Intermediate Rider Courses 2009

Intermediate Rider Course (IRC)

 

 The IRC is designed for riders with previous experience who are returning to the sport or who have ridden for some time without a license. They may be returning riders who passed the BRC and yet does not have their own motorcycle or who would like additional training and practice before riding on the street, and for experienced dirt bike riders who want to start riding on the street.

 The course presents an overview of the fundamentals of safe, responsible motorcycling and provides the riders the opportunity to, renew skills and acquire knowledge important for safe street operation.  The IRC provides a training experience for riders who already have basic operational skills (straight line riding, shifting, stopping, clutch control) and who need or desire refinement of those skills to demonstrate the minimum competencies required for licensing purposes.

 The IRC consists of 8.5 hours of instruction with motorcycles and helmets furnished. Upon successfully completion of the course, completion card will be mailed to you; this card will waive the written and riding examination at the drivers’ license facility.
