About Us

Finding Excitement in Every Curve

On the Road

Our Story

Upper Cumberland Motorcycle Training was founded in 2018. We provide motorcycle rider education as a life-saving public service. 

  • RiderCoaches for the program are all experienced motorcycle operators, certified nationally by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, and are ready to help you experience the many joys of motorcycling. We strive to deliver a safe, fun, and consistent motorcycling experience to riders of all skill levels. 

  • You will learn to ride using our motorcycles, on a safe closed circuit course. Our motorcycles are small and lightweight, so you can concentrate on learning the skills of safe riding and then transfer those skills to your own bike.

  • Our courses are presented in cooperation with the Tennessee State Motorcycle Safety Program and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Participants can experience motorcycling to improve their riding skills through education programs: (Basic RiderCourse / BRC or the Experienced RiderCourse / ERC).
