Always wanted to try roadbook navigation and motorcycle rallying but you're not ready to commit to a full-on rally adventure? Our Start 2 Roadbook - Introductory Course is the perfect way to ease into this exciting world at a comfortable pace.

Don’t worry if you don’t have roadbook equipment – we’ve got you covered! We offer a variety of roadbook setups (both paper and digital) that you can rent for the day. Just let us know, and we’ll arrange everything. In this hands-on training, we’ll guide you through the fundamentals and cover the essential topics that every beginner should know:

• How does roadbook navigation work?
• What equipment will you need, and why? How to choose between paper or digital?...
• Motorcycle choice – do you need a dedicated rally bike, or can you use your touring, all-road or enduro? (Hint: don't worry about it yet, for starters anything works just fine!)
• and many more...

Who should attend?

This course is designed for beginners and newcomers who are curious about roadbook navigation and rallying but want to start in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. It’s perfect for those who want to dip their toes into the world of rallying before jumping into something more advanced.

What to bring?

Aside from your enthusiasm and a good mood, you’ll need your motorcycle (roadworthy with registration and valid TÜV) and standard riding gear. If you already have a roadbook setup on your bike, that’s great! But if not, you can easily rent one from us. Just remember, we’ll be riding on public roads, so your bike must be street-legal and in good condition. You are responsible for ensuring this.

If your bike is equipped with roadbook navigation setup that's great, otherwise a smartphone, or tablet mounted on your bike is sufficient (preferably controllable by remote buttons). Or you can rent your navigation setup for the day. Let us know in advance what you will be using, so we can prepare to give you the best experience.
