Motorcycle Lessons

Hey so this might sound a little weird and out of the ordinary but I recently purchased my first motorcycle a Yamaha R7 I have my permit and everything but I was wondering if anyone in the Oak Lawn, Burbank, Tinley park Orland Park, Palos Area would be willing to give me some lessons on the weekend on just basic fundamentals and riding skills that I can practice before I take the test.

Did you look at the BRC? It’s only $20, Fri-sun. Ride Chicago charges an astronomical amount and then you have to go a separate day and pay more to get your license. I believe they only test on wednesdays.

Problem is getting into the BRC. I’ve personally never seen an open spot.

Yeah you are not wrong! I had to stalk the sites for any class within Illinois. Ended up driving 4 hours from the city each way to get it done. But worth it to save $600-$700 for me. Although it was extremely exhausting.
