Advanced Riding
One fo the biggest draws to the International Motorcycle Show, Advanced Riding seminars are a great way for experienced riders to build on existing skills. What is the purpose? Getting you to ride better. Bikes are better, tires are better, but people are still crashing. It doesn't matter f you are a track-day junkie, touring rider, commuter, or a cruiser rider... the bike and environment don't matter. What matters the most is what you are doing on the bike and when. Get insight on advanced riding techniques from professional instructors to see how the best riders survive and thrive. At select IMS shows, you can get excellent information on how to get the most out of your ride from Ken Hill, Nick Ienatsch, and Scott Russell from the Yamaha Champions Riding School. If you are looking to build on your existing skills and further your technique, this is a great opportunity to get the knowledge that you need to drop your lap times and get the most out of your ride. With over 45 minutes of education, topics will be covered in the depth that you need and expect.
