ALBERT GAMMER'S FEEDBACK FROM MARULAN NOVEMBER COURSES
"...I attended the Level 1 & 2 courses at Marulan and I must say that Bernie, George and Pav are magicians! I have never felt so comfortable after their instruction and the confidence they gave me was absolutely unbelievable. I am still smiling and cannot believe that after only 2 days of instruction I am wanting to ride so much. ........you gave me so much personal attention, I will definately be attending any course that you guys run as not only did my confidence sky-rocket, it was also a heap of fun to hang out with you guys and I can't wait for the next course. I will be telling all my riding friends that they must attend your courses."
* At The Farm we hold One-on-One tuition for riders on Levels 1 to 6.
It is 8 x 15 minute private ride sessions on the track with the trainer, followed by a 15 minute de-brief after each ride. Only 8 riders on the day. Riders must have completed a Level 1 course with Top Rider.
"THE FARM"
Awesome!, This rivals Phillip Island! “The Farm” is hidden amongst the prettiest country side you have ever seen and only one hour north of Sydney. It has over 30 turns, up and down dale ,5 kms of great combinations on a brilliantly prepared surface, you really have to pinch yourself and ask “have I gone to heaven, is this a dream come true?”
PS It’s is only a stone’s throw from the famous Hunter Valley wineries

MARULAN TRACK
Marulan Driver Training Centre is only one and half hours south of the busy city of Sydney. This circuit will not intimidate yet offer you all you need to put together Bernie’s personal systems. There is a lovely air-conditioned classroom, kiosk and brilliantly clean facilities.
Why not book in to one of Bernie’s courses and stay for a track day the next day so you can get some practice in with your new tool box of skills - you may even be able to book a personal one to one session if Bernie is available!

BROADFORD TRACK
Broadford is located approx one hour north of Melbourne. The track layout is well suited for our training and allows for on the spot training, with rises and falls and good combinations that will suit all levels.

What is advanced motorcycling?
Basically it means advancing things on from your current level, whatever that level may be. Personal goals can be identified and a plan developed.
You may be an experienced rider with years of riding, yet have never had any form of training. Advanced training will confirm if you have the right systems and explain why you use them. It will also offer you new skills and a system of control to help you establish life-saving skills.
How It Works
Part of the reason for the program's success is the dynamic classroom training, which includes both theory and application of the techniques. By including a basic analysis of vehicular dynamics, riders get a clear understanding of how their actions affect their bikes. This is supported by Bernie’s unparallel skills as a racer, motorcycle mechanic, sports coach and trainer.
Each of the skills taught are individually broken down and practiced. Working on only one skill at a time is the fastest way to make consistent riding improvements. The beauty of doing it this way is that the student is never asked to make a huge "leap of faith" in any one area. Each skill is built up in small increments until the desired result is achieved. This allows for high confidence and never gets too scary. Combined with a strategic "building block" formula for integrating the individual skills into a complete riding package, the Advanced Motorcycle Training Course enables riders to learn faster and easier than ever before.
