MSF Advanced Rider Class 2006 and 2007

"What did you learn today, Young Man?" our MSF instructor, Walt Hankinson asked...

I learned that High Country has some GREAT members who are dedicated to their own and their chapter's safe riding success! I learned that while we filled our large class of 12 riders, many more of our chapter members are on a waiting list for the next available slot. (Eric S)

In the 2007 MSF Advanced Rider class Mandy writes: Here is a group shot of those in the Experienced Riders Course, put on by ABATE at Front Range Community College in Westminister on May 19th, 2007. We were always on the course, or standing around doing classroom stuff, so only one photo. Several chapter members were in attendance. It was great! Photo by Mandy.

MSF Advanced Rider Class- 2006

At the Harley Owners Group®, safe riding is a top priority. So, to encourage all our members to ride as skillfully and safely as possible, we offer tuition reimbursement up to US $50* (in the form of a coupon – see guidelines below) for the successful completion of an accredited Motorcycle Safety Foundation** rider training course (Motorcycle & Moped Industry Council course in Canada), or Harley-Davidson Rider's Edge® course. Successful students will also receive a pin and patch featuring the "Safe Rider Skills" logo. Download the reimbursement form here. As a further incentive, H.O.G. chapters with at least 12 members completing a course in a single calendar year will receive special recognition: a Safe Rider Skills plaque. High Country Chapter Colorado #422 is tentatively scheduling another Advanced Rider class in Sept 2006 watch the Rides & Events schedule for more information.

"What did you learn today, Young Man?" our MSF instructor, Walt Hankinson asked...

I was sneaking around with video while Walt was talking so I didn't answer to the group as my other classmates from the "Experienced Rider" class did.

I'll answer that now:

I learned that High Country has some GREAT members who are dedicated to their own and their chapter's safe riding success! I learned that while we filled our large class of 12 riders, many more of our chapter members are on a waiting list for the next available slot.

I see from Greg's great photos that while I was getting too tired to notice--we really DID learn a lot, ride a lot, practice a lot and get coached a lot!

I learned that as a chapter officer, I have only to provide a bit of framework and then stand back as the **real creativity** of our amassed members takes on a life of it's own and far surpasses any expectation or image I might have conceived in "what I thought would happen".

Many thanks to the folks who FILLED!! the MSF class. Many thanks to those on the waiting list. And, many thanks to the members and officers of a great motorcycling mob--the High Country HOG.
