This workshop is designed to help you make the necessary adjustments to your riding positons and to your bike to optimize your personal efficiency and comfort of riding your motorcycle in all conditions.

To achieve this, I'll be covering different riding styles or positions on different bikes in differing conditons along with what needs to be changed to ergonomically fit your bike to you.  Also, I'll cover the most common neck, back and wrist problems I see and what you can do to ride comfortably.

Riding Positions will include optimal positions for street, sport, toruing, racing and dirt or dual sport riding.  Which positions produce optimum performance and which get riders into trouble along with which causes the most pain and what to do about it.  I'll demonstate on a couple of very different bikes, a sport bike and an upright dual sport bike.  That way I can demonstrate the range of rding positions and the range of ergonomic adjustments you can do to your bike. Find out how certain riding styles and poor bike setup can be hazardous and how to solve them. The end result is you being more comfortable on your bike with less fatigue and having more fun!

The ergonomics part of this workshop will cover how to adjust your bike to your body and style of riding. The ergonomics of different bike types and body types will be addressed and participants will have a working knowledge of what do do with their bikes adjustments.Optimize your bike for your riding style.  Adjusting levers, foot controls, handlber bar placements

I'll also cover exercises and stretches for you neck, back and wrists.
 
After the talk and demonstrations, etc we'll go downstairs where you'll get on your bike and I'll coach you on body position and make suggestions on the ergonomics of your motorcycle.

Ride street, ride track, ride dirt, trials.....ride.....well!

Doc, this sounds awesome and is something I'd really like to do! Unforunatley, I have to work on friday nights so there's no way I can make it  :-\.

Please post again for this in the future and maybe I can make it next time!

Thanks!

Friday is perfect for me, but I live in Norway.

This is a great offer though - any chance some of your advice and knowledge will be available online? I'm a personal trainer and biker, so this is very interesting.

the good Doc gives free clinics here in the Bay Area, specifically Redwood City

here is a link to upcoming clinics, usually given on Sunday mornings, with a ride to implement/practice topics covered
