Your portion of the cost to take our State approved BASIC RIDER COURSE (BRC), which includes use of a motorcycle, is only $25.00 and that includes the use of a School motorcycle.
The typical schedule for the BRC (BASIC RIDER'S COURSE) is Friday evening from 6-9:00 P.M. for class room study, another 1.5-2 hours of classroom on Saturday, approximately 4-hours of motorcycle training on Saturday and another 4-hours of motorcycle training on Sunday. Your Saturday and Sunday schedule will be assigned at the Friday night class. For planning purposes, you should assume your range training could be assigned anytime 6:45 AM - 5:30 P.M. Saturday and Sunday.
The BRC classes fill quickly and early registration is advised. Admission is on a first to register first to receive services basis. Currently available training dates, subject to change, are listed on the online course application at the link below.
The RRBRC (Returning Riders Basic Rider's Course) is a ONE DAY course designed for the returning rider with previous experience and/or the individual who has been riding a motorcycle on a permit for some time. The objectives of the RRBRC include refining basic motorcycle skills and gaining more knowledge of risk, including how to manage risk while riding. The RRBRC consists of 7-classroom units and 9-riding exercises which takes approximately 8.5 hours (excluding lunch) to complete.
Here are the requirements to take the RRBRC: 1) must hold a valid driver's license, with OR without a cycle endorsement, 2) must have basic rider skills and 3) must be at least 15-years of age. The RRBRC course is an excellent way to increase existing skills and, if you need a cycle endorsement, satisfactory completion of the course waives the skills-test (also known as the "road-test") requirement.
The use of a School motorcycle is
included in the $25.00 RRBRC registration fee.
Please
contact the Program Manager if you want to pursue utilizing your own motorcycle in the
RRBRC.
