The following courses were developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They address issues raised from studying motorcycle crashes and identifying skills absent in the operators of the motorcycles. Safety is the key factor.

Basic Rider Course (BRC)
An introductory course intended for a new rider with little or no experience (although some veteran riders have found that they learned more than expected). Motorcycles are provided for on-cycle training. Graduates receive a waiver of any additional, Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicle, on-cycle license tests.

The introductory course requires no experience and we provide a motorcycle for you. You cannot ride your own motorcycle, even if you have one.
The course consists of six hours of classroom and at least 11 hours of on-cycle instruction. ALL SESSIONS MUST BE COMPLETED TO PASS THE CLASS.

A knowledge test and an on-cycle skills test are also required for passing the class in Connecticut, when you pass, DMV will waive their on-cycle test! (You still have to pass their knowledge test and pay the fee.)

PREREQUISITES
In order to participate, CONREP requires every rider to be prepared; specifically you must:

The experienced rider course is a one-day course designed to improve rider skills in braking, evasive maneuvers and turning. It provides the experienced motorcyclist with "street strategies" necessary for survival. The course consists of a full day of both classroom and on-cycle instruction on the student's own motorcycle, usually with a morning classroom session of 3-4 hours and an afternoon riding session of 4 hours.

Stayin’ Safe is best known for its established on-street training tours that are conducted in a growing number of locations from just west of Washington, DC to California. But we also offer custom training tours for small groups in virtually any location around the country. For those wanting private, one-on-one training, Stayin’ Safe is able to put together special training sessions in each of our established tour areas or, for those willing to cover instructor travel expenses, in virtually any location.

Here’s what we do ... Stayin’ Safe provides real world, on-road training. Regardless of which training program you choose, our training programs are similar in that they offer riders of nearly every motorcycle type and experience level a fun opportunity to learn visual strategies and techniques for smoother cornering and safer riding on twisty, scenic roads. With a target ratio of three students for each instructor, we conduct our training primarily on mountain roads, in rural settings and smallish towns with limited riding on divided highways and in urban environments (although we do have customized programs available for both).

And here's how we do it ... Using one-way radio communication, instructors provide coaching in real-world situations. This approach enables riders to apply new visual strategies and to sharpen cornering and braking skills en route in real time. In addition to the real-time coaching, our instructors conduct “chalk talks”, creating a virtual classroom along the roadside. These breaks provide opportunities to illustrate concepts and address any questions participants may have.
