Ride Ready is a mini-series for anyone getting back on the bike after a break, whether it's been winter that's kept you off, a busy schedule, or maybe you're planning a trip that's coming up.

This series is packed with essentials of getting back on, the things that you need to remind yourself of.

Plus tips and tricks of becoming a better rider, all from one of the most experienced instructors

in North America, Clinton's spout. Now, Clinton began teaching street rider motorcycle training

in 1983. In 95, he launched an off-road course, and since then he's taught over 135,000 students.

His curriculum now covers trail bikes, adventure bikes, ATVs, side by size, and

snowmobiles. This is episode two of our ride ready mini series. In the last episode, we covered

exercises that you could do without moving the bike. In other words, in your garage. So that made it

so that if you were in the winter somewhere, you could do these things in your garage.

And you should.

We talked about all kinds of things, but finding the correct standing position on your bike,

which was really important, understanding peg weighting, setting the controls up on the bike,

and the important of balance practice.

Now, if you miss that episode, there's a link in the show notes that will take you to that one.

You can find our full Ride Ready miniseries under the Rider Skills link on our website.

Think of this series as a pre-flight checklist, sort of a must-do before you hit the road.

Let's jump into episode two of Ride Ready.
