The Basic RiderCourse is a research-based and student interactive program, aimed at beginner -immediate riders.

The Basic RiderCourse is a course of instruction for those 15½ years of age and older who wish to develop safe street riding skills. This course is state required for motorcycle license applicants! The course consists of classroom instruction (minimum of eight hours), along with ten (+/-) hours of practical riding in a safe and controlled, off-street environment performing several motorcycle riding exercises. This provides the participants with first hand experience in various techniques and maneuvers which will prepare them for the demands of street riding. While previous motorcycle riding is not necessary, the ability to ride a bicycle is required.

ONCE AGAIN: Since this course is both physically and mentally demanding, participants must be in good physical condition and mentally alert at all times.

In the Basic RiderCourse, you will learn:

• How to safely ride your motorcycle.
• Basic procedures:
  • what to wear, motorcycle controls, how to start and stop your motorcycle.                                    
• Street smart strategies in avoiding trouble and to stay safe.
• How to maneuver your motorcycle in challenging situations:
  • swerving, avoiding collisions, weather conditions, and special situations, lane changes, passing, and avoiding hazards.

Motorcycles are furnished, for you, for the Basic RiderCourse.

Helmets, gloves and eye protection are available, at no charge. if you do not have any at the time of your scheduled class. A list of other required items will be sent in a "new-sign-up" packet (as well as posted on this page - or scroll to bottom of this page to view the entire list of REQUIRED ITEMS)

Your RiderCoaches are certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). They will start you off with straight-line riding, turning, shifting and stopping. You will gradually progress to cornering, swerving and emergency braking. In the classroom you will learn about the different types of motorcycles, their controls, and how they operate. The RiderCoaches, all experienced motorcyclists, will advise you on what to wear for comfort and protection. You'll find out how alcohol and other drugs affect your ability to ride safely. A very important segment of the course will show you how to create your own strategy for riding in traffic, and dealing with critical situations. The course concludes with a knowledge test and skill evaluation. You'll smile with satisfaction as the RiderCoach hands you the course completion card, which you show at the local DMV Office to have a "Motorcycle Endorsement" placed on your driver's license.

Please note - Being a STATE CERTIFIED PROGRAM, NO REFUNDS can be made. This is NOT a private lesson program, ... you ARE in a group situation. Acceptance in the class does not guarantee successful completion. You MUST keep pace with the rest of the class.
