Being Counseled-Out

Learning to ride a motorcycle is both mentally and physically demanding. If, in the judgment of the RiderCoach:

You pose a danger to yourself or others,

you may be counseled out of the course and asked to return at a later date when you are better prepared. This opportunity to return is provided at no additional cost.
