Does anyone have any experience with Evergreen Motorcycle Training? They are unusually easy for me to get to.

http://evergreenmotorcycletraining.org

I'm thinking about using them to get my sidecar/trike endorsement. I may also sign up for a two-wheeler class too if it ends up being any good.

Washington uses independent contractors to provide rider education. Quality can vary significantly between sites. Evergreen Safety Council is the only source of sidecar/trike rider training, at least in the PNW. From the site it looks like Evergreen Motorcycle Training is related if not the same group.

You'll probably have a great time and learn lots. Take the classes and report back what you experienced!

Once you fly the chair high enough to hit steering reversion it steers and handles like a very lopsided two wheeler. :v:

Trip report: Evergreen S/TEP training is pretty awesome. They had a Ural I could putter around on which was great. I found that getting the tub off the ground and keeping it steady was pretty hard - now I need to get one and practice my flying :angel:

One of us, etc..

Glad you had a good time! If you have some time, give DMC Sidecars a call and see if they have any rigs for you to check out. They're down in Enumclaw and make good stuff: http://www.dmcsidecars.com/ .

It was a glorious day to get out and about. Grabbed the solo bike and did this loop:

Found a straight stretch to remove layers and drink water:



Still a little early for some roads.



Managed to hit 50 MPG and found out how rusty I am from only commuting the past many months. Gonna rectify that!

Took my wife in the hack out to the coast earlier today. Went to Cannon Beach. Glorious weather and the hack is running well. Melted a tiny bit more of my riding pants but I've got a new heat shield coming that should fix that. The new exhaust is so much quieter than the old TORs, fits my old man image far better.

Saw lots of riders out with full leathers.
