BASIC requirements

motorcycle safety training courses emphasize development of both the mental and physical skills
crucial to responsible motorcycle operation

age minimum

  • 18 years of age.​

  • Age 16 or 17 IF the minor has a valid driver’s license AND a parent/legal guardian accompanies the minor to check-on on Day 1 to provide written authorization of consent. Without proper authorization, the minor will not be allowed to participate and no refund will be given.

height minimum

  • Riders must be able to place both feet flat on the ground, therefore, the recommended minimum height for riding is 5'. If you're unsure whether you meet the height requirement, you can contact us BEFORE your register. We can schedule a fitting using one of our motorcycles to confirm your fit. There are no refunds if you register and are then unable to meet the height requirement at class check-in.

physical agility

  • Students must be able to ride a bicycle and possess the physical stamina, mental alertness, motor skills and coordination necessary to safely operate a motorcycle, including the ability to stabilize and push the motorcycle from a standing position. If an instructor determines a student is unable to meet the requirements, the student will be counseled out of the class to ensure everyone's safety. There are no refunds when a student is counseled out or otherwise unable to complete the course.

driver's license

  • Students must present a valid (NYS or out-of-state) driver’s license at check-in and are required to have it on-hand for the duration of  training. 

  • Driver's licenses must be current, valid and without any suspension, revocation or DUI restrictions.

  • ID cards and learner permits do not meet our requirements to participate. ​​​​

motorcycle permit

  • Beginner courses. A NYS motorcycle learner's permit is not required, however one will be required to meet the NYS DMV requirements for motorcycle licensing.

  • Intermediate courses. Students must have a minimum of 40 hours riding experience with at least 10 hours of experience riding in medium- to high-volume traffic and possess a valid NYS motorcycle permit. â€‹

  • Advanced courses. Students must have a minimum of 1,000 hours riding experience in diverse traffic situations and possess a valid NYS motorcycle license.​

timely arrival & preparation

  • Students are responsible for arriving by the designated course start time, fully prepared and in possession of all necessary course documentation and approved safety gear. No refunds or credits will be given if a student arrives late or fails to meet all course participation requirements.

general safety

  • Motorcycle safety training involves inherent risks. To participate, students must agree to comply with all safety instructions, procedures, and instructor directives throughout the course. Failure to comply with safety requirements or instructor directives will result in immediate removal from the class, and no refund will be issued.
