The Basic RiderCourse 2 (Experienced rider course) is offered to experienced motorcyclists, of all ages, who own and operate a motorcycle. Riders should have at least 6 months of riding experience and 3000 miles riding. The BRC2 was developed to address the critical skills and knowledge needed for relatively low risk, enjoyable on-street motorcycling.
The program consists of a 1 day 6 to 7 hour session of training and practice on your motorcycle on our MSF approved range, under the watchful and helpful eye of a trained instructor.
Riders must come to class with a current SC Riders permit to qualify to test for the SC motorcycle endorsement. If a rider has been denied a renewal by the DMV due to too many renewals, we can help with your testing.
A course completion card is provided to each student that could provide a discount on motorcycle insurance with many providers & many retailers and online sites will offer you discounts or free shipping just of mentioned you are an MSF graduate. Lastly, we conduct the SC motorcycle rider’s skill test at the end of class. Successful riders earn their SC motorcycle license endorsement. Also, the SC DMV accepts this course as a “points reduction class” (Driver’s safety class) and with course completion, so graduates could have up to 4 points removed from their SC driver’s license.
