BASIC COURSE:

MSF Basic RiderCourse

Get trained, get licensed. The FAST TRACK to motorcycle licensing!

This 2-day course helps students learn skills such as straight-line riding, shifting, turning, swerving, and stopping (including making quick stops).  Motorcycles are provided.  After successfully learning these essential skills, you can earn the DMV Road Test Waiver card which can be redeemed for a motorcycle license!

The course curriculum consists of a 5-hour online eCourse and 10 hours of practical training on a motorcycle.  You must have a valid NYS Driver’s License and NYS Motorcycle Permit at the time of waiver redemption (permit test may be taken after course completion).  Additionally, be sure to check with your insurance company, as you may be eligible for discounts for taking the course.

INTERMEDIATE COURSE:

MSF Basic Rider Course 2 – Skills Practice

Refresh or fine-tune your motorcycle safety skills during this 5-hour course at the MSS location of your choice on a motorcycle.  This course is ideal for intermediate riders or MSF Basic RiderCourse graduates. Students practice low-speed maneuvering while working on swerving, braking, and cornering techniques.  If you took the MSF Basic RiderCourse more than 3 years ago, most insurance companies will accept this course completion and offer insurance discounts.

Students can bring their own street-legal motorcycle or use one from our sponsors.  Call to inquire about club discounts and take advantage of the opportunity to have a great time with other riders while becoming more familiar with your own bike!

ADVANCED COURSE:

This 1-day course is designed for experienced riders to practice low-speed maneuvering while also improving their swerving, braking, and cornering techniques.  After practicing and refining these important techniques, you will be able to take the test for the DMV Road Test Waiver which can be redeemed for a motorcycle license!

Bring your own street-legal motorcycle or borrow one from us!  The course curriculum includes a 4-hour online eCourse and 6 hours of practical training followed by a riding skills test.  Check with your insurance provider for eligible discounts!
