Usually the course is scheduled over five days, Thursday to
Monday. Weekday sessions are held in the evening at the dealership
classroom. Saturday and Sunday sessions run all day and are taught
on a controlled range near the dealership. Attendance at each session
is mandatory — if you miss a class for any reason, you'll have
to reschedule so you can take the course again from start to finish.
The schedule may vary depending on the dealership, so be sure to contact
a participating dealer for class times and availability. |

You will receive your Motorcycle Safety Foundation
RiderCourseSM
completion card after passing a multiple-choice written knowledge
test and a riding skills evaluation.
Depending on which state you live in, this card may exempt you
from having to take the written and/or riding portion of your
motorcycle license test (be sure to contact your participating
dealership in your state for exemption information).
Depending on your insurance provider, the completion card can
also qualify you for a substantial discount - usually 10 to
15% - on motorcycle coverage. Check with your insurance company
for details.
