This fifteen hour course teaches motorcyclists with little or no riding experience the fundamentals of safer motorcycle operation. Plenty of open discussion, hands-on instruction, and FUN in a low-stress setting that is conducive to Learning.

Motorcycles and safety gear are provided all you have to do is show up! Classes meet on either Thursday OR Friday evenings from 4:00pm to 9:00pm for classroom instruction, including the State test for licensing.

On Saturday and Sunday, we break the class up into two groups, one group (Group A) will ride from 7:30am to 12:30pm, and the other group (Group B) will ride from 12:30pm to 5:30pm. When scheduling your reservation, you can reserve whichever group you would like to be in. The majority of Saturday and Sunday is spent on the bikes, learning riding skills and accident prevention training. On Sundays, we administer the State skills test for licensing. Course fee is $240 for the "A" Course, $240 for the "B" Course. Only difference being the hours of range training is held.

The Basic Rider Course is specifically designed for beginning riders. The course combines classroom learning with hands-on riding exercises to introduce new riders to motorcycling. The basic course takes a gradual approach to develop riding skills. As a result, the rider's experience, while challenging, is less stressful and more enjoyable. Overall, the course teaches crucial information and manipulative skills. This teaching style makes learning to ride more accusable to beginners.

What you will learn

Motorcycle operation, the best protective clothing types, how to avoid dangerous situations, and how to get out of those dangerous situations that you cannot avoid. Upon completion of the course we will challenge your skills at the two-year rider level. Upon successful completion of the course and tests you'll be qualified to add the motorcyclist's endorsement to your driver's license.
