Entry Level Safety Course

The RSI Entry Level Motorcycle Safety Course is designed for beginning riders of all ages and uses a curriculum that meets standards established by the BMV. Five hours of classroom instruction prepares you for 10 hours of practical riding exercises in a controlled, off-street environment. Motorcycles are provided free of charge for your use during the course.

To become a safer, more responsible rider, your instructors will also discuss:

• Types of motorcycles
• Motorcycle layout and operation of the basic controls
• Types of safety gear worn for protection and comfort
• How alcohol and other drugs impair a rider's ability

Next, you'll move to the riding range and your instructor (an experienced motorcyclist, who meets the standards established by the BMV in motorcycle safety and education) will start you off with straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning. You'll gradually progress to swerving and emergency braking.

The course concludes with a knowledge exam and a riding-skill evaluation. If you have successfully passed both exams, there's no need to visit a branch to get your endorsement. It will be available to apply to your license online.
