Description:
Learn how to ride and earn your motorcycle license endorsement.
The MSF Basic Rider Course consists of 11.5 hours of on-cycle training and a prerequisite online course called The MSF Basic eCourse. The eCourse is a highly interactive 5-hour online program that provides riders of all skill levels with the basics of motorcycling.
After registering for the Basic Rider Course, you will receive a confirmation email which includes directions and a specific link to enrolling in the eCourse.
On the riding range, your MSF-certified RiderCoach will guide you through the basic skills of straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning, gradually progressing to swerving and emergency braking. Motorcycles are provided for all the students enrolled in the Basic Rider Course. For a complete course description, visit MN Motorcycle Safety Center.
