Hi Mary Ann-
I attended the "Switzerland of Ohio" Tour led by Eric and Randy 9/30-10/1/2006. It was a fantastic learning experience and a lot of fun despite a full first day of rain! ... Your program makes a lifelong contribution to the safety of every rider who gets to experience it.
--Greg

Keep up the great work. Thanks for stayin in business. It was the best course I have taken.
-- Paul

Both the teaching and the organization are really well done, and make for a great weekend. I especially appreciate the personal skills Randy brings to the class.
-- Ron Orem

I had a great weekend!! I could feel the improvement as the weekend progressed. The road awareness was helpful. I've been using the cues when driving my car. The cam braking and slow speed 180' turn technique was good to learn. I thought I applied enough power when exiting the turns and you could have told me a thousand times to apply more power but hearing the message in real time was a break through for me. By applying the power and slightly shifting my weight you could actually feel the "whoosh effect". The headphone speakers are a great tool.
-- John

Another Stayin' Safe great ride. Thanks again for the great information and instruction. Randy and you really work hard keeping us informed and safe thanks. Pete, I wasn't quite sure if this trip was the jewel of the three trips until day two when on top of the Blue Ridge we were riding through the rain and fog; that was a special ride. But then again that's the way people from buffalo feel in bad weather; we some how enjoy it.
-- John Bugyi

I had a great time. I am still excited about all that I had learned and am promoting this to my fellow cyclists. I am a strong believer in your business and enjoyed the good times as well as the hiccups.
-- Paul

Eric and Pete,
Thank you for your caring instruction and your excellent feedback. I learned a lot and look forward to learning more from you two pros in the future. I'll sign-up for next year because you guys are so good. Remember, I'm the guy who gave a "yahoo," just like in skiing, for the first time on a motorcycle.
-- Bob

Eric -
Riding on your bike on Sunday was great. I did learn a lot. I got to feel through the seat of my pants the deceleration, turn-in, throttle on, and Whoosh! Also, I got to see just where and when you placed the bike.
-- Tim

Dear Pete and Randy,
I just want you to know how much I appreciate your coaching last weekend. I had a marvelous time and learned a lot...including another use for dishwashing gloves (Randy) and for duct tape...as a sun visor for my face mask. (Thanks Pete!) I keep hearing your voices as I ride...wonder why? Stay safe.
--Marvin Beard

Great course, excellent communicators for instructors. We can all always improve for our own safety! I feel I will / have become a safer, more skilled rider. Thanks.
-- Bob

Eric and Pete,
Thanks again for the time we spent together earlier this summer. I find that many of the things we did are now becoming a normal part of my ride. I'm leaving in the morning on a solo ride across the country to Florida. I confident it will be a great ride and a lot of time to practice my riding skills. You're names come up frequently during our Monday morning breakfasts.
-- Alan

Thank you once again for last weekend. I even find myself looking for the visual point while driving the car. :-)
-- Bill Shaw

I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time I had at our recent tour. The two instructors [Randy & Pete] were great and I very much felt I got my money's worth…I felt the instruction was top notch and well worth the price. Thank you for the experience.
--Steve McPeake

Overall, a wonderful experience -- still processing all I learned.
-- Gregg Korbon

Thank you for an informative ride. The location was beautiful in the fall season….
And… You had asked me about comparing my experience with Larry vs you…The thoughtful answer is I was pleased with the way you handled things. The material, by design, is the same whether it is OH or VA. Larry had a different style but, I would be frightened by a clone.
--Paul A. Good

Comments about Training Tours

Taking the course in the rain was excellent (like training for a race with weights in the backpack). The sunny days before and after were equally fun, though not so valuable.
- David H, WV/Switzerland of OH

Thanks for a wonderful three days of "neo-Alpine touring." I rode with my husband yesterday, and he says I'm a lot more fun to ride with!
- Linda G, Safe in the Smokies

I suspected there was a whole different dimension to road riding, not obvious to the casual observer, and this confirmed it.
- Bruce D, Shenandoah/Blue Ridge

It was a treat to sit down with RIDER when I got home and recognize and understand many points in your column. Thanks again for a great course.
- Gary T, Wisconsin Back Roads

The group was abuzz with delight about the care and concern you have for your students and the attention to detail with which your trips are run.
- Joe B, Pyrenees/Spain

I always suspected that I wasn’t looking far enough up the road - I just didn’t know what it was I was supposed to be looking for. Now, after taking the course, I feel like I know what that is.
- Cleon W, California Dreamin’

Comments about Private Instruction

Like most riders, I get a kick out of buying a new gadget for the bike or some really spiffy riding gear, but you know, I have gotten more value and enhanced pleasure out of the money invested in lessons than all the other suff combined. I wonder if the word is really out in the motorcycle world about the great dividends in terms of safety and fun that some time and money devoted to high quality instruction can return to the rider.
