We attended the S/TEP course at the Pineywoods Motorcycle Academy instructed by Marcus Renfroe in Lufkin, Texas to encourage new sidecarists Paula & Hugh and aspiring sidecarists Brad & Christine. The 2nd day of range exercises began early on a muggy East Texas morning.
The first lesson of the day was to Brad & Paula: Don't forget to bring your ride the course

After they found their ride, Marcus gave instructions and bits of wisdom to Jena, Paula, Brad, Christine & Hugh:
