ADVENTURE KICKSTART
2 DAY - TUITION/TOUR
Dust off your helmet and brace yourself for a weekend that will kick start your adventure riding skills !
Have you recently completed your Ls or Ps and are itching to dominate the dirt trails? Perhaps you're a seasoned rider, but the thought of solo adventures leaves you with butterflies in your stomach. Regardless of your experience level, Fine Line Rider Training and Aussie Bike or Hike have the perfect antidote for you:
The Adventure Kick Start Tuition/Tour
Crafted for dirt newbies by the pros, this two-day off road adventure brings together Fine Line's expertise in transforming wobbly knees into confident grins and Aussie Bike or Hike's mastery in organizing motorcycle adventures worldwide. Consider it the training wheels for your wanderlust.
The entire ride is designed as a light adventure, making it suitable for novice riders on any size bike. We recommend intermediate 50/50 road trail type tires for an optimal experience. Plus, you'll have the guidance and support of two experienced riders/trainers, accompanied by a support vehicle with a trailer following along.
This isn't merely a "riding course" or a "tour" it's a perfect blend of both worlds.
Fine Line Rider Training boasts a remarkable track record, having trained over 60,000 new motorcycle students at their Taree training range over a 30-year period. Aussie Bike or Hike, owned and led by two-time motorcycle world champion Alex Cudlin, has conducted tours in over 8 different countries around the world, including Australia of course.
In this Adventure Kick Start Tuition/Tour, our instructors/guides will showcase the dangers of crossing that causeway and provide insights into dirt riding techniques, covering standing/sitting, skids, emergency stops, and much more – all on the fly as opportunities arise. You’ll have plenty of stops along the way and plenty of time for some great photos on your ride, ensuring a safe and enjoyable arrival at your overnight accommodation, after a thrilling day of riding.
The adventure begins at our 10 acre dedicated motorcycle training facility in Taree, where half a day will be spent honing your skills on the dirt. Lunch will be supplied by us, then brace yourself for an awe-inspiring tour, weaving through stunning backroads, a blend of dirt and tar (no gnarly single-track trails to worry about!). There will be some breathtaking lookouts along the way, as you soak up the Aussie wilderness all the way to Gloucester.
The evening in Gloucester will be dedicated to an information session covering essentials for your adventure rides, including what gear to wear, tools to carry, tire-plugging techniques, and the best emergency equipment.
Free overnight car and trailer parking is available at our Whitbread Street Training Centre for those who prefer to trailer their bikes to the start.
These tours offer new riders the ideal introduction to dirt touring and adventure riding with minimal risk, combining learning with fun and camaraderie.
The overnight stop will be in Gloucester. You can book your stay anywhere you prefer, but our staff will be staying at the Buckets Way Motel in Gloucester - see details below if you decide to book there too!
This isn't your typical course or tour; it's the best of both worlds!
This two-day adventure is a kick start to building your confidence in off road riding and a chance to build lasting friendships with other adventure riders.
Adventure is not just about the destination; it's about the journey. So, are you ready to trade the pavement for the dirt road? Join the Adventure Kick Start Tuition/Tour and let the good times roll!
