Northwest Motorcycle School


 "We provide motor officer based rider training to civilians with motorcycle endorsements and motor officers." Nationally recognized instructional techniques which are used to train police motor officers across the country are now available to civilian riders. This intensive 42 hour class will develop your coordination, balance, skills and confidence, enabling you to ride with the safety and efficiency enjoyed by the police motor officers.

The key components of the class include; clutch, throttle and brake-control combined with proper head and eye placement. Students are immersed in braking techniques, defensive driving, curve negotiation, pair riding, street riding and precision riding through specially designed cone-patterns that require locked turns along with radical changes of direction in tight places.

This training is available nowhere else in the country, unless you happen to be a police officer! Once you acquire those skills, you'll wonder how you ever managed without them!
