  • Our one-day curriculum is a total of six hours long. Due to the layout of the March Moto Madness, we wanted to give riders the option for a shorter version (the four-hour course) with the option to add the additional two-hours to complete the curriculum.

    The two-hour add-on can be added at time of service or during time of registration.

    The end of the course is when we begin to dive into steering and turning.

  • Tires:

    Ideally a 50/50 or a more off-road biased tire is great. Getting new tires is not a requirement. Please consult your local dealership for tires.

    The way we like to explain tires is: you can wear sneakers while playing soccer or you can wear cleats.

    Motorcycle Protection:

    There is a chance your motorcycle will fall on its side during training. Adding protection can help prevent minor to serious damage to your motorcycle. Please consult your local dealership for motorcycle protection.

    Keep in mind it can take weeks for your tires or parts to arrive if they need to be ordered. Plan ahead.

  • Please, if you have any questions regarding our gear requirements, contact us.

    For your safety, CLEAR Moto may deny you training if you are not wearing/using the required gear.

    • Wear a properly fitted DOT approved motorcycle helmet

    • Wear Eye protection (goggles, sunglasses, glasses, or a closed helmet face-screen)

    • Wear Gloves

    • Wear Long pants

    • Wear Over-the-ankle boots

    Note: Motorcycling can be dangerous. Having the right gear, which fits properly is important in keeping your body safe.

    Luggage:

    We recommend training without luggage on. You can come to training with it and take it off.

    Breaks will naturally take place in-between exercises however we’ll also take a break at least every sixty minutes. This allows for rest, food, water, and potty breaks.

    If at any point you need a break during training, take one.

  • Lunch:

    If you add the two-hour add-on, we’ll take a quick lunch break. Please come prepared with food and water so we can get back to training.

    Water:

    Please bring plenty of water. Adding some electrolytes isn’t a bad idea either.

    Snacks:

    Bring snacks. We’ll take small breaks throughout training to ensure you can refuel and rehydrate.

  • Due to the nature of this event and the time and travel required, we ask that riders give no less than a two week notice when cancelling in order to receive a full refund. Anything less than that will only result in a 50% refund (no refund for those that have only paid a deposit).

  • Accidents happen. We do our best to keep you safe during training.

    It is our goal to keep all riders safe. It is important that you listen to the instructions given by your coach throughout the duration of training.

    If you are injured, we will assist in getting you the services you need. It is important that you provide an emergency contact on the waiver.

    NOTE: You are fully responsible for yourself and your body. That includes the body and property of those around you as well, in the case of a collision.

  • It is certainly appreciated. If you feel that your coach did a wonderful job they would be grateful for any tip amount.
