Two experienced riders contacted us with an interest in a full-day private off-road course focused on the basics. Despite thousands of kilometers driven on roads and participation in several enduro schools, they still had some doubts about driving off asphalt.
After a telephone conversation, we identified their main problems, preferred terrains and previous experiences, and then adapted the course to their needs. They had Yamaha XTZ 750 Super Ténéré and Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin motorcycles.
We chose a suitable location for them, which ensured their privacy, without disturbance and comfort, while training in a controlled environment. We advised them to keep the panniers on the motorcycles as they use them on their outings and modifying the motorcycle specifically for a course where it behaves differently would be pointless. With the help of video analysis of the ride, we gave them feedback and advised on setting up and adjusting the bikes so that they could use them to their full potential.
Due to the futility of changing to off-road tires, we left them with road tires. At the end of the day, we saw a significant improvement in their skills and riding style, which they themselves appreciated.
