CES 6519 - Basic Rider Course

If you have minimal experience operating a motorcycle, this course is for you. Develop your basic riding skills as you learn proper turning, shifting and braking. You have approximately 16 hours of instruction - 4 in the classroom and 12 on the range. Motorcycles are provided for student use. You must furnish your own protective gear: DOT-approved helmet, boots that cover the ankle, full-fingered gloves, long pants, long-sleeved jacket or shirt, eye protection and, if needed, rain gear. Upon successful completion of this course, the Secretary of State will waive the riding skills test required for a cycle endorsement. However, expect a short written test to be given at the time of endorsement application. You must be at least 15 years of age to take this class. If you are under 18 years of age, your parent or legal guardian must sign a waiver that will be given to you the first day of class. The waiver must be signed and returned to the instructor before you will be allowed to ride a motorcycle on the range.*
