Motorcycle/Scooter Basic Rider Course (BRC)

Whether you have never ridden before or already are an experienced rider, Moraine Park Technical College’s hands-on Basic Rider Course is a terrific way to learn the basics of operating a motorcycle, improving your skills and making wise judgments when riding. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) is the internationally recognized developer of the comprehensive, research-based, Rider Education and Training curriculum used in our course. We provide beginning and returning riders with hands-on experience in the basic skills of riding a motorcycle or scooter: straight-line riding, turning, shifting, braking and the mental skills needed for control. We provide the motorcycles too!
