About Us

Stayin’ Safe pioneered on-street rider coaching in the U.S. and was developed to introduce advanced “road reading” techniques in real-world environments. Refined over more than two decades, the Stayin’ Safe method combines highly enjoyable motorcycle tours and proven street strategies with real-time coaching techniques for an incomparable experience. Running continuously since 1993, Stayin’ Safe has worked with hundreds of riders, many of whom have described the Stayin’ Safe experience as nothing short of revolutionary to their riding.

 

It all began with “Mr. Safety”

Larry Grodsky was widely recognized as the leading motorcycle safety expert in the country. A long-term MSF instructor and site coordinator, Larry had been involved in motorcycle safety instruction since 1980 and trained an estimated 5,000 riders. Much of his work was devoted to creating the Stayin’ Safe Motorcycle Training program. Larry’s unique program set the standard for on-street, real-world training and continues to be recognized as the premier on-street training program in the United States. His incisive column, “Stayin’ Safe”, was a mainstay in Rider Magazine since 1988. Unfortunately, the riding world lost Larry Grodsky in the Spring of 2006. His legacy survives in today’s Stayin’ Safe program.

 

Today’s Stayin’ Safe

Today, Stayin’ Safe is owned by Eric Trow, veteran Stayin’ Safe instructor, author of Rider Magazine’s monthly “Riding Well” motorcycling proficiency column and recipient of the AMA Outstanding Road Rider Award. The Stayin’ Safe program is operated in locations around the U.S. by Trow and a team of highly-qualified on-street instructors certified in the Stayin’ Safe method. Running for more than 20 consecutive years, today’s program remains true to Grodsky’s vision while also introducing new and expanded content designed to benefit more riders in more locations around the country.
