The Motorcycle
Basic
Rider
Course is designed
for
individuals
with
little
or
no
riding
experience.
It
presents
skills
that,
when
practiced
by
the
student,
are
necessary
for
survival
on
the
street.
|
The curriculum progresses at an aggressive pace.You should be aware of the following facts: |
| 1. |
On the street, operating
any
vehicle
(bicycle,
car,
motorcycle)
brings
with
it
both
responsibility
and
risk.
As
with
any
human
endeavor,
the
possibility
of
being
seriously
hurt
or
killed
is
always
present. |
| 2. |
Riding
a
motorcycle
is
much
more
difficult
than
riding
a
bicycle
or
operating
a
car.
It
involves
a
great
deal
of
hand
and
eye
coordination.
You
must
be
able
to
balance
a
two-wheeled
vehicle,
the
same
way
a
good
bicycle
rider
can.
If
not,
please
practice before
attending. |
| 3. |
You should
come
to
class
in
good
physical
condition,
well

attend
all
sessions. |

required
to
push
a
motorcycle. |
| 5. |
You will
be
required
to
read
and
study
from
the
provided
workbook. |
| 6. |

that
not
everyone
successfully
completes
this
course.
On
average,
about
70%
of
enrollees
are
successful.
Regardless, all students leave the course with
a
better
understanding
of
how
motorcycles
interact
with
traffic,
with
the
environment,
and
of
their
responsibilities
as
a
rider. |
| 7. |
During the course, you
may
discover,
or
be
told,
that
riding
motorcycles
is
not

you.

your
safety

the
safety
of
others,
the
Instructor
may
not
allow
you
to
continue. |
