All Class

Adventure Rider Magazine’s first off-road coaching clinic went offwith a bang. In true adventure-riding style though, there were some challenges.

Dargle, to the north and west of Sydney, has long been the home of off-road motorcycle schools and coaching in NSW, and where a great many of today’s more senior riders would’ve done any training as youngsters. It was possibly where a young Miles Davis, now one of Australia’s most sought-after motorcycle coaches, cut his chops on his way to riding and coaching super-stardom.

Whatever. It was the venue for the first of three adventure-riding courses planned for 2018, and, under the watchful eye of Miles D himself, nine riders sharpened their skills and wound through the witches’ hats.

And they finished up a lot better and more confident riders.
