Tony Bohannon
Instructor

Tony has been riding and servicing motorcycles (and fixing just about everything else mechanical) for almost 40 years. Don't let the gray hair fool you, he is a very good rider in his own humble opinion. Over the years, Tony has ridden, owned, and repaired a wide range of motorized vehicles. MotoMark1 is very privileged to have Tony as a highly skilled street/dirtbike instructor along with his wealth of mechanical skill and knowledge. Tony is also a "rider coach" with the MSF and teaches DirtBike School (DBS). Tony is not a member of the motor officer community, but has been chased by them in his youth if that counts (he is older and wiser now, just ask his daughters).

Jason Davis is an experienced motorcyclist both on road and off. Jason's motorcycle training consists of the North Carolina Highway Patrol Motorcycle Course, and the grueling USMC Milmo off road school, both as a student and assistant instructor. Jason has also worked with MotorMark1 to provide the demo rider services to local dealerships.

Jason is a decorated Marine of 20 plus years, and brings a wide range of skills to MotorMark1, both as a rider and instructor, and as an event and logistics coordinator. Jason's communication and organizational skills combined with his leadership ability has been instrumental in him being a key Logistics/Transportation Coordinator to many Marine Corps units across the country and Joint Services/Multinational Forces throughout the world. When you partner with MotoMark1 for events and services, you''ll benefit from his logistics expertise. When you learn from Jason, you'l benefit not only from his wealth of experience and teaching ability, but his great sense of humor. We're proud to have him aboard.
