UPDATE: SORRY but AltRider will NOT be in attendance!  At this stage we are too busy with product development and our European expansion.

Enjoy the Progressive International Motorcycle Show tour as it comes to Chicagoland!

The upcoming tour will have an increased focus on bringing more manufacturers and an engaging show experience to the widest audience of enthusiasts across the country. Motorcycle riders and powersports fans from coast to coast will have the opportunity to experience hundreds of new street bikes, dirt bikes, cruisers, scooters, ATVs, UTVs and more.

The nation’s largest touring motorcycle event will also connect riders with products and services that support their motorcycling lifestyle, providing the opportunity to see, touch and try on the latest gear and accessories. This nationwide series will also feature new interactive entertainment, as well as educational experiences designed for all types of riders.

Jimmy Lewis Off-Road Training will be offering riding instruction both prior to and after AltRider's Taste of Dakar Weekend.

The Friday class will be custom tailored for riders who have never been in the dirt or are still apprehensive about riding in off-road conditions. Or maybe you are looking for a confidence booster before the ride -- you won't be disappointed in our one-day skills course.

On Monday and Tuesday following the event, JLR Off-Road will have a two-day advanced skills training tailored just for the big adventure bikes, including some great and little known riding opportunities in the Nevada desert.

Full descriptions and costs are available at JLROffRoad.com.

Days of riding through the desert dunes, wakes of sand thrashed back by the churning tires. The merciless sun beating down as the riders race to the end… perhaps not to win, but just to finish.

Most of us will never race the Dakar, but this February 24-26, you will have the opportunity to travel with other adventure riders to an American desert and train with the only US citizen to podium finish at Dakar: Jimmy Lewis.

Training at the Jimmy Lewis Off Road Academy will be made available only to our riders on Friday and Monday at a special discounted rate.
