MotoDNA help women take to the road

By Simon HottonOver the past few years Australian roads have seen a steady influx of motorcyclists, with both men and women trading in four wheels for two. The benefits of improved fuel economy, the ability  to avoid traffic congestion, and the image of freedom and rebellion are all contributing factors to the steady increase of motorcycles on Australian roads.In order to improve motorcyclists' safety MotoDNA Motorcycle Academy have put together a comprehensive range of training courses that aim to improve rider safety and increase a rider's skill set. MotoDNA business development manager Dean Johnston said  'Unfortunately over fifty per cent of motorcycle fatalities are single vehicle accidents, effectively motorcyclist are killing themselves.' Due to this, road safety courses have become very popular, especially with the young and inexperienced. Unfortunately up until now the female demographic has been widely ignored. The team at MotoDNA Motorcycle Academy have constructed a course that is specifically designed for women. With all classes held by world renowned motorcycle specialists, the training aims to teach cornerstone skills such as braking, cornering and vision techniques- all skills that improve a rider's safety on the road.Classes are held at the Lakeside Park, a circuit that cuts through grassland along the shores of Lake Kurwongbah, and is situated 30 kilometres north of Brisbane. For all those interested in improving their motorcycle road safety, from the  young and inexperienced to veteran riders, please see MotoDNA Motorcycle Academy website, www.motodna.com.au.
