WE RUN RAIN OR SHINE

There is always something to learn, on a wet or dry track. FAST courses will not be cancelled due to wet track conditions. However, track sessions may be delayed if heavy rain is present.


If the track is (or becomes) flooded because of very severe conditions, FAST Riding School might reschedule the course at a later date.

FOR All of OUR FAST
ADVANCED RIDING COURSES (PHASES)

If you are using one of our motorcycles, your package includes all the necessary riding gear. If you are riding your own bike, our top quality safety gear is still available to you for a small fee.
