A little late on this, however I wanted to mention a CAN AM sponsored rider training class my wife and I attended last weekend
My wife asked me about a month ago if there were any training classes she could take on learning to ride the Spyder.
after a quick search I found a group called Total Control that taught the Can AM sanctioned class not to far from us in San Bernardino Ca.
and my wife Marie made her reservation .
When the day came came, Marie asked if I would drive our Spyder 2012 RT to the event. She wanted to do her training on our ride... We were met by two wonderful and experienced staff members and was told that she could use our Spyder for the riding events.
They had F3's & RT late models... After chatting a little small talk with the staff they offered to let me ride in the class if I wished to try out the newer models..
let me say... I like the newer engine and throttle response on the newer Spyders..... Ok... we will leave that topic for another post .
anyway the class room portion was a series of power point slides and discussion... it was not Death by Power Point but a lot of good basic information new riders need and a refresher for experienced riders.
During the ride portions of the class, the staff was always positive and supportive. Taking time with the students to explain or even show what the student needed correction with in their riding style.
At the end of the day, my wife was happy with her new found knowledge and skills of riding the Spyder.....
I can not express my thanks and appreciation for the professionalism and patience of the staff had with all of the students.
The course was well worth the cost $75 and the time was well spent.
