March Moto Madness 2013

Bring your waders.

Yep, and I even paid before the deadline for a change.

I'll drop mine in the mailbox Monday.

I heard it through the grapevine that day 1 of the B.R.A.T. offroad class was full..any news about day two

No doubt, it's at least knee deep now!

...and RTL, do you recall watching someone, who shall remain nameless, take a RTW 800 GS down a ditch at 40 MPH?

my thoughts exactly Troy!

58 pre-registered now representing a majority of the country east of the Mighty Mississippi! and a few west of it too.

14 more than same time last year. :eek1

Yes BRAT training is full on Thurs. If enough want to do it on Fri he'll do it also.

What is the BRAT training?

Man...ya take ONE gravel road, a 90 degree corner and a little too much speed (okay, a lot) and you get to read all about it on The Internet a couple of years later. Ahhh, good times!
Learned: Barbed wire does hold you up if you get all tangled up in it.

Now, what IS BRAT?

definitely not my brightest idea ever

Blue Ridge Adventure Training is a new adventure bike training school in western North Carolina. The school was started by Blair Young.

Blair has been riding for over 20 years and loves teaching motorcycle skills almost as much as he enjoys riding. He's been a MSF instructor since 2002, he's spent most of the last decade on the North Carolina Motorcycle Education Foundation board of directors, he's certified as a trainer auditor with the MSF and worked from 2010-2012 as a motorcycle instructor at the BMW Performance Center in Greer, SC.

While we work towards getting our training grounds completed during 2013, we'll be offering training at various motorcycle gatherings ... including March Moto Madness.

The primary goal of the school will be to introduce those "new to dirt" to the "why and how" of offroad riding in order to get the most out of their adventure bike. No matter a student's level of experience, it's our goal to teach every student something helpful and new.
