This course is designed for beginning riders of all ages. The Basic RiderCourse consists of 15 hours
of instruction including approximately 5 hours using the online self-paced ePackage-1 eCourse and 10
hours of riding on the parking lot range. This course will teach you how to operate a motorcycle
safely, and strongly emphasizes the special skills and mental attitude required for dealing with
every day riding.
You must be able to ride a two-wheeled bicycle and be at least 16 years old and have either a valid
learners permit or drivers license to enroll in the BRC.
You will learn about different types of motorcycles, their controls, and how they operate. The Rider
Coaches, all experienced professionals, will advise you on the proper riding gear to ensure comfort
and protection. You will also learn how alcohol and other drugs affect your ability to ride safely.
The range is a controlled, off-street, pedestrian-free environment. Students use motorcycles
provided by the school to learn and practice safely and correctly the various maneuvers and
demanding situations encountered in street riding. Riders must pass both a written test and a riding
skills test in order to complete the course. Upon successful completion, you will be exempt from any
requirement to take the State test for your motorcycle endorsement at the driver's license office.
