Jimmy Lewis Off-Road Riding School Vendor Thread

Every so often we do a true rally Navigation training class, see thread here:

and we will be doing a Rally Navigation "Lite" class after the AltRider event in February Link here:

Hope this answers the question.

Yes it does, thank you!

How often do you offer a Navigation class in the course of a year? (Not sure if I can make the one in Feb)

Navigation classes are upon request of a confirmed paying client, then we announce we are doing it if the client wants it to be an open class. The price is dependent on the number of students and the routes used.

There is a thread in the racing forum "I want to to Dakar (the Right Way)" that announces these as well as notifications on our web site and through our newsletter when we know far enough in advance.

I will watch for the next class, thanks Jimmy!

Hi Jimmy
Any chance you may do a traveling school in the future? I know some have problems coordinating time off to get down south.
Always loved riding the escargot course during the DR torture test .

Since I'm no longer strapped down with a day job I will be traveling during the summer months and arranging classes along the way. If you have a proposed time and place, let me know and I can put it into the consideration list for when I plan my trips. The closer the location to great riding the better!

Anchorage, Alaska? Have a large riding area 30 minutes away with plenty of sand and water crossings. Unfortunately I won't be here during the summer this year. Next year yes.

Chattanooga Tennessee! Jimmy if you come here I will make darn sure you have a class slam full! Great riding? lol... We got Some of the best riding in the world!

Seriously... PM me and I will do whatever it takes to help you organize it!

Here is our latest riding tip on front brake usage. These go out in our newsletter and are put up on our web site as we get them out.

I'm signed up and excited!

I won't be on a "large" bike but I'm sure there will be endless amounts to learn regardless.

Us Canucks don't get a chance to take advantage of this kind of thing very often, so I'm going to jump at the opportunity. Hope to meet some of you there!

I just registered for the April class too! I'll be riding in and camping for the weekend.

Are there any plans to have a class somewhere around Northern California?

thanks

If you are a past student of JLR Off-Road Training (going all the way back to 1999) we would love to host you at our camp-out. In the mountains above Lake Isabella, CA on June 1 and 2. We will have food for you (dinner and breakfast) and lead small groups on rides for both trail bikes and big dual-purpose bikes.

We'll a head count by Tuesday May 28th, so make sure you let us know if you'll be coming.

This event is FREE to past students.

Hope to see you there,
