Basic RiderCourse
(BRC) graduates qualify for motorcycle license test waiver.
This course
is a research-based and student interactive program, for all
ages from beginner up to immediate riders. Insurance
premium discounts may be given with some motorcycle insurers**.
Great refresher course for those of you who have not
ridden for some time or those of you who have never ridden and
wonder what riding a motorcycle would be like?
|
|
The Basic RiderCourse is a minimum of seven
hours classroom instruction as well as at least eight
hours of practical riding in a controlled, off-street environment,
typically a parking lot. |
|
In the BRC , you will learn how to
operate a motorcycle safely, with a lot of emphasis on the special
skills and mental attitude necessary for dealing with traffic.
Your RiderCoaches are certified by the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They will start you off with straight-line
riding, turning, shifting and stopping. You will gradually progress to
cornering, swerving and emergency braking.
|
 |
|
|
In the classroom you will learn
about the different types of motorcycles, their controls, and how they
operate. The RiderCoaches, all experienced motorcyclists, will
advise you on what to wear for comfort and protection. You will find out
how alcohol and other drugs affect your ability to ride safely.
A very important segment of the course will show you how to create your own
strategy for riding in traffic, and dealing with critical situations.
The course concludes with a knowledge test and skill evaluation.
You will smile with satisfaction as the RiderCoach hands you the course
completion card.
