This is an organized program for beginning and experienced motorcyclists who want to operate their motorcycles safely and efficiently. Experienced and certified rider coaches trained by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation conduct classes. Motorcycles are supplied by local dealerships. Upon successful completion of the course you will receive a waiver for the motorcycle skills test for Class M (Motorcycle) Operator's license. The Basic Rider Course (BRC) consists of classroom (6 hours) and "hands-on" range riding experience (10 hours). The classroom portion will be held on the first Saturday listed on the schedule. The hands-on riding sessions will be held on a later Saturday and Sunday or on designated weekdays as noted on the schedule.

The Experienced Riders Course (ERC) is designed for riders who already possess the basic operating skills necessary to maneuver a motorcycle. During this course, riders will hone their mental and physical abilities while riding their own safe, street-ready motorcycles. Exercises will include advance braking and cornering techniques and address the decision making process. Rider Coaches, trained by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, will draw from the student's knowledge and experience while guiding them through this five hour course. Riders are required to utilize their own motorcycles for this course, and they must be insured.
