Once we have received your registration, our operations team will send you a link to register and complete a Motorcycle Safety Foundation eCourse.  This course is free with your registration and required completion prior to the class start date. This eCourse is a self-paced course that will introduce you to the Fundamentals of Motorcycling.  We will re-enforce those fundamentals with riding exercises during the on-site portion of this offering.  You can also use the following link to view the Basic RiderCourse Handbook, which can be downloaded and saved for future reference.
