"Level 3 training saved my life. From 2010- 2012 I went through a drastic change as a rider. I found myself surrounded by real professionals who were currently IN the field of motorcycles. People I trusted and respected as riders because it was obvious that they had skills that I did not. The Semper Ride program gave me those, the professionals I needed to listen and change."
