Pillion Course
The club is putting an offroad pillion course together on Sat 24 Jul. It will be an all day course in Stellenbosch, presented by Johan - JdJ.
The event has been prompted by the Wild Coast trip which is a challenging tour and there are quite a few brand new bikes going (with riders and pillions attached to their computers).
Cost per couple will be :
- Paid Up Members - R250
- Non Members - R 300
First come first served with preference given to those going on the Wild Coast tour in August.
This course is ideal for improving rider/pillion confidence. You will learn how to:
- mount and dismount easily and effortlessly
- control the bike as a team when doing slow manoeuvres
- sit and stand on the bike optimally
- accelerate and decelerate while standing
- execute emergency braking while riding off-road
For the rider, it is a revision of the 'Intro to Offroad' riding skills (this time with pillion), and for the pillion, it is an introduction to being part of the team rather than an add-on.
