Additional Details

We recommend you ride or trailer *shudder* your ADV or Dual-Sport bike to our event. There is plenty of safe parking and applying your new skills to a large motorcycle is an important part of the course.

This course is recommended for 600cc and up dual-sport and Adventure motorcycles, but “Big Bike” is a relative term! If you’re a smaller statured rider a 400cc bike can feel like a beast! if you have any questions about your situation, contact us at adventure@tractionerag.com – We’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

Upon registration, we will email a complete list of items to bring and things to consider.
