SB 101—Introduction to Motorcycle Riding

The excitement of learning to ride a motorcycle is unlike any other experience. Atlanta Motorcycle Schools’ course Introduction to Motorcycle Riding harnesses each customer’s enthusiasm and guides beginning riders through the basic steps of operating a motorcycle. The individualized coaching stresses rider comfort and control, providing a sound foundation on which customers can develop their individual skills.

This course is also well-suited for re-entry riders who have not ridden for several years. Instruction covers the basic motorcycle skills of straight line riding, shifting, turning, and braking. Most of the rider’s time is spent practicing these skills. After completing SB 101, most riders are ready to practice these newly acquired skills on their own motorcycle. Some are ready to begin riding on the streets—others opt for more parking lot practice on their own motorcycle. A temporary motorcycle permit is required to ride on the street. See our FAQ page for licensing information.

SB 111—Introduction to Motorcycle/Scooter Riding & Street Skills

Introduction to Motorcycle/Scooter Riding & Street Skills is well-suited to both beginning riders who seek instruction in basic riding skills and on-road coaching, and intermediate riders (including those who have not ridden for several years) desiring to brush up on their skills in a real-world environment.

SB 111 begins with the basic motorcycle skills taught in SB 101. These skills must be acquired and successfully demonstrated by the customer prior to beginning the public street instruction. The one-to-one ratio of customer to instructor will be maintained during the public street portion of the training. A street-legal motorcycle or scooter will be provided for this course. Bike-to-bike communicators may be used to facilitate coaching.

After completing SB 111, most riders are ready to practice their newly-acquired skills on their motorcycle.

SB 201—Intermediate Rider Skills

Intermediate Rider Skills is the ideal course for riders who seek to improve their traffic awareness, everyday riding skills, emergency stopping and swerving skills, and cornering technique. SB201 begins with a thorough analysis of the customer's current riding skills. Coaching tips and practice are provided to improve riding posture, comfort, and control. Working at the customer's pace, exercises that stress visual and throttle control are added. Next, the theory of advanced skills and techniques is discussed and the customer practices emergency stops, obstacle-avoidance maneuvers, and advanced cornering. More practice in turning and everyday riding techniques is then provided, including tight parking lot turns, turning from a stop, slow riding, and U-turns. At the end of the course, the customer's proficiency level is evaluated.

SB 301—Street Smarts

Street Smarts is a street riding course designed to enable the experienced motorcyclist to obtain supervised “real world” traffic experience on their own motorcycles. In the classroom portion of the course, the topics of protective clothing, lane positioning, road hazards, and emergency and cornering situations are reviewed. Discussion also includes changing weather, varying road/traffic conditions, intersection hazards, and interstate and mountain road riding. Depending on the customer’s skill level, the riding portion of this course may begin on a closed course with practice in cornering and stopping techniques. For the public street portion of the class, riders may choose between urban, suburban, and rural mountain riding. The mountain riding session begins on country lanes, and is designed to improve rider confidence by progressively introducing roads with a greater variety of curves and elevation changes.

Note: A safety inspection of the customer’s motorcycle will be performed prior to beginning the course. Proper tire condition, tire pressure, and suspension settings are critical aspects of this inspection. In addition, the motorcycle must not have any fluid leaks. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure that the motorcycle is in good condition prior to arriving at the training site. The instructor reserves the right to cancel a course and reschedule any customer whose motorcycle does not pass inspection.

ST 501—Scenic Mountain Tours

While North Georgia, Eastern Tennessee, and Western North Carolina boast some of the best motorcycle roads in the country, many riders are unfamiliar with these roads. Atlanta Motorcycle Schools offers one-, two-, and three-day tours in this tri-state area that provide motorcyclists with the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful and lightly-trafficked Appalachian highways while practicing the skills and techniques of mountain road riding. Techniques covered during the tours include proper cornering lines, gear selection, line-of-sight, proper passing, and selecting speeds appropriate for traffic and weather conditions. Speed will be adjusted to allow for differences in motorcycles and riding styles but will not exceed speed limits.

Rider-to-instructor ratios will not exceed three-to-one. Motorcycles must be in excellent mechanical condition with good tires and reasonably quiet mufflers-no straight or open exhausts are permitted. A motorcycle operator license is required. Passengers are welcome for an additional fee.

Please visit our Tour page for detailed tour descriptions and prices.

ST 502—Adventure Motorcycle Tours

Let us guide you on a two-day scamper through northeast Georgia, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee which will mix pavement and unpavement in a way that entwines well-maintained gravel roads with deliciously twisty back roads. While we might explore a scenic dead-end or two just for the fun of riding beside a trout stream, the objective will be to show riders new to this genre how to string together gravel roads which actually go somewhere.

Rider-to-instructor ratios will not exceed three-to-one. Motorcycles must be in excellent mechanical condition with good tires and suspension capable of riding on rutted, gravel roads. A motorcycle operator license is required. Passengers are welcome for an additional fee.
