Experienced RiderCourse (ERC)

  • One-half day course
  • Use your own motorcycle and helmet
  • Qualifies graduates for insurance premium discounts with some motorcycle insurers

Even if you've been riding for some time, there's always something to learn.  Increasing numbers of seasoned riders are enrolling in the half-day Experienced RiderCourse to improve their skill, dexterity, judgment, and control.

You'll discuss with your peers how to balance the mental and physical aspects of safe riding, manage risk, increase visibility and optimize your lane position.  The Experienced RiderCourse also covers protective gear, rider responsibility, motorcycle inspection and care, the effects of alcohol and other drugs on riding, and includes an optional skill evaluation and knowledge test.

Using your own motorcycle, you'll put into practice the techniques of managing traction, stopping quickly, cornering and swerving.
