EXPERIENCED RIDER COURSE (BRC2)  

$125.00 RIDER / $25.00 PASSENGER / $175 with LICENSE WAIVER (if seeking M endorsement for this course)

The Experienced Rider Course (ERC) has been redesignated by the MSF as the BRC2. The BRC is a great way to become familiar with motorcycling. Now you can enjoy structured practice on your own bike.  (Participants must bring their own bike for the BRC2 courses.)

Whether you have been riding for one year or throughout your lifetime, the BRC2 has something for you.  During this course you will develop and hone skills for cornering, braking, and swerving maneuvers.  

The Basic RiderCourse 2(BRC2) was developed to address the critical skills and knowledge needed for enjoyable on-street motorcycling. This course allows the rider to experience a training course on their own motorcycle. The course is for experienced motorcyclists of all ages and is usually completed in one or two days (total about 6 hours). The course is ideal for graduates of the Basic RiderCourse. It provides a structure for them to further refine their riding skills. The course is also an excellent course for returning riders to refresh their skills.

Additionally, in this course you will have the option to gain experience for riding alone OR with a passenger (two-up riding).

BRC2 operators participating without a passenger need to have a sufficient amount of riding experience.  BRC2 operators participating with a passenger should have some degree of riding experience with passengers prior to course enrollment.

Riders are expected to use their own motorcycle. Personal motorcycles must be street legal, in good operating condition and pass a routine pre-ride check given as a part of the course. Riders must provide their own riding gear, which includes a DOT certified helmet, eye protection, long sleeve shirt or jacket, full-fingered gloves, long pants and sturdy over-the-ankle footwear (no canvas sneakers).

Many riders find that taking this course every year or two is very valuable and fun. Groups are welcome and always find this course a great way to spend the day with your friends and bonding with your bike.

  • This is typically a 6 to 8 hour course.

  • Participants use their own motorcycle and DOT approved helmet (we check the helmet and the RiderCoach decision is final on this. Absolutely no riding will be permitted wearing a non-DOT novelty type helmet. You will forfeit the course fee.

  • Graduates may qualify for insurance premium discounts with some motorcycle insurers.

  • Completion may qualify the participant to be eligible for a 2 point reduction on their driving record.

  • Completion of the BRC2 satisfies the requirements of the Department of Defense Instruction regarding motorcycle training for active duty military members and civilians operating a motorcycle on military installations.
