Our Courses
The BRC is a course designed for new riders or those wanting to refresh their skills. No previous motorcycle experience is required. You only need the ability to balance and ride a bicycle.
The BRC consists of:
-
a 5 hour MSF eCourse (The link will be provided after completed registration and payment. This needs to be completed before the in person class.)
-
10 to 12 hours of hands-on motorcycle training over a 2 day period.
-
You'll start with the fundamentals, including understanding controls, and advance to essential riding techniques that emphasize safety and smooth operation.
-
Our course covers low-speed maneuvers, emergency braking, swerving, and risk-reduction strategies.
-
We provide the motorcycle. All of our bikes are 300 ccs and under.

Experienced
Rider Course
(BRC II)
$140
Earn your M endorsement upon successful completion of the Experienced Rider Course.
The goal of the Experienced Rider Course (ERC or BRC II) is to refine your motorcycle handling skills and gain confidence in your riding ability. You will practice these skills using your own motorcycle. Motorcycles should be properly insured and street legal (headlights, tail-lights, turn signals, etc.) We can provide motorcycles upon request. (Our bikes are 300ccs or smaller.) The ERC is great for participants who are already familiar with motorcycle riding.
​
For those seeking the M Endorsement for your license, you will take the eCourse and participate in the hands-on motorcycle training using your own motorcycle. Let us know if you are seeking the M Endorsement when you sign up.
​
For those that simply want to refresh or refine your skills, you will only complete the hands-on motorcycle training on the range using your own motorcycle.
