MSF Basic Rider Course®
This course is aimed at beginning riders 14 years and older. This is the Tennessee state certified licensing Motorcycle Rider Education program. The course provides five hours of classroom work and ten hours of practical riding in a controlled, off-street environment. Course materials are provided including Tennessee Motorcycle Handbook, student workbook and training motorcycles (125cc-350cc street legal). Some scooters are also available and the request for a scooter must be indicated on the registration form. A helmet can be provided if needed. Students must wear DOT approved helmet, eye protection, full-fingered gloves, over-the-ankle footwear with low heels, long pants (denim or sturdy fabric), long-sleeved shirt or jacket. A registration form must be completed, and students must be registered one week in advance. Classes are taught by certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructors who assist participants with proper techniques. Students must pass both a written and a riding evaluation to receive a State Certificate Waiver. A certificate of completion for the course exempts the student from taking the written and riding test when applying for a motorcycle license. Class is limited to 12 students.
