About us


Motorcycle Safety Instructor

When I was 16 years old I sneaked out with my older brother's motorcycle (an awesome Puma 90c.c. two stroke, squeaky, noisy and smelly) and my love affair with motorcycles started. I did learn how to ride motorcycles the hard way, back then was the only way, trial and error. Even at the end of the 80's when I started riding Dirt the only way to learn was to try and...err


I bought my first BMW R5 - 500cc when I was 17 years of age (against the will of my parents of course)... and I have been riding since then.

Participated in several races in Argentina and also made adventure trips in South and North America, spent several thousand of miles in every imaginable situation, snow, dirt, mud, cold, hot, from the Andes to the Rocky Mountains.

Worked as a coach for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation teaching the Dirt Rider Course (now retired).


As newcomers and come-backs alike are in need of professional safety instruction in motorcycle riding, I started this low stress class, in which I ride with the students, evaluating his riding technique and then coaching them in a relaxed environment in how to improve their riding style and safety.


This friendly and relaxed private class is the best way to either learn (or re-learn) the demanding skills to become a safe and seasoned rider.

In the class I cover the void between the Basic training of the M.R.E. and the Racing Schools, with techniques and tips geared to improve the performance and safety of you, the average person.


The best way to learn? Take a motorcycle rider course. Studies have shown that 92% of accident involved riders are either self taught or taught by friends.. Your friends are a garden of misinformation. Your instructors are a wealth of real knowledge.


Remember, always ride the road (at your own pace), not your friends!

    Emilio, Just wanted to express my thanks for the superb training on Saturday. You clearly broke down every aspect in a comprehensible way. I also wanted to ask when you would be available for one more training. Just let me know if you have a day in the near future. Thanks again,
    -John

      Emilio: I don't want to make the Ducatisti look bad so I'm working on not putting down the landing gear! I realize that I have some deeply ingrained bad habits and I appreciate your patience in helping me resolve them. Now I have to do the serious practice on my own. Like you said, it is going to take discipline.
      I really do enjoy riding the bike so I am going to commit to it. I'm sure I will have some questions as I progress so I will call you when they arise.

      Be sure to say hello if you see me out there!

      Emilio:
      The Instruction was immensely important - the little tips were fantastic and simple. But most importantly, understanding why things work, how do they work, why it is important etc. Recognizing potentially dangerous situations before they occur. Inspires confidence through knowledge of safe riding and understanding best case options in precarious situations. The statistics really helped. A must for anyone wishing to improve their riding or to modify their habits.I went thru a very detailed riding course in the UK albeit a long time ago – and what I learnt from you was more than I expected and totally necessary (for all who wish to enjoy two wheels safely). Thank you for your gift of Knowledge – I hope to serve a similar duty for mankind one day.

      Emilio:
      I would like more time on the bike with you observing my technique (shifting; braking; turning; etc.) even if it meant a second session. I specially appreciated being provided with explanations of why and how various techniques work. Like you, I firmly believe understanding makes the doing easier and better.

      Emilio:
      I just wanted to thank you for a great class on Saturday.  As you know, I haven't been on a bike for about four years, and your instruction provided me with the right things to focus on remembering and plenty of new techniques to learn.
      I look forward to enjoying the Malibu canyons with you in the near future!
      All the best,
      David
