Meet Coach Daniel Strange!
Daniel grew up in Virginia and started riding motorcycles after moving to Utah to attend college. He has been coaching MSF courses for a few years in the northern Utah area, but recently moved back to Cedar City where he first learned to ride. The access to canyons, mountain passes, open roads, and national parks in Southern Utah makes this his favorite area to ride. Daniel loves to see students grasp the concepts of safe motorcycle riding and gain an increased confidence in riding as they progress through the course. He also says that being a rider coach can partially be selfish as it constantly helps him improve his own safe riding skills. Daniel especially enjoys seeing the commitment to safety of current riders when they return to the course to sharpen up their skills every couple of years.

Meet Coach Michael
Mike grew up in Central Illinois with some limited trail bike experience. He first obtained his MC endorsement in 1996 while living in Des Moines, Iowa. In 1999 Michael made the choice to give back to the motorcycle industry and riding public and became a MSF Rider Coach. He coached in the Iowa, Illinois and Indiana programs for ten years. Mike says he always enjoyed his time as a Rider Coach because it exposed him to like minded people that are excited about starting their own motorcycling journey. Motorcycles have taken Mike and his wife and on many adventures. In 2024, we relocated to Southern Utah in order to take advantage of the motorcycling, downhill skiing and hiking opportunities. Michaels decision to relocate to Southern Utah has been a great opportunity to add a seasoned MSF coach to the staff. Mike owns a few motorcycles and loves coaching and riding.
