MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

The Basic RiderCourse (BRC) is designed for new and inexperienced riders who want to learn the fundamentals of safe and responsible motorcycle operation. This comprehensive course combines online instruction with practical riding exercises to provide a well-rounded introduction to motorcycling.

The BRC blends online learning with hands-on riding practice for a complete beginner-friendly experience. 

Online Learning (5 hours): Learn the basics of motorcycle safety at your own pace—usually completed on Friday. The online course covers essential riding knowledge and prepares you for the practical sessions. Topics include risk management, riding within your skill level, and understanding the dynamics of two-wheeled vehicles. 

Practical Riding Exercises (11 hours): Join us on Saturday and Sunday for real-time riding exercises led by certified instructors. Gain hands-on experience with motorcycle controls, basic maneuvers, and riding techniques. Practice skills such as starting, stopping, turning, and swerving in a controlled environment. 

Classes happen rain or shine. No prior experience needed. 

Certification: Skip the written and driving tests at the DMV with your MSF certification. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Basic RiderCourse (BRC) certification, which qualifies for the “L” endorsement on a driver’s license.
