Basic RiderCourse I

The Basic RiderCourse is designed to teach the novice motorcyclist the skills necessary to ride safely on the street.

The course takes the beginning rider through the basics of motorcycle operation: straight line riding, turning, shifting, stopping and safe riding strategies.

Course completion requires an online MSF eCourse. This is a self-paced video course and is approximately 5-hours in length.

To get the most from the Basic RiderCourse, it is suggested that the eCourse be completed before coming to the riding portion. However, completion of the eCourse is not required before coming to participate in the in-person range activities.

A Tennessee course completion certificate used toward a motorcycle license will not be issued until all parts of the Basic RiderCourse are successfully completed, i.e. eCourse, Tennessee Division of Motor Vehicles knowledge test, participation in the MSF range activities and an on-cycle skills evaluation.

Learning to ride a motorcycle is challenging both physically and mentally, but certainly attainable. We ask that you not schedule any activities during the two days of class, including work, parties and late night outings. Get a good nights rest the night before the class and the night following the first day. Successful completion is up to you.

During the winter months, and early spring, if snow/ice are forecast, registrations will be moved to the next available date.

A minimum number for 4 students is required to have a class. If class cancellation is required, notice may not occur until the day before the class date.

If you have a small cooler, bring snacks, lunch, soft drinks, and water to class. Be sure your boots are comfortable, broken in, and have adequate traction. Be alert to each day’s weather conditions and dress in layers as appropriate for comfort.
