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.
How is the date chosen?
After the short form, Brayden contacts you to confirm the rider fit and agree on a date and time.
