The inaugural Yamaha Champions Riding School at Miller Motorsports Park concluded Thursday afternoon, June 4. The graduates of the school’s first class were greatly improved and more confident riders than when they arrived Wednesday morning.
"These past two days have made such a difference in my riding," said first-time student Doug Thayer. "I have been to riding schools, had one-on-one days with instructors and read a lot of information about riding, but these guys made it easier to understand and put to use. I was able to improve so much because of what this school and its staff have done with me over just two days."
But Doug was not ready to leave just yet as he asked, "Can we just keep going and make this a three-day school?"
Each student was able to improve dramatically over the course of the school and worked hard to improve their skills and abilities.
"I can't believe how worn out I am," said Yamaha Motor Corporation District Manager Ryan Montgomery. "This school has taught me so much in such a short period of time. I am riding better than I ever have and more consistently than ever."
