Where can I get a
Motorcycle Operation Manual for the Missouri written test? |
You may pick up a copy
free of charge at any Missouri DMV location or by visiting the Missouri
DOR website by clicking
HERE.
|
|
What do I get when I
complete the class? |
The completion card issued upon passing the course
will entitle Missouri
riders to skip the skills
test when seeking a motorcycle
endorsement. Kansas riders cannot use a Missouri completion certificate
to bypass the state test.
Many insurance companies will also give you a
discount on your motorcycle insurance. In addition, many of the
motorcycle owner clubs provide re-imbursement of a portion of your
fee. Check with your club to make sure, or ask your dealer if you're
purchasing a new bike.

What if it rains ? |
Classes run rain or
shine. If rain is in the forecast, bring your rain gear.

|
May I sit in on the class when my
son/daughter/wife/husband/other takes the class? |
You will NOT be able to
sit in on the classroom portion of the training. The classroom sessions
contain training that has value to anyone attending. If you wish to sit
in, you will need to pay for the classroom portion.
We
cannot stop anyone from watching the outside activities because it is in
a public place. It is a bad idea to watch. It bothers people. Please
keep this in mind.
|
|
What are the completion requirements? |
1) Attend all sessions - you must be on
time!
2) Pass a written test on the course
material.
3) Pass an on-bike skills evaluation.
|
|
What if I do not pass? |
If you completed the
course but did not pass the skills evaluation, you may take the
Additional Riding BRC. If you did not complete the course, you must
retake the entire course. Passing the course is not guaranteed.

$25.00 processing fee, will be issued if the registrant cancels the
class MORE than 7 days in advance.
Refunds will not be issued if the registrant cancels less than 7 days
prior to the opening of the class. If the instructor determines the

voluntarily decides to leave the class, refunds
will not be issued. If

must reschedule more than 7 days in advance.

you will not receive a refund.
