Beginner course
learn the basics
The Beginner rider training course is an entry-level program designed for individuals with limited motorcycle riding experience. The course combines a prerequisite online module with a comprehensive two-day hands-on training course, teaching students the fundamentals for safe and responsible motorcycle riding. Training motorcycles are provided for participation in the Beginner RiderCourse.
Motorcycling requires focus, discipline, and sound judgment. Under the guidance of certified instructors, students participate in a sequence of riding exercises to learn the essentials of motorcycling - straight-line riding, smooth stopping, precise gear shifting, effective turning techniques, swerving, and emergency braking.
The course structure and performance standards are designed to ensure that every rider develops the skills necessary to ride safely and responsibly on public roads. As students practice and meet each objective, they progress to the next exercise. Students who successfully complete the exercises and pass the riding skill evaluation qualify for a waiver of the NYS DMV Motorcycle Road Test. There is no guarantee of successful completion.
