Basic RiderCourse (BRC)

In the Basic RiderCourse you will learn:

  • To have more fun by riding your motorcycle safely
  • 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

The Basic RiderCourse is a 14- to 15-hour program, which provides classroom and actual motorcycle operator training in a controlled, off-street environment.

No experience is necessary and motorcycles are furnished; a good sense of balance is required (you must be able to ride a bicycle).  The minimum age permitted to take this course is 15.
