Basic RiderCourse

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Basic Rider Course BRC is a Beginner / Novice motorcycle rider-training program designed for those with very little or no experience in riding a motorcycle. The program consists of classroom and hands-on motorcycle training. The ability to ride a bicycle is necessary for this program.

Classroom adult learning discussions focus on: Rider Responsibility, Risk Awareness, Acceptance and Management, Riding Preparation, and Street Strategies. At the end of the classroom session, the Knowledge Test is administered.

I started my motorcycle rider class today at MCC.  The first day was all classroom, watching videos and reviewing skills and actions.  Tomorrow we are doing exercises on the course on their motorcycles.

I could get used to half days @ work, coming in after lunch is just fine by me.

We learned about the parts of the bike, how to inspect, mount, start, up shift, brake, downshift, turn off, and how to dismount the bike all in the classroom.  Tomorrow we will get to do some of it in the real world and I finally get to wear my helmet and not just look silly.
