MSF Launches Super
RIDE Day Weekend
T
he Motorcycle Safety Founda-
tion (MSF) is launching Super
RIDE Day Weekend, May 29-31,
a coordinated national effort
with training providers across
the country to introduce those
curious about motorcycling
to the right way to get started,
with proper training, profes
-
sional coaching, proper gear and
appropriate-sized motorcycles.
More than 40 training sites
across 23 states have already
committed to hosting events,
with additional participation ex
-
pected in the coming weeks.
RIDE Day provides a structured
introduction to motorcycling led
by MSF-certified RiderCoaches,
using training ranges, appropri
-
ate motorcycles, and
proper gear to ensure
first experiences take
place in a controlled, pro
-
fessional environment.
Since launching in
2022, more than 5,000
people have participated
in RIDE Day events across
199 events in 29 states.
"RIDE Days create a clear and
accessible starting point for peo
-
ple interested in riding," said Corey
Eastman, Director of Rider Educa-
tion Expansion at MSF. "They con-
nect new riders with local training
locations, so they know where to
go when they decide they want to
learn to ride. Since RIDE Days were
so popular, we decided to launch
Super Weekend to give people
across the country the opportunity
to participate."
MSF survey data shows that 50
percent of RIDE Day participants
go on to complete an MSF Basic
RiderCourse, the course used to
earn a motorcycle license.
