I've seen a lot of people riding around the NY metro area who could certainly benefit from learning how to better become "one with their motorcycle" by participating in this class.

Of course I am not talking about you! But surely you know someone whom I might be talking about.

Do them a favor and turn them on to this thread.

are those hours correct, 1-7pm? i sure would hate to be riding home through Bear Mtn. in the dark after completing the course and hit a deer, wouldn't i feel stupid. seriously, lots of deer in the park, which is how i would be coming home, i'll have to give it some thought but i sure would like to take the course.

Yes, the hours are correct, but depending on the group and weather we might end sooner.

I usually come home up the Palisades to the Bear Mtn Circle and then north on 9W to the POK bridge.
