The class is very worthwhile! Sara and I have done the basics and Advanced courses twice each now, in order to keep our certifications up and will keep doing so.
But even doing the classes just once is a rewarding and satisfying experience. You never know if the skills you learn will be called upon to aid a friend, club mate or spouse :)

Biker Down
I am writing about a horrifying incident that occurred over this past weekend within our motorcycle group. Michele, Roxanne, Steve and I received our Basic, Advanced and Instructors ASM certification from Vicki Sanfelipo in Santa Cruz last fall and we all happened to be on this ride together. I can tell you that I have personally used my skills in 5 separate incidents - 2 of them being serious accidents. Others in our group have reported being called upon in separate incidents of their own. Sad to say, we were called upon again, to protect, prepare and serve an injured rider.
Our pack of 17 motorcycles were cruising at just under the flow of congested traffic conditions on a busy northern CA Hwy on a hot day. I was behind a rider who, it seemed, did not immediately react to a rapid deceleration and slowing of traffic to a crawl until too late.

Content and picture provided by Social MonstersSometimes, the best way to break a bad habit is to avoid forming it in the first place. This can be especially true for new motorcyclists, who require an extra degree of care and vigilance when first heading out on the open road. Whether by choosing the right apparel, inspecting your bike for mechanical issues or closely adhering todriving laws, you need a wide range of know-how to ensure your safety and the safety of the drivers around you. Here are seven tips for motorcyclists looking to develop good defensive driving habits from day one.

Harley Davidson Study on Women & Motorcycles
112 women raised money for a local Police Department Accident Scene Management training.
A Harley-Davidson-sponsored study about women and motorcycles says those who ride are considerably happier, more confident and more fulfilled than those who do not.
Freud asked, "What does woman want?"
Harley-Davidson has the answer. She wants a motorcycle -- or should.
That is the result of a study of female motorcycle riders and non-riders, commissioned by the Wisconsin-based bike manufacturer.
Female riders were twice as likely as their non-riding counterparts to feel "confident."
