Motorcycle Rider Skills
Course fee: $250
(Advance registration is required; spaces fill quickly. )
For additional information or to register, contact the
Montgomery Rider program
director, Dee Gleason, at
(931) 648-2208 weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
This three-day course provides the entry-level skills for new
riders to begin practicing and developing mental and motor
skills important for safe street operation. Students receive
approximately 10 hours of classroom instruction and 10 hours of
practical riding on a paved area away from street traffic. The
course concludes with a written, multiple-choice knowledge test
and a riding skill evaluation.
Motorcycles are provided. Helmets can be provided with advance
notice. All riding must be done with proper riding gear, which
minimally includes:
- helmet (full-face helmets are recommended)
- eye protection
- sturdy, over-the-ankle footwear
- long-sleeved shirt or jacket and sturdy pants
- full-fingered gloves (preferably fitted).
Students must have the ability to ride a bicycle and may be
asked to demonstrate this skill at the start of class.
Parent(s) or legal guardian of students under 18 (minimum age is
15) must sign a waiver at the first class meeting providing
permission for their child to attend, contact information and
authorization to administer first aid in the event of an
emergency.
Only those students who display successful mastery of all
required riding exercises and pass the written exam will receive
a satisfactory rating for the class. As with any college course,
there is no guarantee, real or implied, that students will be
able to pass this course.
Upon satisfactory completion of the written knowledge test and a
riding skill evaluation, students receive a Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF) completion card, valid for three years.
Registration for this class does not guarantee successful
completion of either this test or the riding skill evaluation.
The MSF
card serves as a license test waiver in most States. In
Tennessee a license waiver is issued valid for one (1) year.
Transfers and cancellations must be made before 4 p.m. on the
Friday preceding the class start date. Neither transfers nor
refunds for cancellations will be allowed less than one week in
advance of the class start date. Students who fail to attend
their scheduled class will forfeit all fees.
