This two day course is approximately 15 hours; 5 hours classroom and 10 hours of riding instruction. In the classroom, you’ll learn about the different types of motorcycles, layout and operation of the basic controls, proper riding gear, and how to become a safer, more responsible rider.

SPECIALIZED COURSES
Explore other course offerings such as 3rd party DMV testing, customized tailored private sessions, and dirt bike training.
3rd Party DMV Testing $75
We highly stress the importance of taking a BRC class first which lays down a solid foundation of skill needed to ride safely on today’s roads, However there are some people who possess more than enough skills needed to operate a motorcycle safely and just want to complete the riding portion of the state motorcycle licensing requirement and get on the road. For those individuals we offer 3RD Party DMV testing.
Custom Tailored Private (CTP) $100 per hour
We offer private lessons tailored to your needs. Not everyone learns how to ride a motorcycle in two days and that is more than okay. Our main goal is to get you comfortable with what you are struggling with so you can be a safe and successful rider.
