Stop Saying Some Day; Get Going Today Seminar - Meet Kassie Ranchie

Kassie wanted to ride since she was old enough to ride a bicycle, but had to overcome her fears and nervousness, which she did with the experienced guidance of Bob at Open Road Driver Training.  She says "without him, I'd still be sitting on the sidelines wishing I was one of you. Seven years have gone by … I now ride with ease and safety, enjoying the feeling of rapture and freedom that you can only achieve by riding a motorcycle. One thing to add … the lessons you learn when you take a motorcycle course, crosses over into your day to day driving skills … you become a much better driver for it."
Come and hear more about Kassie's experiences on her bike at the Meet the Women Of Motorcycling event in the Virgin Lounge.
