The Motorcycle Industry Council’s Ride With Us Moto Intro program is a free experience for Overland Expo ticket holders interested in experiencing their first ride. Dirt bikes, riding gear, coaching, and FUN are provided.

“Dirt bikes are a ton of fun and are a great way to spend time outside with family and friends,” said Cinnamon Kernes, MIC vice president of market expansion. “With the Ride With Us Moto Intro, people can try riding in a pressure-free environment and see if they want to take the next step towards becoming a rider.  We’re excited to offer this introductory experience that allows you to try riding prior to committing to taking a class – and best of all, it’s free!”.
