+__TOC__
+Of all the things we do here at N250RC, encouraging rider training is one of the most important. Rider education is the single best mod because what you learn transfers from one bike to another. The basic lessons do not change from bike to bike, only the application in context. Whenever you switch to another bike, there is always a period where you are becoming familiar with that bike's intricacies, but the core concepts do not change.
