Ferrell Gale 2012

Ferrell is a product of our previous RiderCoach Preparation Workshop.  In less than one year, Ferrell has jumped in with both feet to provide some of the most passionate coaching a student could receive.  Ferrell has also taken advantage of TEAM Arizona’s extensive course offerings to improve his riding immensely.  To that we say, “You rock Ferrell!”

From Ferrell’s perspective, rider training just makes sense, “You can never have enough training on a motorcycle.  It only gets better and I am amazed at the learning I am still doing after 35 some odd years of riding. I consider those who choose to seek and take motorcycle riding courses before they ride VERY SMART people!”

To those who have ridden a motorcycle for years and don’t think they need training, he says, “Never stop in your learning and improving your motorcycling skills.  It costs a little bit of money, but I know it has helped me stay alive.  Not only do the available classes pay you back for the rest of your life, they are a blast to take!!!   Each one is more fun than the last one!”

Here are some fun facts about Ferrell:

  • He saved up from working a paper route and at 12 he  bought a new 1972 Yamaha 100 Enduro and rode it all over the woods in Flagstaff.  I nick-named that bike, “The Green Hornet”.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oeeo_-5ZcI”
  • He commutes on an 07  KLR 650 and tours on an 04 Kawasaki Concourse
  • Favorite ride includes any of the switch backs around the state, like Oak Creek Canyon, or the Coronado Trail from Springerville to Morenci, AZ.

Please, take time to wish Ferrell well-deserved CONGRATULATIONS!  We here at TEAM Arizona are proud to have him as part of the family!
