We Proudly use the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s (MSF) Basic Rider Course (BRC), Basic Bike Bonding and Ultimate Bike Bonding training curriculums. MSF has been training new riders since 1972 and the BRC is known worldwide as the “Standard” for beginner motorcycle training. This training will give you the basic mental and physical skills needed for riding and establish a solid foundation to build on. Further, in Indiana, successful completion also earns you a motorcycle Endorsement without further testing requirements.

Be sure to bring a copy of your e-course certificate.

Dress for success with sturdy pants without holes, footwear that covers your ankles, full finger gloves, long sleeves, eye protection and of course your DOT Approved Helmet.

This is a complete course from beginning to end.

Everyone at M Y Motorsports is passionate about motorcycles and sharing that with others. If at any time a Coach deems that it is unsafe for a student to continue, either for the safety of others or of themselves, the student may be asked to discontinue the course. These decisions are not made easily or often. Every Coach has years of experience, and they coach these courses because they want you to be safe and successful most of all.

Here are the answers to the most frequent questions:

What is The Basic Rider Course (BRC)? The curriculum has been developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation to coach a new rider through the basics of riding and to break the bad habits of seasoned riders.

I don’t have a lot of experience can I take this class? Yes, however, please know that although this course is designed to be basic and for beginners it is not designed to teach you how to balance a motorcycle. You must be able to balance and ride a bicycle prior to your arrival.

I am under 18 can I still take this course? Yes. You must have your parent or guardian in person and present at the first training session.

I have been riding for years, is this course still right for me? Yes! Although some of the initial riding exercises may be a little slow for you, we constantly hear from students with years of experience say, “I’m so glad I took this course, not only did I learn a lot, I also broke a ton of bad habits! I wish I would have taken it years ago!”. It is a Basic course, but ensuring your basic skills are the best they can be only sets yourself up for a successful and safe riding future.

Do I need to own a motorcycle? No, you do not need to own a motorcycle all motorcycles will be provided.

Can I use my own motorcycle? No, you must use the motorcycles that we provide for you.

How long does the course take? The Basic Rider Course consists of an initial 5-hours in a self-paced online course and is followed by 2 half days of “On Motorcycle” training.

What is covered during The Basic Rider Course? First, we begin with online training (called the eCourse) where we’ll cover the basics including; operations, selecting riding gear, risk management and risk mitigation, street riding strategies and more. Then we’ll take what you’ve learned and put it to practical use on the range. On the range you’ll develop skills in shifting, accelerating, braking, cornering and lane changing through low-speed maneuvering, all in approximately 10 hours. Finally, you’ll take a riding test covering exactly what you’ve been taught throughout the previous exercises to wrap up the training.

What should I wear to class? Proper motorcycle riding gear is a Must: sturdy pants such as jeans without holes, footwear that covers your ankles, full finger gloves, long sleeve shirt or jacket, eye protection and of course your DOT Approved Helmet. Dress in layers and be prepared for all types of weather (including rain). Due to Health and Safety regulations we will not provide helmets.

What if the weather is bad? We do train in the rain. So, unless there are unsafe conditions, which are rare, class will go on as scheduled. Be prepared for hot, cold, wind, and rain. If it is safe to be on the range the class will continue as scheduled.

After this course do I have to take the test at the BMV? In Indiana, and through us, this course provides a waiver of the written and riding licensing tests. This means after completing this course you will be eligible to receive your endorsement without further testing. For students taking this course that are not Indiana residents check with your motor vehicle licensing agency for their specific requirements

1. POLICIES:
2. REFUNDS: Course fees are NOT refundable of transferable. Please note that even though the BRC is designed for novice riders and riders without previous motorcycling experience, not all participants are successful. We try hard to make you successful but not being successful, is not a reason for a refund.
3. RESCHEDULING POLICY: A one-time class change can be made provided; the participant provides notification to us no less than 14 days prior to the date of the original class. When approved, the participant will have the option to reschedule into a class of their choosing so long as there are open seats available. All transfers must be made and completed within the same training year. Finally, we will not be make a refund of the initial class costs.
4. CLASS CANCELATIONS: It is rare, but Classes can be cancelled for a few reasons;
  1. There is a minimum number of participants needed in order to conduct a class. If there are not at least 3 participants signed up for a given class at least 5 days prior to the class start date, that class will not be conducted. Participants that were signed up prior to the start date will be given the option to be transferred to another date of their choosing or be provided a refund.
  2. If Rider Coach determines that it is too dangerous to continue the course. It is a rarity but has happened that the weather has become so severe that training couldn’t continue. If this happens, we will do all we can to coordinate a time with you finish the training from the point of where the training was stopped OR get you into another class.
5. WEATHER: We do train in the rain and the cold so please dress appropriately. Classes will be stopped for lightening or severe weather, only while the severe weather is in the vicinity. After the weather has passed classes will be continued.
6. UNDER 18: If you are under 18 years old your parent of guardian must be present to sign your waiver forms at the beginning of the class.
7. CLASS TIMES: BRC classes are normally conducted over two days. Each day from 8 am to 1pm OR 2pm to 7 pm. These times are estimated: weather and a host of other things will ultimately determine the end time. If you have to leave prior to the end of the class, you won’t be able to meet all of the objectives and therefore won’t be successful and your success is what we are striving for!
8. * You must have an Indiana Driver’s License, State ID or be on Military Orders in order to receive the $199 rate the cost of all others is $369
9. We strive for your success and have better than a 90% student success rate. However, sometimes students are not successful in completing the course. Safety is our primary focus. The riding portion of the course is designed using a “stair step” learning process. In each exercise, objectives are presented and practiced, those objectives are then incorporated into the following exercises along with new objectives. The exercise objectives must be met in each exercise in order to move on to the next exercise. In addition, if a student becomes a hazard (dangerous) to themselves or others, they will also not be allowed to move forward with the class.
