Bakemono Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Last year the ARC wasn't offered right away. We had to keep checking back on the website. It was worth the wait and the $50 cost of admission. I will definitely take it again. I have been talking to my brother and dad about also taking the ARC.Ive read some of the ARC and it sounds great. If I ever get to the point where I feel like Im an, "experienced" rider and am an expert on a bike, Id certainly take the ARC.I feel like you can always learn something new and with all the idiot drivers we have here in Ohio, you can never be so good on a bike that your skills are complete.

JohnG Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Count me in for an OR ARC... Been wanting to take one cause, well, you never stop learning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is it common for it to be difficult to find an ARC to enroll in? The only ARC courses posted last year were at the Butler Technology& Career Development Schools in Hamilton, Ohio. A posting from last year reads: Connie14, on 27 Feb 2013 - 11:32 AM, said: I sent an email to the email address on the website. They currentlyare not planning on having an Advanced Rider Course in Columbusunless there is enough interest. Somehow the ARC was finally posted for Columbus, much later inthe season. I'm thinking in August, possibly, and only after someonecalled them. I can't find any details from last year, to show you. We'll have to express an interest earlier this year so we can getthem to offer us an ARC class. So far, the interested posters are: JackFlashTigerpawSMcCrory-Friend 1-Friend 2DizzleDanCdubyahcmh_sprintCasperConnie14-maybe his brother-maybe his dadDying ShadowBakemono (cause you know you want to)JohnG It looks to me like we have a class right there.After sign-ups open, we'll know more. If a class has to be scheduled for us, we should make sure it's far enough in advance for everyone to be able to make arrangements to attend without any problems. I think sixweeks notice should be enough. Anyone else interested in the Advanced Rider's Course? I know there are more of you out there. . .

Connie14 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Last year, I ended up sending an email and talking to a guy from Columbus State that was tied into ODPS Motorcycle Ohio. Sometime later, they ended up setting up an ARC class for May or June. I dont have my old smart phone, so I don't recall the exact dates. I just remember it was just before a motorcycle trip to NC in late June. There are almost enough people interested to fill a class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I vote for the weekend of June 21, 22 for the Advanced Rider's Course, if we have a choice. That will be two weeks after the trip to Deals Gap. Any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmh_sprint Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'll be taking it before the trip. Shake of the rust before hitting the good roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzledan Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'll be taking it before the trip. Shake of the rust before hitting the good roads.This is more ideal as well. I'd like a good shakedown before flying off the mountain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent3012 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) i'm trying to find out if i can take the arc up here. i would actually love to teach it, but i dont think anyone will respect me on the grom or zuma. An advanced riding course for scooter riders would be hilarious fun. I'd totally show up on my Vino 125. But I'd also be secretly wishing I had your Grom.

smccrory Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Jack, aren't we waiting on you to see what the options are? Not for the OSPS sponsored ones. Those go quickly, so it's in your best interest to sign up soon after the sessions are published on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 We'll know Friday morning at 8:00 AM what is being offeredas long as they post everything in a timely fashion. If anARC course is offered before the Gap trip, I'm sure some ofour guys will sign up for it. Knowing about how many are interested after that will giveme something to present as a reason for an additionalclass. I'll find out what is the minimum number of riders theywant before they will post a class and we'll beg and threatenthe rest of OR until we have enough. .

Tonik Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 None in northern Ohio. I would have at least expected some at Polaris. Their MSF program is huge, like my penis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Nothing personal, but that's too late into the season to take the course for me... I want it early so I can practice new ideas thru the season. I'm signed up for May 20 & 24. Hope it doesn't rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
