![]() | Mike Albrecht mikealbrecht@motorcycletrainingacademy.com Michael started riding motorcycles in 1990. He became a RiderCoach in late-2009 to help introduce others to the fundamentals of motorcycling so they may become safe and responsible motorcyclists. Michael rides a 2009 Harley Davidson Road King (FLHR) hard-bagger. He puts over 15,000 miles per year on his motorcycle. As a result, he considers himself a 'motorcycle enthusiast' as opposed to a 'biker.' He enjoys all aspects of motorcycling; cruising around town, running errands, weekend jaunts, long distance touring, even the daily commute. Michael's next motorcycle purchase is a BMW F800 GS dual-purpose motorcycle so he can explore Colorado's extensive backcountry trail network. |

![]() | Tracy Ayars tracyayars@motorcycletrainingacademy.com I started on a dirtbike when I was about 12 years old, by the age of 19 or so I started riding sportbikes, the last couple I've owned were a Ninja ZX10r and a Yamaha R1. Next one will most likely be a V-twin RC51. I became a RiderCoach around 2000, taught for about 6 years and took 4 years off and just started back up in 2010. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I got back on the range. I really enjoy helping people learn how to ride and ride safer. MTA is a great company that really cares! |

![]() | Rick Deaton info@motorcycletrainingacademy.com I started at 8 yrs old riding dirtbikes and atvs. At the age of 24 I bought my first Harley Davidson Sportster which is what I currently ride. At first I only rode on the weekends, but now it has progressed to 6 days a week. I enjoy getting on my bike and taking a road trip wherever the gas tank will allow me to go. Safety remains the top priority for me, which drove me to become a safety instructor. I enjoy coaching and learning from others and wish to share the motorcycle passion with everyone. |

![]() | Brenda Netterville brenda@motorcycletrainingacademy.com Brenda began her love for motorcycles when her father-in-law bought a small “Trail 90”. The motorcycle bug bit her bad and she and husband Floyd both started racing dirt bikes. She won numerous trophies for hare scrambles, enduros and motorcross (all of which are in boxes in the attic because it is more fun now to be riding her ’07 Suzuki V-Strom 650 than dusting). For a few short years she rode behind Floyd on various Goldwings, but it didn’t take long until she was back on her own bike, where she has remained. She is a Life member of the American Motorcycle Association, a full member of Women on Wheels and a member of the Goldwing Road Riders Association local chapter (where she held the offices of newsletter editor, secretary & treasurer). Brenda became a MSF Instructor in 2000 and later updated to RiderCoach. She is a legal secretary in McComb, MS, and organist at her church. Her main hobby is riding her V-Strom, whether short rides to work and church, or on vacations and long weekends to other states. Brenda is a RiderCoach who shares her love of motorcycling with students through coaching and making the students smile. |

![]() | Jeromy Williamson jeromywill@motorcycletrainingacademy.com I grew up in Colorado and have been riding on the dirt since I was 4 years old (34 years ago). I started racing about 7 years ago and was ranked 8th nationally in the AMA Western Hare Scrambles Open B class in 2008. For 2010 I will contest the Open A class for the WeBe Hare Scrambles series. Current dirt ride is a 07 KTM300XC. My current street bike is a 2006 Suzuki VStrom 1000. This bike does it all. I have taken the Military SportBike RiderCourse on it as well as tackled some jeep trails around Canyon City. If the weather is above 35 and dry, I am riding. I became a RiderCoach in April 2009 because I have taken multiple BRCs, and ERCs and every time I did the coaches were having so much fun. I wanted to have that much fun too. It is pure joy to be able to teach people of all skill levels how to ride. I think it is a privilege to be able to do what we do, and I know that we are creating safer more responsible riders. |
