GRAND TEST RIDE : Bridging Safety and Thrill

Motorcycles offer an exciting ride, but freedom demands responsibility – and safety. This year, LIFESTYLE ON WHEELS, MOTOTOWNE, and BRIDGETOWNE DESTINATION ESTATES are bridging the gap with the #SafeRideXperience. Riders can receive expert assessments and enjoy a controlled riding environment at the GRAND TEST RIDE, reducing #OneLessKamote on the road. It’s an opportunity to gear up for a safe and thrilling adventure.

The GRAND TEST RIDE is a planned culmination activity rooted in motoring economic response, journey, and safety. It began as featured content and a pocket activity in 2021 when the pandemic shut down the economy. Motorcycles became economic movers, significantly helping riders to #BounceBackThroughMobility. As many motorcycle owners capitalized on their rides as a main source of income, their bikes also became their companions for leisure travel, promoting motorcycle tourism and the #SafeRideJourney. Recognizing the importance of safe riding, partnerships with riding schools and institutions were formed to create a collaborative effort for a #SafeRideXperience. With contributions from different partner riding schools in creating a safe environment for motorists, the focus on #PracticeWhatWeTeach became the goal of every safety school advocate. This dedication has led to the culmination in The GRAND TEST RIDE.

This initiative aims to bridge the gap between excitement and safety, prioritizing the well-being of riders. Here’s what participants can expect:

Gear Up Smarts Before hitting the track, experts from Ride Academy and MotorClyde Training Center, along with safety experts from motorcycle brands’ riding academies and safety departments, will assess riders on the right gear to wear, how to ride safely, and how to navigate the streets like a pro.

Stress-Free Spin Participants can take a stress-free spin on a specially designed course – on-road, off-road, or both. They can feel the power and handling of different motorcycles in a safe zone.

Trained Instructors by Their Side Throughout the test ride, experienced instructors will be present to provide guidance and ensure riders’ comfort and safety.

By bridging the gap between knowledge and experience, the GRAND TEST RIDE goes beyond basic safety. It’s an opportunity for participants to rationally choose the bike that is perfect for them. Additionally, they can gain insights into adding restrictions for their current license and driver’s license application for new ones while testing their preferred bikes.

Experience the Latest Models Participants can get behind the wheel (or handlebars!) of the newest motorcycles from top manufacturers. They can feel the power, handling, and technological advancements firsthand, with the presence of partner driving and riding schools.
