Cliff's and the CONREP
(Connecticut Rider Education Program)


CURRENTLY ALL CLASSES AT CLIFF'S ARE FULL

Cliff's Cycle Revolution is thrilled to be part of the Connecticut Rider Education Program and to be involved with motorcycle skills training.

All BRC classes (classroom and range riding) will be conducted at our new facility - 465 Federal Rd in Brookfield CT starting May 2008. IRC and ERC classes will be conducted at Naugatuck Valley Community College (NVCC). Administration (sign up etc) for ALL classes will be handled by a site manager based out of NVCC.

For class registration please email Naugatuck Valley Community College or call 203-575-8123 and register today.

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:

  • Be able to ride a bicycle.
  • Provide a signed waiver.
  • Provide a signed parental permission slip (if under 18)
  • Have a valid driver's license (does not have to be motorcycle license)
  • Wear a DOT approved helmet in class, with eye protection (built in or glasses)
  • Wear full fingered gloves, preferably leather
  • Wear long sleeved shirts or jackets
  • Wear sturdy pants (no shorts)
  • Wear footgear that covers your ankles
  • Be in a proper state of mind.

    All sites in CT loan helmets to the class. Since class is conducted in ALL weather conditions (except for icing or snow), you are advised to bring: Wet weather gear-rain jackets, rain pants, etc. Cold weather gear-warm jackets, sweaters, etc. Water or other beverages. Lunch/snacks as necessary
    **Please note that any unsafe acts will result in dismissal of the student.**

    BENEFITS
    Besides learning how to ride, it may entitle students with passing grade to receive an insurance discount on their motorcycle insurance of 10%. (See your agent for specific details.)
    DMV will waive the CT riding portion of your Motorcycle License application for the first 60 days after you pass the course. You don't need to own (or borrow) a bike to get your license!
    Learn how to enjoy yourself more when you ride. Meet new friends.

  • Intermediate Rider Course (IRC)
    Designed for riders with some riding experience and a motorcycle operator’s learners permit. Students use their own motorcycle. Graduates receive a waiver of any additional. Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicle on-cycle license tests.
    Experienced Rider Course (ERC)
    Intended for licensed riders with a minimum of six months and six hundred miles riding experience. Students use their own motorcycle.

    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.
