Motorcycle Rider Skills Training
Jump Start Courses
If you want to get a head start on the Beginning Rider Course, but have never driven a motorcycle or used a manual transmission clutch; if you attempted a BRC but were overwhelmed......then Jump Start is for you! Jump Start provides three hours of instruction in a small class setting to focus on initial riding skills (working the clutch, starting/stopping, shifting gears). Motorcycles and helmets are provided. Participants must provide protective clothing (see BRC description). No tests, no completion cards, no pressure. Relax and experience the fun. BRCC Weyers Cave Campus Room D100, $79
