• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Safety Course near Austin Texas?

Hi,

I am a disabled rider who just purchased a Can-am. In order to get a motorcycle license you have to take a safety course here in Texas. Well, most are not setup for trikes. I have called DPS, and they just point me to their website to call Goldwing riders club and one other place. Well I have done that leaving a message two days ago, and have not heard back. Does anyone know where one can take a safety course near Austin TX?

Thanks,
Mark
 
Thanks everyone

Thank you for welcoming me, and suggestions. It makes one feel welcome. I have learned a lot from this site prior to my purchase.

Finding a trike safety course is hard, so far. I have sent a bunch of emails out to various trainers. The one in Hutto does not do trikes. So far the closest is Dallas or Houston. Long ways to transport a bike. I did get the email and phone number to contact the head honcho for the state of Texas in charge of the safety course. I got it from Jon at totalrider. He suggested I call/email so they (state of Texas) knows my problem.

Thanks again.

Mark
 
Mark,

My wife and I are new to the Can-Am as well and I was doing research and came across these folks in San Antonio.

Supposedly they have a DPS approved three wheeler course.

We are also in Austin and was hoping to find something locally. Have you had any luck?

I will be contacting them shortly to get the details.

Hope that helps.

Mitch :)

I took the motorcycle safety in San Antonio at "The Motorcycle School", themotorcycleschool.com. In March, they were talking about buying a spyder to include it in their course.
Welcome And good luck with your hunt. :welcome:
 
3-wheeler course in San Antonio

I am signed up to take the next course at www.swmotorcycletraining.com. They have that course the third Sunday of each month for $195. Call 210-0623-8330 to schedule. Not on the online calendar. They use Spyder for demonstrating the exercises. Maybe I'll see you there.:welcome:
