Special 2-Day Basic Motorcycle Rider Course - Learn to Ride + License

Hello Folks, Join us for a special 2-day motorcycle Basic RiderCourse (BRC) which provides the basic entry-level skills for a new rider to begin practicing and developing skills that are needed for street operation. This course is usually a 2 1/2 day course that can range up to $375.00. While in Richmond, we have a great program at $195.00 and only 2 days!!. We'll also plan some other cool stuff while in town! This course takes the beginning rider through the basics of motorcycle operation, effective braking, turning skills and obstacle avoidance, as well as safe riding strategies. The course consists of 5 hours of classroom instruction and several hours of actual hands on training. Upon successful completion of the couse, a MSF completion card & a Virginia DMV Completion Certificate/30 day temporary motorcycle license waiver are issued. The Virginia DMV Completion Certificate will waive BOTH the knowledge & skills test at any Va. DMV for one year from the date issued. It will also grant the student (19 years of age or older) a 30 day temporary class "M" license to drive a motorcycle from the date of completion. The Virginia DMV Completion Certificate (waiver) will be good for one year for the purpose of waiving the knowledge and skills test as well as the 30 day motorcycle learner's permit holding period. (This portion requires a VA license and other states do not accept the VA waiver or MSF card. -- we will try to set up a MD program soon) You do not need a learner's permit or motorcycle drivers license to take the Basic RiderCourse.
