Owning a motorcycle is a dream for many people, but what if you don’t know how to ride? There are many resources available for learning how to ride a motorcycle and riding courses are some of the best! Our team at Maxey’s Motorsports is here to help you have the best ownership experience, so we want to share a few reasons why you might consider completing a motorcycle course.

Learn the Basics

When you’re a new rider, or even if you’ve ridden before, taking a motorcycle riding course can help you safely learn the basics. You’ll be introduced to motorcycle etiquette, controls, techniques, and scenarios that are essential for riding safely.

Most courses will prefer if you have your own motorcycle, but there are options available to learn on a borrowed motorcycle as well.

Become Confident

As you build on the basics, you’ll be able to build confidence as a rider before you ever hit the road. It’s very similar to driver's education, but often takes place in an empty parking lot! You’ll be able to test your knowledge and gain experience in a controlled environment with trained instructors.

Understand Safety

Staying safe on a motorcycle might seem like an obvious thing; wear a helmet, pay attention to other vehicles, and stay within your limits. However, motorcycle courses dive deeper into what it means to stay safe on the back of a bike. You’ll learn about proper techniques that contribute to safe riding, how to correctly wear your helmet, and how to respond in different situations. These courses are designed to give you as much know-how as possible to make you a smart, safe, and certain rider.

There are many more reasons why motorcycle riding courses are beneficial and we hope you’ll consider working with our team when you’re ready to have a motorcycle of your own. Visit us in Oklahoma City, OK, to have a look at our inventory. We serve the Tulsa and Edmond areas.
