Basic Rider Course 2.0 (BRC 2.0)

The Basic Rider Course 2.0 (BRC 2.0) is a six-hour course for the licensed rider who has recently completed the Basic Rider Course (BRC) and wants additional practice on their personal motorcycle.

It is also a terrific course for someone who has recent experience riding a motorcycle, is already licensed and wants to improve or refresh their skills.

The class consists of nine riding exercises partly borrowed from the Basic Rider Course (BRC) with a couple of new twists, all faster and tighter, but most importantly, on YOUR bike.

Instruction is provided by Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) certified Instructors. Individuals enrolling in this course must have a valid Class M motorcycle license.

Riders are expected to use their own motorcycle. Personal motorcycles must be street legal, in good operating condition and pass a routine pre-ride check given as a part of the course. Riders are to provide their own riding gear, which includes a DOT certified helmet, eye protection, jacket, full-fingered gloves, long pants and sturdy over-the-ankle footwear.

TUITION is $150.00 for Basic Rider Course 2.0 (BRC 2.0).

For the Pure Novice: A taste of riding... without a big investment of time or money. Find out if riding is for you, and if you have the basic skills needed to be prepared for the full Basic Rider Course (BRC).

Introduction to Motorcycling! is a new class from Training Wheels and has been designed specifically for the brand new rider. The Course is a two-hour, hands-on private class which introduces brand new riders to the activity of motorcycling. Class sizes are a 1:1 student:coaching ratio with a MSF certified Rider Coach.

Introduction to Motorcycling! is intended as a precursor to the regular Basic Rider Course. If you are unsure of your abilities, are unsure if motorcycle riding is the right activity for you, or if you just want to take a more gradual approach to learning to ride, consider the Introduction to Motorcycling!

If you decide to participate in the Basic Rider Course upon completion of the Introduction to Motorcycling! session, then $50 will be applied towards your tuition of the BRC.

Private Basic Rider Course (one day)

The Basic Rider Course (BRC) has been designed to be an effective way to learn how to ride a motorcycle over a 2 day, 15 hour course. It is important to mention that 99% of our students participate in the traditional 2-day riding course that we offer. If your schedule does not allow 2 consecutive days to take the course, then the BRC can be taught in one day during a private one-on-one session.

Please keep in mind that the one day BRC is very demanding as we are incorporating a tremendous amount of information into a one day session. We found that the best suited candidates for the one day BRC are those who are in good physical shape and have at least some motorcycle riding experience.

Please call us at 508-247-9595 to discuss your options.

Tuition is $675 for the One Day BRC.

If you feel that you are not a good candidate for the one day BRC, but time constraints are an issue, then please call us and we will be happy to work with you to create a customized schedule that accommodates your needs.
