The Motorcycle Safety Foundation's BASIC RIDER COURSE is sponsored by Lansing Community College and the State of Michigan. This course offers 14 hours of instruction by Motorcycle Safety Foundation Certified Instructors on the fundamentals of good motorcycle riding. Upon completion of the course and passing grades of the written and riding evaluation, you will be able to waive the State of Michigan riding test to receive your motorcycle endorsement with the State of Michigan. The State written test, taken at the Secretary of State's office, must still be passed to receive your driver's license endorsement. The course cost is $25 (nonrefundable).
Our instruction is done in a controlled off-street environment located at LCC's West Campus (click this link for a map). Our goal is to make your experience fun, safe and rewarding. No experience is necessary. A good sense of balance is required (you must be able to ride a bike). Our rider coaches are certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and have years of instruction experience.
What you will learn:
- To have more fun riding safely.
- The basics, what to wear, how to start and stop the motorcycle, and motorcycle controls.
- Street strategies to avoid trouble and stay safe.
- How to maneuver your motorcycle in tough situations--swerving, proper braking, avoiding collisions, special situations, lane changes, passing, avoiding hazards, negotiating curves.
What we supply:
Our instruction program includes 4 hours of classroom instruction (Friday night, 6pm - 10pm) and 10 hours of on the range riding instruction (Saturday AND Sunday - AM range 7:30am - 12:30pm OR PM range 1:00pm - 6:00pm). All training materials, porta-john, and motorcycles are included.
What you will need to bring:
DOT approved full helmet with face shield or eye-protection, riding/leather jacket or long-sleeved shirt, full fingered riding gloves, riding chaps or heavy jeans, over-the-ankle boots.
