Intersection — Motorist Awareness
This is a one-hour, classroom-only program for non-motorcyclists that stresses ways to share the road with motorcycles. Designed to enhance motorists' awareness of motorcycles, the class combines personal stories with a dramatic look at a crash scene that is all too common. Classroom activities can be tailored to meet the needs of new drivers in driver education courses, experienced drivers who may or may not ride a motorcycle, and professional drivers/truckers. Based on the audience, one of three 13 minute DVD video versions is used to highlight key points. Take-away materials are provided to the participants.
Share the Adventure — Group Riding

A 16 minute DVD video is used to highlight key points. Take-away materials are provided to the participants.
