MATC OFFERS MOTORCYCLE SAFETY CLASSES
2007 A Deadly Year on the Road

Our warm weather, combined with high gas prices, has many folks hopping on their motorcycles. However, it might be a good idea to spruce-up riding skills before taking a road trip.

The Department of Transportation says 106 people were killed, and more than 2,600 injured in Wisconsin motorcycle accidents last year.

Madison Area Technical College offers a number of motorcycle safety classes that are approved by the state and certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The classes, which run through October, are designed for both the beginner and experienced rider.

To learn more about MATC’s Motorcycle Safety Program, call 608-246-5257. See recent stories on Channel 15 and Channel 27.
