It's the beginning of June, and that means that any schools that are offering motorcycle education courses are in full swing in the northern hemisphere. That certainly goes for the ABATE of Anchorage rider education course in Alaska. Only, it's going to be more difficult now, because the nonprofit rider school just had not one, not two, but EIGHT entire motorcycles stolen earlier this week.
That's full half of the 16 bikes they have on hand to teach students. If you've been through MSF's Basic RiderCourse before, you know just how helpful it is when a school that teaches beginners already has the bikes on hand for training its students. Unsurprisingly, the school told local Anchorage news station KTUU that it's booked solid since riding season is so short in Alaska, and that it can see hundreds of students make their way through the course in a single season.
