This week’s Beyond the Classroom article focuses on a common issue: A rider with a passion for motorcycles eventually quits riding due to crashes. They walk out of our industry because of the cost and pain of big mistakes. A sport they hoped would be a lifelong pursuit ends; we lose them and they lose a dream. In this week’s audio chapter, Louis Ferrari shares his story with all riders or ex-riders who struggled after a crash or two.

Ferrari drove his home-built 1,400 hp Nissan GTR down to Colorado’s Pueblo Motorsports Park to watch fellow-instructor Ryan Burke in Motorcycle Roadracing Association competition. A few years before this, he considered quitting riding but reapplied himself to core techniques to grow into an extremely competent rider and Senior YCRS instructor.
