perception to identify collision traps. On-cycle range exercises provide practice in cornering,
braking and swerving. There is no skill test in this course.

Sharpen your slow riding skills and you will greatly improve your overall skills.
Why pay $400+ for their Civilian Top Gun class? The ABATE Motorcycle Skillz Training, as developed and presented by former police motor officer/trainer Don "Top" Gunn, concentrates on the low-speed maneuvers taught to police officers, for the purposes of increasing riding proficiency as well as confidence. Learn to operate a motorcycle at its limits, with emphasis on turning in the smallest area, use of transmission, clutch and brakes for the highest level of control, and practice maximum braking and brake-and-escape maneuvers. Smaller-sized training bikes are used the first day of this two-day course; students are encouraged to use their own (safe, street-legal) bike on the second day.
