    Free sportbike ERC june 20 or 21st

    In Bourne at Training Wheels facility, with an awesome coach.

    It's the experienced course. You must have a couple of thousand miles riding experience at least and you'll need your own bike to take the class. Yes, you will get your license if you pass and you will get the insurance discounts also.

    Here's the scoop.

    The state is funding it. You will need tyo place a refundable deposit with training wheels to ensure that you show up.

    Prefer the following criteria.

    1. Between 25 and 40 years old
    2. Riding on a permit
    3. Must ride a sportbike
    4. Must have never taken an MSF class before


    Contact training wheels for details.
    www.trainingwheelsonline.com

    ride@trainingwheelsonline.com is the email address.

    Note changes to criteria in first post.

    Between 25 years old and 40 years old.

    We are looking for people who have some riding experience but have stayed on a permit and have not got their license.

    Re: Free sportbike ERC june 20 or 21st

    I have permanently misplaced my Ironstone Ventures completion card from Early 1995ish from Weymouth Air force Base and no longer can get an insurance discount because I have changed companies a couple of times. Is there a way a way to re-track this or do I have to take another training course just to get the card?

    jeez, i think you're out of luck. I don't think ironstone or anyone keeps records that long.

    give me a call, you'd be amazed how far back our records go......no other school can say the same.

    Of course, you could take another class......Ironstone is hosting it's second state funded ERC at Seekonk on Sat June 27 or Sun June 28. It would be free, with a security deposit just to make sure you show up......call us at 508-278-0172 or joe@ironstoneventures.com
    It's the same deal offered by Training Wheels.....

    Seriously, though, while the "TARGET" audience is between 25 and 40, I will accept any application to fill the class......unless I get more of the targeted age group than I have openings; which, from experience, is highly unlikely.

    What about in the target age group but with a license that's been suspended a few times?

    here's my retort.....Ironstone's mission is to get as many riders trained (and licensed) as possible regardless of their age, gender, religious beliefs, past history, etc ..... period.
    Yeah, the grant we've received has some targets/goals, but they are not meant to be exclusive.....

    1. Between 25 and 40 years old. NO, 44
    2. Riding on a permit. NO, Licensed since 1983
    3. Must ride a sportbike. YES
    4. Must have never taken an MSF class before. YES, I have never participated in a structured course.

    Can I still participate ?

    Mass RMV on Martha's Vineyard gave me my 1st full endorsement in the summer of 1983.

    Does it have to be street legal to run the course or can I trailer it over?
