This approximately 5-hr course is for experienced riders. There is no formal classroom and the riding exercises focus on limited-space maneuvers, modeled after police training courses. Through progressively challenging exercises, you develop smooth and precise control and learn more about the limits of your abilities and your bike’s capability. You must bring a valid motorcycle permit/license endorsement, and an insured/registered/street-legal motorcycle.
Sharpen your slow riding skills and you will greatly improve your overall skills. The ABATE Police Style Riding was developed and is presented by former police motor officer/trainer Don “Top” Gunn and concentrates on the low-speed maneuvers taught to police officers for the purposes of increasing riding proficiency as well as confidence. Learn to operate a motorcycle at its limits with emphasis on turning in the smallest area, use of transmission clutch and brakes for the highest level of control, and practice maximum braking and brake-and-escape maneuvers. Smaller-sized training bikes are used the first day of this two-day course. Students are encouraged to use their own (safe street-legal) bike on the second day. Requirements: A valid drivers license with motorcycle endorsement, your own street legal motorcycle with current registration and proof of insurance. – Course is 2 days

Judi Purcell was an avid motorcyclist and loved teaching others to share her enthusiasm for riding. After we lost Judi to a serious illness in November 2002, the ABATE State Board of Directors voted to create a scholarship to honor her years of helping others learn to ride. Judi’s memory lives on in those who benefit from this scholarship.
ABATE awards four scholarships per year, quarterly. Applicants are asked to fill out the application and return it with a short essay stating why this scholarship would be beneficial to them.
Candidates must be at least 15 years of age and currently hold a driver’s license or driver’s instructional permit.
