The Basic RiderCourse (BRC) was developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) as a complete riding program for the beginner rider. Taught by Go Motorcycling, Inc.’s MSF, Motorcycle Association of New York State and NYS DMV certified RiderCoaches, the course consists of 5 hours of interactive classroom learning and at least 10 hours of hands-on riding instruction.

The 2½ - day course provides the beginning motorcyclist with the basic mental and physical riding skills necessary to minimize risk on the street.

In the classroom you’ll learn about:

• different types of motorcycles
• how they operate
• what to wear for comfort and protection

• how alcohol and other drugs can affect your ability to ride safely.

The BRC’s riding exercises cover:

Each class is limited to 12 students with 2 RiderCoaches. Learning is a fun, step-by-step process in a secured lot on our user-friendly training motorcycles.
