No. Being brand new to motorcycling is what CLEAR Moto is here for. We’re happy to help you get started with a private coaching session.

All riders must show proof of a valid motorcycle endorsement in order to participate in any CLEAR Moto training.

This is because we may ride on public roads before, during, and after training.

Unfortunately CLEAR Moto is not in a position to award motorcycle licensing or endorsements.

You must go through New Mexico’s MSF program or test directly with the DMV. If you are in a different state look up “MSF” for licensing class schedules.

CLEAR Moto does have a rental motorcycle available for training purposes only. If you want to learn to ride before investing in your own motorcycle, we’re here for you.

Expertise, dedication, and consideration.

The way we coach is critical to your success, and we take that very seriously.

We have and continue to dedicate much of our time and resources into ensuring you have top-notch coaches and a great learning experiences with us. We do this by continued education both on and off the motorcycles.

Our lead coach and founder, Cassie Maier, has many years of professional coaching and guiding experience. Her mentors are some of the best in the motorcycle training industry. It’s more than just a passion for us, it’s a skill that we are constantly working to improve, ensuring you get the most out of their training and riding experience with CLEAR Moto.

CLEAR Moto is a mobile coaching program, which means that we have to travel to many places around the country to reach our riders. That requires days of our time and fuel costs to get to and from.

We have some of the best coaches in the industry and that isn’t cheap. We also believe in our coaching program because we’ve seen it succeed time and time again with our riders. In our mind, that counts for something.

The way we see it, when it all boils down, training is valuable and if you’re paying for something, you should get what it is worth. If you don’t believe in the CLEAR Moto program, don’t pay our prices.

Our founder, Cassie Maier, lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Some of our training takes place here, while most of our programs are offered in the Southwestern and Western states of the U.S. primarily. Please see our Calendar for training dates and locations.

If you are interested in Private Coaching, that typically takes place in Albuquerque.

First consider how much time you have with adventure riding. Then consider how that time has made you feel? Finally, rank each of these for yourself:

• Confidence

• Proficiency

• Control

Tally it all up and that should help you know which level to sign up for. If you are still unsure, reach out to us and we can help.

Novice level is for new riders, or new-to adventure riders.

The training pace is slower, allowing time for all the information to settle in. We highly encourage learning and dedicating time to learning foundational skills.

Intermediate level is for riders that have a little more experience with adventure riding. The pace is faster based on the mutual understanding that the rider is beyond a novice level pace.

Intermediate+ level is our version of a more advanced course. Pushing the limits and refining the foundational skills to a point where the hard trails aren’t so hard anymore.

Thank you so much for spending your time to travel and train with us!

Many of the locations we use for training have tent and camper van/truck lodging available. Some even have glamping options. Please check the registration page for more details.

You are welcome to arrive the night before no earlier than 4:00 pm. If you need to arrive late, or plan to arrive the morning of, please let us know.

If you are hauling a trailer, or in a large camper or RV, we need to know. This will ensure that you have a place to park and turn around.

If you want or need help unloading and/or loading your motorcycle, please let us know.

All riders must wear a properly fitted DOT approved motorcycle helmet and eye protection while riding a motorcycle during training or on the training facility/property. No exceptions.

We require riders wear:

• Long sleeved shirt

• Long pants (without holes)

• Sturdy closed-toed, over-the-ankle boots

• Full-fingered gloves

You are welcome to have more protection than this of course, and that would warm our hearts. We recommend that your gear be motorcycle specific, and discipline specific.

Please visit our BLOG for a more in-depth explanation of the gear we recommend for adventure riding.

CLEAR Moto believes that motorcycling is for everyone, and that means we want to respect all people. It is a simple gesture to call a person by their chosen name and their appropriate pronoun.

If you don’t want or care to state your pronoun, you do not have to.

Please note that CLEAR Moto does use people’s pronouns and we will not tolerate any intentional disrespect from any of our riders toward any other students, staff, or volunteers.

CLEAR Moto is open to all people and because of this, we do not offer a ladies only. However, because we are a woman-owned and operated school, with a female lead coach, we have a lot of woman riders in our courses. Sometimes we have more women in a classes than men!

We offer co-ed for a few reasons:

• Because we want everyone to feel welcome at all times

• We are respectful of pronoun use and having a gender only course feels limiting

• The men willing to be in a co-ed, pronoun positive space, taught by a woman, are the kind of men we want in our groups

Yes.

If you feel that your coach did a wonderful job, they would greatly appreciate any tip you choose to give them.

We do not provide meals. Please come prepared to feed yourself.

We will provide some snacks and water.

For training locations that have drinking water, we’ll use their water. Bring your own bottled water if you prefer it.

Training will take place in most weather conditions. If the conditions make operating the motorcycle unsafe, training may be cancelled or rescheduled. For a more in-depth list of weather conditions that would cancel training please see the CLEAR Moto Policy page.
