BASIC RIDER COURSE

THE BRC CONSISTS OF:
• 5 hours of classroom-style, guided group-study, which includes the Florida State-required Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course, followed by a Knowledge Test, and
• 10 hours of RiderCoach instructional riding on our SEFMSS private motorcycle range, followed by a Riding Skills Evaluation.

SEFMSS has a beautiful, smooth paved riding range in Hialeah, in a closed, controlled, motorcycle-training-only environment.

SEFMSS provides each rider with a professionally maintained motorcycle and a DOT compliant helmet for use during the BRC free of charge.

In the classroom, facilitated by our SEFMSS professional MSF-certified, FRTP-licensed RiderCoaches, you will learn about various motorcycle types, the primary & other controls for street motorcycles, basic operation, riding protective gear, riding techniques and road surfaces, and how to become a safe and more alert, skilled, responsible motorcyclist.

On the range, the BRC trains you on SEFMSS ‘street motorcycles’ (scooters are available if preferred). Our RiderCoaches will guide you through basic skills of straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, typical roadway turns, slow-speed tight-turns, weaves, swerves, gradually progressing to emergency stops in a curve and emergency braking.

* * *
Successful completion of the BRC requires passing the classroom Knowledge Test (25 multiple choice questions) and Riding Skills Test (5 separate skill-sets are tested). Graduation concludes with your Course Completion Card handed to you by your RiderCoach, signifying a milestone in your own development of safe riding techniques.

Then, two days later and before you ride on public roadways, you need to go to the FLHSMV with the required identification, to obtain your new Florida Driver License with the Motorcycle Endorsement!
