The Basic RiderCourse is a motorcycle class designed to take the beginning
student from the most fundamental functions and operations of a motorcycle
to advanced street riding skills designed to increase riding enjoyment and
reduce chance of mishaps. Statistically, trained riders are involved in fewer
accidents. Successful completion of the course may waive the riding skills test
at the California DMV. If you already have a motorcycle license but have
been away from motorcycling for several years, this is also the motorcycle
class for you.

Riding Exercises:
Each exercise in each session builds cumulatively on the skills and information from the preceding exercises and
discussions. Therefore, each student must attend both riding sessions in their entirety and sequence.
Your weekend riding class may be split into two riding groups: a morning group and an afternoon group. You may
request placement in either group but must stay in the same riding group both Saturday and Sunday. Riding
sessions are 5 hours long.
If your RiderCoach determines that your skill level makes you unsafe and you pose a safety hazard to yourself or
others in the class, you may be asked to leave the class early. This decision is in the sole discretion of the
RiderCoach. If you are asked to leave there will be no refund, although you may re-register and try again. You may
return for free on a stand-by basis. OR, you may pay an additional $125 dollars and you will get a guaranteed spot
in our next available class with openings.
