Tidewater motorcycle safety course
Has anyone taken this course and perhaps could tell me where it is. I called and left a voicemail,sent an email and still haven't been contacted back. Their people skills suck,I registered a few months back and there was never an email or anything containing directions to the Portsmouth location.
Any help is well appreciated.

Re: Tidewater motorcycle safety course
Bayside Harley is where the class is. I took it last year in May. Very informative and, despite what some may say, low speed manuevering can test your riding skill level. Good class. I'd make sure of the date that you signed up for and make sure you're there that Friday night at 6-they have a checklist of the people that are slotted for the AM/PM classes. Hope this helps.

Re: Tidewater motorcycle safety course
Yes see I have class this week. But I can not remember if I signed up for the 2 or 3 day class. I guess Ill keep leaving messages.
Is Bayside Harley where the "class" takes place? It says on the site that the riding location is in Portsmouth?

Re: Tidewater motorcycle safety course
Yeah the course takes place at bayside harley-davidson in portsmouth ( Heres the address and phone number---2211 Frederick Boulevard Portsmouth, VA 23704. office-757 397-5550. I took the course awhile back and it is definitely worth it. If they wont reply the best thing to do is go up there in person and talk to the instructors. They are there friday nights and most of the day on the weekend. Good luck

Re: Tidewater motorcycle safety course
What size bikes do they use for this course? I was trying to enroll but the classes were booked. Also has anyone used this course to get their license?

Re: Tidewater motorcycle safety course
They use a variety of bikes. I took mine at TCC Chesapeake and it was mostly Honda Rebels, but they had some Nighthawks and DRZ400's. I took the course and got my endorsement that way. Now I'm steady recklessy displaying my retardation in my wifebeat and Tim's. Ask Reloaded, he knows all about it.
