<p>Open ground for a classroom, trail riding for syllabus! Learning from Bert Tkacs at the Top Gun Adventure Riding School</p>
I own a Triumph Tiger 800. And I’m afraid that I won’t be able to afford to fix it if I drop it. That’s what I went to learn at the Top Gun India Adventure Riding Academy. The Academy was held over the past month or so at multiple locations, I attended the one in Mumbai — the very first one. The star attraction was the lead instructor, Bret Tkacs who runs MotoTrek, a popular YouTube channel that talks about adventure bike riding skills. Tkacs is an adv riding trainer with more than 20 years of experience. Tkacs is also a military sportbike rider course instructor and conducts army traffic safety training programs in America currently. Could Bret and Top Gun India teach me the skills needed to end my fears and allow me to explore all the places I always imagine I’d take Starscream (yep, that’s what I call my Tiger) to?
Who is Top Gun India?
The Top Gun India Riding Academy, earlier the Vortex Racing Academy, was founded by Mumbai-based motorcycle racer Vikrant Ghate. The academy has signed on Bret Tkacs for adventure riding training programme. It was a two-day event. `18,000 for the event covered the two days of tuition as well as food and beverages. I didn’t go for the food and that was probably a good thing - the riding was great but the grub wasn’t.
