Rider Education
One of the primary purposes of GWRRA and its chapters is rider education. It pertains to
the Safety and Knowledge part of our motto: Friends for Fun, Safety, and Knowledge.
The more
knowledgeable you are, the safer you and those around you are.
For further information contact Chapter Educators Dennis Goldman or Bob Crawford

Rider, Co-Rider, and Group Riding seminars.Have you ever seen a group of motorcycles riding down the road? Were they orderly, safe, courteous, and a pleasure to watch?
In keeping with GWRRA motto: Friends for Fun Safety and Knowledge
, we have guidelines for
riding. Our instructors conduct seminars periodically for riders,
co-riders, and group riding techniques. These seminars and their
location will be announced in the
calendar.
Parking Lot Practice is your chance to hone your parking lot (slow speed) rider/co-rider skills held on the fourth Saturday of each month (see calendar for dates and times). PLP is not formal training intended to teach you how to ride. For that you need to attend a class like those put on by Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). PLP is an informal practice session intended to increase your skill level in a safe location. There are no "Instructors" and no "pressure to perform" at PLP but you can get all the help you want or need from other riders.
PLP is open to anyone with a motorcycle of any make or model. You do not have to be a member of GWRRA or Chapter CA1F to participate.
There are however, some requirements:
- Valid motorcycle drivers license, valid motorcycle registration and valid insurance.
- Safe and street legal motorcycle.
- Proper safety riding gear: Over the ankle boots, DOT approved helmet, long leg pants, long sleeve shirt or jacket, eye protection, full finger gloves.
New to GWRRA, new to Chapter CA1F, or even new to motorcycling? We have a mentoring program to help you get acquainted. Will even feed you breakfast at your first meeting.
