GENERAL AND PERSONAL ENRICHMENT
Motorcycle Classes:
Basic Riders Course (BRC):

The BRC course has an accelerated curriculum. Each exercise teaches a new skill as well as building on one or more previously taught skills. If you miss any portion of a range exercise, you will not be allowed to continue on the range. This will result in failure of the skills portion of the BRC. You are welcome to observe the rest of the exercises if you choose. You may continue with the classroom portion of the course, but will not be awarded a completion card.

No refunds or schedule changes will be possible after the first 10% (first 2 hours) of the class - this must be done prior to the first 2 hours.

 
Course Objectives:
  • To develop a safe, responsible motorcyclist.
  • To develop the mental skills for safe motorcycling.
  • To develop the physical skills for safe motorcycling.
  • To create an understanding of risk awareness and risk taking.
  • To develop strategies to manage risk.
