My impression of "Freedom on the Open Road," I have mixed feelings. Overall, I'd say the information imparted was valuable. It is a fair refresher/supplement to the MSF Rider Courses. However, I feel more tactics could have been covered with fewer instances of information repetition by the voiceover narrator and instructor. I understand that repetition aids retention, but this is not live instruction. The nature of a DVD allows for revisiting salient points, as needed.
Nevertheless, there are precious few DVDs of this genre available. If you ride, I recommend seeking MSF courses near you. Follow-up with, "Freedom on the Open Road" by Gasper Trama to reinforce your training. I do not suggest this disc as a rider's sole source of instruction.
Ride Smart. Ride Safe.
Freedom on the Open Road--Motorcycle Training provides an introduction to a few fundamental skills involved in safe motorcycle riding. While worthwhile viewing, the program is only an elementary introduction to the topic. The DVD is not a substitute for actual professional instruction and practice.
I learned more that a few new thing from this tape, it is one that should be watched
