I realize this is a short notice, but I have been talking with Marcus at the Piney Woods Motorcycle Academy in Lufkin Texas re: an advanced/refresher sidecar training class. Marcus has altered his customary schedule to permit both 1st timers and repeat students to participate. He will have classroom session on Saturday 3/19 for 1st timers, and the 2nd day, Sunday 3/20 will be range exercises for all.

For more info contact Marcus at: marcuscycleshop@aol.com

Jena & I have both completed his 1st class in the past 1-1/2 years. Depending on space, I/we are considering participating in the Sunday refresher class.
