MSF BRC Overview
The BRC is designed to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the entry-level rider to learn the basic skills and road strategies necessary to become a proficient and safe motorcyclist. It is also a great course for the re-entry rider to sharpen their rusty skills.

Our MSF-certified Rider Coaches provide the student with a learning experience that will facilitate development of riding skills needed to ride on public roads.

The BRC combines classroom time (approx 5 hours) with range time on the motorcycle (approx 12 hours), providing a balance of “riding smarts” with riding technique. Extra time is allowed in the schedule should it be necessary for an individual class.

Covered topics include but are not limited to: types of motorcycles, control systems, protective clothing, riding strategies, and the effects of alcohol and drugs on riding ability.

The classroom has a learner-based atmosphere where the students are encouraged to participate in the learning process. The goal is to involve students using a newly revised handbook with lots of discussion and activities designed to make learning fun and interesting.

Students will be coached through 17 range exercises that will introduce them to the basic skills needed to ride a motorcycle. There is plenty of time allotted for each exercise. We have a saying “if the wheels aren’t turning, you are not learning”.

It is our goal to provide students with a safe environment to explore and develop their individual abilities. We ask that students come to class with an open mind and a willingness to take a few “leaps of faith”.

No one can learn for you, this is as”hands on” as any training can get, and as such demands focus and concerted effort on the part of the student.

Your RiderCoaches are there to guide you through this program but ultimately it is up to the student how much they get from the course.

Motorcycles are supplied for the BRC. Students need to wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts or jackets, full-fingered gloves, over the ankle foot ware and a DOT approved helmet. Helmets will be supplied for those students that do not have a D.O.T approved helmet. Eye protection must also be worn either in the form of a face shield or shatter resistant glasses. Range exercises are conducted rain or shine, rain suites are provided if necessary. If you have equipment question please contact us.
Upon successful completion of the BRC, those students that are in possession of a valid NYS motorcycle learners permit will be mailed a waiver card that will exempt the road test portion of their license requirements. Students need to take this card and their permit to a local DMV to obtain their new license.

The RiderCoaches that teach the courses are all certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCoaches. They are trained, experienced motorcyclists that want to “give back” to the sport they love. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the experience these professionals bring to the class.
