Jed Duncan - President
  • MSF RiderCoach Trainer

Jed started riding on a Rupp Roadster in 1976, rode a KLR 650 to Alaska and back after college, and currently rides a Yamaha Super Tenere, Aprilia Tuono Factory and KTM 640. First certified with the MSF in 2000, Jed became one of the first chief instructors for the Basic Rider Course (BRC) in 2002, helped to develop an advanced curriculum (2006) and was tasked with training coaches nationally in the new MSF on-road Street RiderCourse curriculum (2009). After working with different riding schools around the United States, Jed founded Riders Resource in 2006 to train military personnel, and opened Rider Academy in 2008 for 'civilians'.

Thanks to a supportive spouse and 3 daughters, and thanks to all the riders that have chosen Rider Academy, Jed gets to 'play' with motorcycles' full-time. In the winter he skis, pedals a fat-tire bicycle, flies radio control airplanes and helicopters, and helps train coaches in warmer climates. In his dreams the whole family travels around the world on 2 motorcycles and one sidecar, for 18 months of adventure.
