RANGE PREPARATION RANGE EXERCISES
RIDERCOACH SIGNALS
RiderCoaches use hand signals during the riding exercises. Common signals include engine start, engine stop, ready to start out, speed up, slow down, stop, and increase space. These and other signals will be demonstrated.
HOW RANGE EXERCISES WORK
1. Your RiderCoach tells you the name of the exercise and its objective. Listen closely to the objective because it will help you focus your learning.
2. The general range setup will be described so you know what parts of the range are used.
3. You will be given specific instructions and a demonstration of where to go and what to do.
4. A RiderCoach will provide timely tips to help you with the proper path of travel as well as with riding procedures and techniques.
5. Many exercises include practice on the motorcycle with the engine off before actually riding. These simulated practices have you think about what actions you will use on the range.
175 Upon exercise completion, you will be asked questions like:
1. What went well and why?
2. What do you need to improve upon?
These questions help you understand the value of the skill and develop the habit of reflecting about your riding.
