The Basic Rider Course is geared toward the novice motorcyclist, but it will also provide an excellent skills update to the returning or experienced motorcyclist. It contains on-bike and classroom instruction, including 4 units of RiderCoach led classroom discussion and 17 on-the-bike training exercises. Participants must pass a written test and an on-bike skills evaluation. Actual hours of instruction will vary, up or down, depending upon class size, weather conditions, and the makeup of the class participants. Cost is $215.

Premium BRC - The Premium Basic Rider Course is designed for those who want to get the most out of their training experience. The riding portion of the course is approximately 40% longer than the BRC, while the classroom includes more activities and a group riding segment, adding about 6 hours to the total time of the BRC. Cost is $280.

During the classroom portion of the BRC you will discover:

	The different types of motorcycles
	Motorcycle controls
	Fundamental safety information, including risk awareness and management, proper safety equipment and clothing.
	Riding strategies, and you will create your own strategy for riding in traffic
	The effects of drugs and alcohol on the motorcycle rider

The on-bike training begins with controls familiarization, then advances through:

	Straight line riding
	Turning
	Shifting
	Stopping

Once you've learned these basic skills, you'll gradually progress to:

	Cornering
	Swerving
	Emergency braking

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

The completion card issued upon passing the course will entitle Missouri riders to skip the skills test when seeking your motorcycle endorsement. 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.

Our training facility is located at 4804B Noland Rd (US-40 & Noland Rd) in Kansas City, MO, at the General Plaza shopping center.

Other BRC Classes

Additional Riding BRC - this is for students who have completed the BRC, whether passing skill test or not. Provides additional riding instruction (approximately 4 to 5 hours) using selected range activities from the BRC. Students who did not pass their skill test during their original BRC may earn their completion certificate if they take this course within 30 days of their original BRC and pass the skill test at the end of the Additional Riding BRC. We provide the motorcycles. Cost is $125.

Extended BRC - this is for students who need or want more intense instruction. A private class is an Extended BRC. The regular BRC may have up to 6 students per instructor, where this one has a maximum ratio of 3 students per instructor, with a maximum class size of 6. These smaller classes offer more individualized attention and the student gets more practice time with the same amount of clock time. We provide the motorcycles. Cost is determined by number of students: 1 student = $800, 2 students = $600 per student, 3 through 6 students = $400 per student.

NEW!    Kickstart - this is for students who want extra training before their Basic Rider Course, or who just want to try it out before making a decision. It includes the early skill development exercises that are so essential for successful completion of the BRC. Class size will be small to provide a more personal coaching environment. We provide the motorcycle. Cost is $50, and is non-refundable.

Remediation BRC - this is for those who need help with specific problems, or for students who were unable to complete the riding portion of their class. We provide the motorcycle.

Students must complete the course with the class with which they began the training. If the instructor determines the student is not eligible to complete the class or if the student voluntarily decides to leave the class, refunds and/or rescheduling are not available.

The BRC does not teach balance. Students must be able to balance and ride a bicycle prior to the course. If it has been a number of years since you rode a bicycle, we suggest that you borrow one for an hour or two to regain your balance skills.
