As you’ve probably heard over the past few years, sales of adventure motorcycles have been booming. Talk to any shops you know in your area, and you’ll probably hear a lot of the same thing: They just can’t keep a lot of bikes in that category in stock. (That seems to hold true whether the bikes are new or used, because seemingly everyone is thirsty for a little two-wheeled sense of adventure.)
If you’re already a seasoned adventure rider, that’s one thing—but a lot of people aren’t. What do you do if you want to get some solid skills under your belt so you can ride your new (or new-to-you) ADV bike off the asphalt? There are a number of courses and schools that offer training, but there’s only one Motorcycle Safety Foundation. In summer 2022, it introduced its brand new AdventureBike RiderCourse.
