Motorcycle Safety Basic Rider Course

The course consists of classroom and on-bike instruction with furnished motorcycles or scooters (loaner scooters are limited—check availability before registering; personal scooters are also permitted). This is a MO State waiver class; those who successfully complete the course will be issued a completion card to obtain the MO license endorsement. Students must be at least 15 and a half years of age and able to ride a bicycle. Those under 18 years of age must have a release form signed by a legal guardian or parent. Students must bring a three-quarter or full helmet that meets Department of Transportation standards (loaner helmets available), over ankle boots with 2-inch or lower heels, full fingered gloves, long-sleeved jacket or heavy shirt, 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 for their own protection and the safety of the group. No refunds will be given if you are unable to complete the class for any reason. Class held rain or shine. You must arrive on time for class; late arrivals will not be admitted.
