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.

If I change my mind, can I get my money back?

A 100% refund, less a $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 student is not eligible to complete the class or if the student voluntarily decides to leave the class, refunds will not be issued. If you need to reschedule, we will charge a $10 reschedule fee, and you must reschedule more than 7 days in advance.

What if I am late or miss a class?

Students must attend all sessions. Missing a session or being late will automatically disqualify you, and you will not receive a refund.

What if I do not show up?

Our classes are limited in size. We must pay to teach you even if you don't show up, therefore no-shows will not receive refunds.

What qualifications do your instructor's have?

Our RiderCoaches are certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and the Missouri Motorcycle Safety Program. All of us are experienced motorcyclists.
