Quick answers
Know before you ride.
Does the rider need a motorcycle?
No. Learn to Ride is for riders who need Forge to provide the motorcycle.
What if the rider already owns a bike?
Choose Private Coaching to learn on the motorcycle they already ride.
Is safety gear included?
Choose the $495 option for Forge rental safety gear. The $395 option is for riders with approved gear of their own.
Do we need motocross pants and a jersey?
No. A durable long-sleeve shirt and sturdy pants can work. Helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, and other required safety gear must fit correctly.
