Motorcycle Safety Classes

Basic Rider Course

The Basic Rider Course (BRC), developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, is designed for beginners with little to no experience, though experienced riders may also find it beneficial.

The BRC includes approximately 16 hours of instruction, consisting of a 5-hour online eCourse and 11 hours of on-cycle training:

- Day 1: Low-risk, hands-on exercises to familiarize yourself with the motorcycle.

- Day 2: Skills practice and a final evaluation.

Motorcycles and helmets are provided. Successful completion of this course waives all testing requirements for a Class M endorsement if your completion card is presented to Wyoming Driver Services within two years of course date.

Requirements:

Be at least 15 years old on the day of the course. Students under 18 require a parental permission form signed in the presence of coaches.
Be able to ride a bicycle; the course does not teach basic balance or coordination. Students with balance or coordination problems may find this course difficult.
Wear the following protective clothing during on-cycle instruction:
- U.S. DOT-standard helmet (one will be provided if needed)
- Eye protection (face shield, goggles, or sun/eye/prescription glasses)
- Sturdy, over-the-ankle footwear
- Long-sleeved shirt or jacket (must cover to the wrist, no exposed skin)
- Long, abrasive-resistant, non-flare pants with no exposed skin (e.g., denim) NO SWEATPANTS, SPANDEX OR COTTON LEGGINGS
- Full-fingered gloves (leather preferred)

Fees:

- Wyoming State Residents: $50

- Non-residents (Out of State): $150
