We all had fun and supported each other and the instructors were fantastic and had a lot of experience. Yes I made mistakes, but was never criticized or laughed at, but encouraged the entire time. It wasn't that long ago that I learned, but I know that I will never lose that wonderful feeling of accomplishment that I have now, for something I never ever thought I would learn to do.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351316939651211941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661119267953946017.post-74321214575833864122011-11-16T23:29:36.832-05:002011-11-16T23:29:36.832-05:00I loved this post!

I learned so much about myself and it has made me a more confident capable woman in all aspects of my life. <br /><br />Learning to ride is all about the instructor, if they are passionate and it shows in their teaching it is a very powerful thing. My Novice instructors were amazing and they gave me the confidence and skills to be a proficient motorcyclist. They also allowed me to grow through making mistakes and building strong skills out of those mistkes. That little parkinglot was my world for 2 weekends and I lived to hear the encouraging words from my instructor. He believed in me and that belief made me successful.<br /><br />I was very fortunate to have an excellent Traffic Safety instructor as well.. He took us into the real world and we followed him like little fledgling chicks. By the end of the first day we were driving down a short stretch of the Trans Canada Highwat at 90 kmh. Wow! By the end of the weekend we were all ready for our road tests. I will never forget after the last session of my course I came home and went for a ride with my husband and when we got home he told me how improved my riding was. <br /><br />My instructors inspired me to be a life long motorcycle learner and safe motorcyclists who believes in good riding techniques and ATGATT. I whole heartedly recommend everyone considering a riding a motorcycle or scooter to take a recognised Novice and Traffic Safety riding course, it is the difference that will save your life and give you a solid foundation of skills. Who knows maybe one day I will become a motorcycle instructor.Thank you for sharing your passion and love of riding with us!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.com
