At Safe2Ride we are inspired by the positive impact motorcycle riding can have on a person's life, including physically, mentally and spiritually.
We believe that motorcycle riding is a transport to freedom and having a lot more adventures in life. Best of all, it creates a community that can change your life and take you anywhere in the world!
Our aim is to help riders become fully prepared, confident and as safe as possible. We want to help you answer the questions: Am I safe to ride? Is my bike safe to ride? Is the track safe to ride?
MEET OUR FOUNDER
There are two things that impacted my life as a child. Motorcycle magazines inspired me to want to read and the sport of Motocross kept me focused and out of trouble as a teenager. The impact, off-road motorcycle riding has had on my life, has been nothing but positive!
After 35 years of being part of the motorcycle industry, including volunteering in clubs, working within governing bodies, riding and competing within different disciplines and running a full-time coaching business, I developed key insights into the needs of all types of recreational riders. It wasn't until a freak, life-altering, accident with a logging truck in 2018, that my awareness into the impact road trauma and PTSD can have on a person’s life came further into focus.
Safe2Ride was inspired by this accident. It made my wife and I want to create more products and services, for off-road motorcycle riders, using real tools and experiences we know make a difference.
My hope is that we will inspire you to ride more, explore more and transform the way you feel about yourself and how you live your life on and off the dirt.

WHY SAFE2RIDE?
MOTO MENTAL HEALTH
Your mind matters, not just in a helmet but out of one too!
At Safe2Ride we recognise the positive impact motorcycle riding can have on an individual’s mindset and happiness in life.
Sometimes, however, for reasons not always clear, we may need a little more support from others to help us ride the "sharper corners in life".
Our goal is to run events and provide valuable resources to help riders access support networks and content that keeps the conversation open and positive Mental Health flowing.
Some valuable resource links can be found below.
FAMILY
At the core of who we are is family.
Family can include immediate family, the motorcycle community or anyone who is passionate about living life to the fullest!
As adults, we are in a position to have a positive impact on our families and children's lives in many ways. Motorcycle riding is a positive way to bring families together, while at the same time helping children develop valuable life skills such as resilience, focus, responsibility and respect.
We love supporting families getting started or progressing on their moto journey.
COMMUNITY
Motorcycle riding brings people together.
It doesn't matter what your background is, once you're sharing the tracks with another rider the rest of the noise in the world just melts away.
Over the years we've heard many, many clients tell us that they love to ride but they have nobody to ride with.
Our aim is to provide a safe & supportive community for Safe2Ride clients to meet other like-minded riders in. We want to enable you to ride more often and meet more positive, up-and-about, like-minded riders.
LIFESTYLE
Getting off the tarmac and taking your riding off-road will add another dimension to your riding and lifestyle as a whole!
It will open up new sensations and a greater appreciation for the environment and where it can take you.
At Safe2Ride we want to open up your access to the world that riding off-road can bring.
Every motorcycle has a personality and so does every environment you find yourself in.
Join a course or tour with us today and discover how off-road riding can change your life!
