Motorcycle training camps, events, or seminars are useful for riders of any skill level. It never hurts to fine-tune one's skill, after all. But beyond that, they're also a lot of fun. Dainese is taking this indisputable fact and sweetening the deal with some incredible locations and staff for its upcoming Riding Master events. One is planned for June at the Franciacorta International Circuit in Italy and another, the Dainese Expedition Masters, will take place in July in Iceland.

The June 29 event at Franciacorta will be the same structure as the inaugural event held back in April. That means instructors from the VR46 Academy, classes for riders ranging from novice to semi-pro, and the chance for some to circle the track alongside Valentino Rossi. Dainese pulled out all the stops for its first Riding Master course at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, making for what looks to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The brand put together a highlight reel of the weekend, which you can see below.
Riders interested in the course at Franciacorta can choose from Safety 1 and 2 level classes, which are designed for new riders who could benefit from improving on the basics. There are also Racing 1 and Racing 2 classes planned. Racing 1 is geared toward riders who have zero track experience, teaching them the fundamentals of track riding. Racing 2 is for more advanced riders looking to improve the finer elements. Riders signing on for Safety 1 classes will be supplied a Yamaha YBR 125 or 250, though riders in all other classes will need to bring their own bike. Prices range from $179 for the Safety 1 course up to $649 for the Racing 2 course.
The Expedition Masters event in Iceland, running July 27 to August 4, is a much more significant cost at $7,299. But for that you get nine days of guided adventure riding across some of the most incredible landscape on the planet. You also get a fully outfitted BMW R 1250 GS HP rental bike to ride and a head-to-toe gear set which you get to take home with you. Guides will provide instruction on some key techniques along the way and professional video and photo services will be provided.
