Motorcycle Safety Basic Rider Course
Basic Rider Course (MSF-BRC) is geared toward the novice motorcyclist or scooter operator

with furnished motorcycles or scooters (loaner scooters are limited — check availability

a bicycle. Those under 18 years of age must have a release form signed by a legal

eye protection, sturdy pants and a photo ID. At the discretion of the instructors,
students who are unable to safely operate the motorcycles will be dismissed from class

Motorcycle Skills: Basic Rider Course 2
The BRC-2 was developed to hone your skills and fine-tune the mental drills crucial
to being a safe rider while using your own motorcycle. This is an excellent class
as a refresher after winter storage, to update your training for insurance company
discount or as an intermediate level of training after the Basic Rider Course. Put
into practice the techniques of managing traction, stopping quickly, limited space
maneuvers, cornering and swerving using your own bike. There’s always something left
to learn! This course is for two-wheeled motorcycles only (no scooters). Must have
motorcycle permit or M-endorsement on driver’s license, be 18 years of age or older,
and provide own street legal and insured motorcycle. Students should have successfully
completed a Basic Rider Course or have sufficient riding skills and experience to
operate a motorcycle with basic proficiency. Students who cannot demonstrate basic
low-speed maneuvers in the first exercise can be counseled out of the class. Students
must bring DOT-approved three-quarter or full helmet (loaner helmets available), over
ankle boots with two-inch or lower heels, full finger gloves, long-sleeved jacket
or heavy shirt, eye protection, sturdy pants and photo ID. Passengers are permitted
to accompany riders; all safety gear and rules apply. Class held rain or shine. **

Motorcycle Skills: Ultimate Bike Bonding Rider Course
Bike bonding refers to the connection and interaction of the rider and motorcycle.
Good bike bonding helps riders automate their physical skills so they can devote more
attention to road and traffic conditions (searching and evaluating). This is a precision
riding curriculum derived from police motorcycle training courses and consists of
drills and skill circuits to improve a rider’s performance. Controlled motorcycle
operation and body positioning are emphasized to maximize low-speed operation and
control. By the end of the course, participants should be able to handle their motorcycle
in a more precise and smooth manner. There is no classroom portion to this course.
Participants must provide their own motorcycle and pass an on-site safety inspection.
The BRC-2 or ARC are recommended prerequisites if the student has never taken a formal
class for low speed maneuvers. Must have an M-endorsement on license, use their own
street-legal insured motorcycle (no scooters permitted), and be 18 years of age or
older. Required items include DOT-approved three-quarter or full helmet (loaner helmets
available), over ankle boots with two-inch or lower heels, full finger gloves, long-sleeved
jacket or heavy shirt, eye protection, sturdy pants. **
