Ilya Rivkin - Instructor

My first ride on motorcycle was in 1988 when I was 14.  I ended up at the abandoned railroad tracks on my buddy‘s Honda MT 250 and I was given the lesson: Clutch, Throttle, Shifter, Brakes. Go. I never looked back.
My first bike was a 1971 Honda SL 175, put some knobbies on it and learned the ropes by beating the snot out of it off road.
My first real road bike was a 1983 Honda Shadow VT 500.  Ever since I got that Shadow, I fell in love with long distance riding. Of course first was the addition of the leather saddle bags and many an overnight stay here or there.
My last trip was 1900 miles on my Harley from Daytona, FL, through the Smokey Mountains via the Cherohala Skyway and the Tail of The Dragon. Many more adventures still to come.
