Empire State Motorcycle Safety Education Program
is introducing a new motorcycle riding educational experience of
real time training that is co-sponsored with
On The Road Again Motorcycle School (OTRA).


SkilledRider Safety Tour:
Road Rider Training & Scenic Tour at its Best

Ever feel that practicing in parking lots or even doing training such as track days really doesn't give you what you need to be prepared for everyday riding on our roadways? We certainly do. Our SkilledRider Safety Tour is a fantastic way to become a more proficient rider by not only increasing your situational awareness development, but to learn or enhance riding skills used for everyday riding at real time, real world conditions.

Our instructional and learner centered approach will help you focus on every thought process, motorcycle adjustment and skill adjustment for road, traffic, environmental plus operator conditions. Becoming a smoother rider through education, practice and proficiency will help reduce the risks associated with motorcycle riding. 

Technical aspects of set up and approaches for safe flowing cornering , lane adjustments for all conditions, speed adjustments with various method options plus learning to "read the road" are just a couple of the major cornerstones of our program. You will not only be exposed to possibly new information on skill techniques, but have the ability to demonstrate what you have learned with instant feedback and commentary from our trained Skills Advisers.

Motorcycling is a fun exciting motorsport, but it does have its risks. Education, practice of skills and use of information with continued reinforcement will not only raise your level of safety, but believe it or not - raise your overall riding experiences and joy of motorcycling.  

This is a unique opportunity for any rider to enhance their riding with the combination of a scenic tour through some of the more enjoyable roads in the region.

Our Program

The program is a combination of a planned single day or weekend guided scenic trip that includes real time on the road advanced motorcycle training – We are taking the skill practice out of the parking lot and putting the classroom on the road.

With an approach of radio communication (provided by the program for use) to relay the real time information as its happening plus a  mixed of scheduled stops to discuss what we experienced, what worked best, why we decided on our actions and if there are alternatives as well as riding methods and concepts. We plan to evaluate a wide spectrum of riding techniques, lane positioning, cornering approaches and setups throughout the weekend.

Besides skills and safety education, one of our primary goals is to offer not only an opportunity to learn the skills to become a more proficient rider, but to have a fun enjoyable riding weekend.

Instructional & Learner Centered Education

Our program is set up as a maximum 4 to 1 ratio (Attendees to Skills Advisor - limit 8 attendees to the program), which helps make the information more personable for your educational needs and will give each attendee the opportunity to be out front several times over the duration for one on one commentary and evaluation. You'll receive real time training and information from qualified instructors as the ride progresses.

Our Skill Advisors/Tour Leaders are all New York State Motorcycle Instructors and have a combine level of expertise that will certainly meet your expectations and essential needs.   

The Program is open to all level of licensed motorcycle riders of all styles of riding and motorcycles.
