October 28, 20232 yr A good friend who lives in Buriram caved in to pressure and bought his 15 year old son a new Yamaha Aerox. The boy is a good kid and generally responsible but the dad is worried. I had already been driving motorcycles for 25 years when I took a MSF weekend rider training course. Not that there was anything I could learn that I didn't already know but because completion of the course entitled me to a significant insurance discount. Boy, did I get a surprise. Turned out, most of what I "knew", was wrong! Proper braking, line projection, steering...every facet of riding was relearned that weekend. It disturbed me enough that I later took a racing course just to hone my skills even more. I told my friend about this and he agreed something similar would be best for his son. I know Yamaha has some sort of training course at their headquarters off the BangNa-Trad Hi-way. Do any here know of any other well run rider safety courses available? Any associated with the Buriram race track? Has anybody here ever taken a local riding course?
October 28, 20232 yr Local dealers are all trained from Headquater at YRA, I know Honda gives them for free with bike purchase, best ask the dealer if they have that locally anyway he'll need a licence course, which is 2-3 days there's also basic course you can do before or after

Until then he's limited to no more than 110cc.
