All The Gear, All The Time. It’s words to live by —literally— and bringing the proper riding gear to class is seriously important. Remember, having the wrong stuff is a no-no and can lead to a dismissal 🙁  Here’s the short list of what you’ll need, and more in-depth info can be found here.

  1. Helmet DOT-approved (we also supply loaner helmets)

  2. Eye protection (eyeglasses, sunglasses, face shield or goggles)

  3. Boots or sturdy over-the-ankle footwear.  Ankles MUST be covered. Canvas/cloth shoes, or boots with elastic sides (“Chelsea boots”) are not permitted. Also, leather-sole or safety-toe boots are not recommended, as they may hinder proper motorcycle foot controls.

  4. Gloves full-fingered only (leather preferred)

  5. Long Sleeve Shirt or Jacket

  6. Long Pants (denim or material of equivalent or better durability) Sorry but… flared, yoga, Jeggings and/or pants with obvious holes are not permitted.

Where to Buy Riding Gear? Below are some retailers, both local and online. that can help you get geared up. Also, if money is tight, ask a riding friend if they may have some stuff you can borrow, or even shop secondhand stores. Whatever the case, make sure your gear fits well!
