• The Basic Rider Course is a 14 to 15 hour program, which provides classroom and actual motorcycle operator training in a controlled, off-street environment.
• The basics: what to wear, how to start and stop your motorcycle, and motorcycle controls. Street strategies to avoid trouble and stay safe.
• How to maneuver your motorcycle in tough situations. Swerving, avoiding collisions, special situations, lane changes, passing, and avoiding hazards.
• No experience is necessary; a good sense of balance is required (you must be able to ride a bicycle).
• No bike, no promblem. We furnish motorcycles for students to use for the riding course. 
• To have more fun by riding your motorcycle safely.

Required Safety Gear for class:
