NAS Jacksonville held their first all-female Motorcycle Basic Rider Course Nov. 18-19 with five participants learning the ins and outs of how to ride a motorcycle safely. The course was comprised of classroom work and range exercises to test their knowledge both mentally and physically.
“We are teaching them the basics of learning to ride a motorcycle including gear shifting, braking, maneuvering skills, how to avoid hazards and how to have confidence on a bike. Most of participants out here have been riding on the back of a motorcycle and have decided they want to try it on their own,” said Cape Fox Professional Services Motorcycle Instructor Kristen Montejo, as she taught a series of range exercises to the participants.
