Requirements

All students must:

  1. Be able to balance a bicycle…  knowing how to ride is even better!

  2. Supply and wear required Riding Gear

  3. Complete your online ePackage course before class (both BRC and BRC2 students), and arrive with printed certificate in hand. 

    Note: we provide access to the proper MSF ePackage, via email, as part of your fee… so please don’t go to the MSF website first to take an “eCourse” or you’ll waste $20. (MSF online courses are not required for ART.)

  4. Complete, and sign the appropriate Course Waiver before class

  5. Possess a valid driver’s license or photo I.D. for class entry.   

  6.  Review any other requirements specific to the course you are taking: BRC, BRC2, or ART (these will also be included as part of your confirmation email).

For the Basic RiderCourse, you'll use our motorcycles, so no need to bring yours. However, if you own a scooter and prefer to use it, give us a call for more information.
