RiderCourse Summary

Upon successfully completing either Basic RiderCourse BRC or Experienced BRC2 you will receive an MSF course completion card which entitles you to a 10% limited Massachusetts motorcycle insurance discount and tuition reimbursement through some manufacturer programs. 

Students must complete an online e-Course and exam (within 30 days prior to your riding session), back to back riding sessions and pass a riding skill evaluation to graduate from this course.

Students that are not Massachusetts residents are invited to take this course. However, there is no guaranty of reciprocity with your home state for licensing purposes. Please click on this directory of State Administrators for information about courses in your home state or reciprocity with Massachusetts. (Click on "Get Your License" for current reciprocity) 

Students under the age of 18 who want to qualify for licensing must obtain a motorcycle learner's permit and it must be held for a full six months prior to the application for the motorcycle endorsement or license. Students under 18 must have a driver's education certificate prior to the RMV issuing a motorcycle license. Please call our office with any questions on this matter.

These courses emphasize the risk involved with riding a motorcycle. These risks also exist while one practice rides during the course. Students should be able to, at minimum, balance and ride a bicycle.

Students unable to keep pace with the class or who pose a hazard to themselves or others may be dismissed from the class by the instructor.

There will be no refunds, pro-rated or in full, should they be dismissed by the instructor.
