Educational Trail Riding

EDUCATIONAL TRAIL RIDING

By now college courses in motorcycle safety have become, if not common, at least accepted. One of the leaders in motorcycle safety education, Northern Illinois University, recently expanded into another area of motorcycle training by offering trail riding workshops.

The five day workshops were held on Michigan’s 750 mile motorcycle trail system around Walkerville, Michigan. Motorcycles and helmets were provided by the university, which required that motorcyclists taking the course already be experienced cyclists. Besides motorcycle riding, the workshops included discussion sessions and various other types of recreation.

This year’s workshops are over, now, but for information about the courses, contact the Motorcycle Safety Project, College of Continuing Education, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, 111. 60115.
