March 31 DFW activities

For those who can't make it to GOTF, there are a couple of fun things this weekend in the DFW area. There has already been a post about the Police Bike Rodeo competition. Here's the info on a police officer taught slow riding course. There isn't a set fee, but they accept donations towards CMA's annual fundraiser. I've taken the course before from Craig and it will sharpen your skills even if you know and have used the concepts before. Most of us don't spend dedicated practice time and this will give you a morning of that. It is not the intensive weekend course some of us have taken elsewhere, but it is good and if you can't get to GOTF, it will put a smile on your face.

GLORY RIDERS
SLOW RIDING CLASS
March 31, 2012
Instructor: Craig McCaughan
Retired Fort Worth Police Dept.

This training class will cover the aspects of riding and the maneuvering of two wheel
motorcycles at very low speeds.

The class will also cover basics such as proper stopping and starting and turning at low
speeds through and around traffic cones, proper throttle control and use of the brakes while
turning. The class will also include discussion about the addition of safety devices to the
motorcycles and the rider that add to their viability.

This training class is open to CMA and non CMA riders. All participants are required to
wear a DOT certified helmet and boots that cover the ankles while taking part in the riding
activities. Gloves are not required but are highly recommended.

The class will start promptly at 9 AM on the SW parking lot of the The Hills Church of
Christ formerly the Richland Hills Church of Christ and will conclude between 12 Noon and
