- Review of kinematics including units, conversions, and derivations of basic equations
- Fundamentals of motorcycle dynamics (geometry, stability, steering, weight transfer, suspension, etc.)
- Motorcycle inspection
- Rider perception-response time
- Braking systems and rider performance
- Introduction to Excel for collision reconstruction
- Dynamics of swerving and rider performance
- Acceleration behavior, calculations, and gearing analysis
- Sliding friction for downed motorcycles
- Speed estimation via vehicular damage
- Rotational mechanics
- Rider and pillion vault analysis
- Event data recorders and dataloggers
- Simulation analyses for impact speed determination
- Monte Carlo analysis to determine confidence in results
