Parents and children enjoy motorcycles
This is a Motorcycle School designed to help children learn the importance of rules and manners through motorcycle experiences while interacting with them. Fathers and mothers act as teachers, enjoying the time with their children and conveying various things to them. Even children who are initially not confident with motorcycles can safely enjoy riding with advice from their parents and support from experienced instructors.
Through motorcycles, feel your child's growth and enjoy wonderful time together as a family.
