MSF's RIDE Days Create New Riders
T
he Motorcycle Safety Foun-
dation (MSF) is well-known
for its motorcycle-riding courses,
which help people prepare for a
life on two wheels and enhance
advance riders with motorcy-
cling skills. To grow the sport
and get more people started
on the right path to riding with
good habits, the MSF recently
created RIDE Day. These one-
day events feature MOTO Intro,
for those who have never ridden
can try out a motorcycle for the
first time, and/or SKILLS Check,
which gives experienced riders
the opportunity to practice more
advanced techniques under the
guidance of MSF RiderCoaches.
The RIDE Day experiences are
scheduled from March to Novem

the USA and are completely free.
Starting in September, the MSF is
ramping up for 90 days of RIDE
Day, a nationwide effort to get as
many new riders on motorcycles
as possible.
