(NewsUSA) - Are you curious about motorcycles but have never had a chance to ride? Those interested can enjoy a unique opportunity in Las Vegas on November 3 starting at noon at SEMA Fest. For the first time ever, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), is hosting an event open to the public following the SEMA Show, a premier trade event for the automotive industry.

SEMA Fest is a celebration of music, motorsports, and car culture, and SEMA Fest attendees are welcome to experience the Motorcycle Industry Council’s Ride With Us Moto Intro at no additional cost. The motorcycles, safety gear, and coaches are provided for this first-class, first-ride experience so that participants can get a taste of the joys of motorcycling in a supportive and controlled environment.

“Ride With Us inspires potential riders to take the next step to becoming a licensed motorcyclist,” said Cinnamon Kernes, MIC’s vice president of market expansion. “The entire experience — from sign-in to actually riding, with high-fives, and huge smiles — takes about 20 minutes. Many people are amazed at how approachable motorcycle riding can be.”

During the Ride With Us Moto Intro experience, each rider is paired up with a Motorcycle Safety Foundation-certified coach who accompanies them every step of the way, allowing the new riders to go at their own pace.

Ride With Us Moto Intros help people who have never ridden a motorcycle get their first taste of being behind the handlebars, operating the throttle, clutch, and steering. For many, this event may be the first step into the larger world of motorcycle riding.

“At the end, you will be able to start, stop, and ride around our course with confidence,” Kernes says.

The Moto Intro experience will also be at the SEMA Show, October 31 to November 2, and is free for all show attendees. The general public is invited to participate at SEMA Fest on November 3. Tickets for SEMA Fest can be purchased at www.semafest.com.

The Ride With Us Moto Intro experience will take place at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds during SEMA Fest and at the Las Vegas Convention Center during SEMA Show.
