VERNON BRYANTASSISTANT MOTORCYCLE INSTRUCTOR

Vernon has been riding for twenty-five years, starting out on street bikes where he quickly began participating in drag racing as well as road racing. The addiction to speed was real and motorcycles proved to be the perfect method of quenching that thirst. In 2019 Vernon fell in love with the KTM 1290 and so began his journey down the path of adventure riding. He says he soon found he had no idea how to ride an adventure bike and signed up for his first ADV training with D.A.R.T. He’s been involved with D.A.R.T. ever since. Vernon’s current ride of choice is the one and only BMW R 1250 GS which he says, “makes me look like a much better rider than I really am.”

 

“There are only two things in life that surpass my love for ADV riding and that’s my love for Jesus Christ who is my Lord and Savior,” says Vernon. “And, my love for my wife of twenty- three years, Melissa, and two children ages twenty-one and twenty-three.” Vernon has recently been ordained as an Elder in his church in San Antonio, Texas, and has a passion and zeal to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the masses. Vernon was also instrumental in the formation of D.A.R.T. Camp, (Christian Adventure Motorcycle Project).
