Basic Rider Course (BRC)
The Basic Rider's Course is offered to those with no riding experience at all and/or novice riders to include long-time riders. The course covers the basic fundamentals for you to develop your capabilities to become a safe and responsible motorcyclist. It provides the opportunity for you to learn the physical and mental skills important for operating a motorcycle.

In the classroom, you will learn ways to minimize risk and handle special riding situations. During the riding portions of the basic rider's course you will be coached to develop the physical skills of basic control that include: clutch/throttle control, straight-line riding, turning and shifting, and then move on to the more advanced skills to include stopping quickly, cornering and swerving.

To successfully complete the course you must:

  • Attend all sessions.
  • Achieve a minimum score on a knowledge test covering course material
  • Achieve a passing score on the riding/skill evaluation

The riding skill evaluation consists of four exercises that assess limited/space maneuvering skills as well as braking, cornering, and swerving competencies.

The basic riders course will consist of 10 hours of riding on the range and 5 hours of classroom instruction. Upon successful completion of the basic rider's course, your information will be entered directly into the Division of Driver's License web-based reporting system. This will allow you to simply present your driver's license to any examiner for the issuance of a new license with the endorsement. A completion card will also be issued for the purpose of receiving a discount on your motorcycle insurance. Completion of this course excuses you from any further testing.

For those who prefer to ride with fewer students (6 total), the BRC can be conducted at a cost of $375.00 per person.
