New Class Offerings!

Mark's son plays football for Campbell University and he plans to attend those games, as a good father should.  ;-)  Now that the Campbell University football schedule is available, we've announced more dates for your favorite MotoMark1 classes. We've added NINE more Precision Maneuvering Classes as well as one more Dirt Bike and Adventure Off-road class. You can check out the new schedule HERE.

But wait, there's more!   We're still in the process of developing several new offerings.  Firstly, we've come up with a course called the Basic Overland Confidence Course.  This course is for all those with those dual purpose bikes that want to learn how to get the most out of their motorcycles.  It will include a day of street skills and a day of off-road skills.  It will be based out of Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge in Stecoah, NC in the heart of the beautiful Smokey Mountains. This is a gorgeous area with plenty to see and lots of amazing roads including Deals Gap (aka The Dragon) and the Cherahola Skyway along with lots of great dirt/fire roads to explore.  We hope to run our first Basic Overland Confidence Course in July, so keep an eye out for more information as July gets closer.

Also, we're developing three half day seminars.  These seminars will highlight specific skills and will include classroom as well as driving work.  The seminars are four hours long and will be offered beginning in August.   They will include Curve skills, Two-up riding, and Braking/Crash avoidance.  We'll use the morning hours during the hot season and the afternoon hours when it starts to cool off.  If you want to work on a specific skill set or have limited time, these seminars will fit the ticket!

Always remember to DRIVE on Purpose!

We're now in Burlington!!

MotoMark1 has found a home in Burlington, NC. Our new address is 2727 Tucker St Ext., Burlington, NC 27215. We plan to have our first inaugural Precision Maneuvering class on March 31st. We will hold all of our street classes here and we have much more planned! We've been working hard to find just the right spot and we're still getting moved in and set up. We spent some time getting a course painted in and ready for classes.

Since Mark has retired from the State Highway Patrol, he has been going full steam ahead. We're planning lots of new things for the future including expanding our classes and attending more special events. We're holding special training for corporations at their site. Think your company might be interested? Let Mark know and he can set it up!


We have big news coming as we team up with Triumph Motorcycles to offer a new training tour. Details are being worked out, but this looks to be something special for Triumph and MotoMark1! Mark already has his new Triumph Explorer all decked out and ready to go.

Remember...always DRIVE on purpose!

Triumph Motorcycle for MotoMark1

I have some more good news. MotoMark1 was selected by Triumph Motorcycle Company to drive, test and evaluate the Tiger XC. We will be using it in all of our training, dirt, street and other classes. We will be taking photos and video to share with you and Triumph.

I need to say a BIG THANKS to Jordan and Kristi at Ray Price Triumph for taking delivery, setting the bike up and helping MotoMark1 get ready for this awesome opportunity.

Here is a picture of the new Triumph Tiger XC. MotoMark1 picked this up from Ray Price Triumph on Friday evening. This is a picture of Kristi and Jordan of Ray Price Triumph and Mark of MotoMark1. After some time on the Tiger I can describe it in two words... SMOOTH and SOLID!! Stay tuned :-)

The first of things to come...

It's official I have retired from the Highway Patrol!! We are pushing MotoMark1 full speed ahead in 2012.

1. We are offering Private One to One Instruction during the week, not just weekends. This is our "Advanced Street Skills by appointment only. We use Instructor to student radio communications and HD Digital recording camera.

2. We are also allowing students to bring their spouse or significant other with them to class this year. This will help keep them motivated and will allow them to do something together instead of spending the day a part.

This is just the beginning, MM1 will have more news to come so please keep checking in. Thanks, Mark
