The Basic RiderCourse 

	Basic RiderCourse (BRC) graduates qualify for motorcycle license test waiver. However you will be required to take the written test only at the Texas Department of Public Safety after completing the BRC.   If you are under the age of 18 you will be required by the Texas Department of Public Safety to take the written test and riding evaluation at their office before receiving their motorcycle endorsement.   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 six hours classroom instruction as well as at least ten 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.

In the Basic RiderCourse, you will learn:

• How to safely ride your motorcycle.
• Basic procedures:
  • what to wear, motorcycle controls, how to start and stop your motorcycle.
