Our Story
It was March 20th, 2004 and James was out riding at the start of the season with close friends, enjoying the great roads of Alberta, an hour west of Calgary on the 1A when tragedy struck. James witnessed in horror, while rounding a left “sweeper” (curve in the road) when an oncoming car took the curve wide and cross the solid yellow line. The vehicle and a fellow rider (a family member of James’) struck each other head-on. 60km/h against 60km/h. The impact was a flurry of dust, debris, and chaos as the car carried through to the other side and hit the ditch while the remnants of the rider and motorcycle disintegrated into thousands of pieces. The driver, shocked but safe, remained the only recognizable vehicle… resting a few hundred meters from evidence of tire tracks and spattered fluids.
The rider… was not so lucky. This impactful experience, and unfortunately not the only one, lit a passion of advocacy and commitment to educate, inform, and provide motorcycle training to as many people as possible. It is not just about motorcycles, it is not just about twisting the throttle, it is about sharing the road, the responsibility, and having the skills necessary to be proactive, reactive, and preventative, so that we can minimize tragedies and injuries for everyone. Motology School is committed to providing quality training delivered through our personal experiences and motivations.
RIP Adrian Wong 2004. You will always be remembered.
