WHAT CLASS SHOULD I SIGN UP FOR?

What class should you sign up for?  PRO offers a number of classes to choose based on your skill level.  The PRO course flow diagram shows the suggested class to sign up for based on your riding skill level.  The following is PRO’s definition of the rider’s skill level:

  • NOVICE : Someone who has little to no experience riding a two-wheeled vehicle, including bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles.  Also, riders that easily or quickly become nervous and/or anxious under minimal stress levels, just want to experience getting on a motorcycle, and/or want a slower pace to “learn how to ride” should consider starting here.
  • BEGINNER:  A rider that has minimal to a lot of riding experience, and that is comfortable on a on two-wheeled vehicle (including bicycles, scooters, & or motorcycles).  Knowledge/experience with a clutch is helpful.
  • EXPERIENCED: A rider that has extensive riding experience and good skill levels.  A focus on foundational skills is not a necessary objective.

Note: A student who takes and successfully completes a lower level course will get a discount off a higher level course if the student wishes to continue to advance their skills. For example, a student completes the “Learn to Ride” (LTR) course will get a discount off a BRC1 course.  This is PRO’s commitment to help the student progress along their motorcycle riding journey at the student’s pace.

BASIC RIDER COURSE (BRC1)

for Beginner or Intermediate Riders

Never ridden before?  Or, have experience but want to learn how to ride the right way?

The MSF Basic RiderCourse is designed for beginning riders of all ages.  Five (5) hours of computer-based training prepares you for eleven (11) hours over 2-3 days of hands-on riding exercises in a controlled, off-street environment on a paved parking lot.  You’ll gain critical skills/techniques and confidence in the operation of your motorcycle.

In the computer training, you’ll learn about the different types of motorcycles, layout and operation of the basic controls, and how to become a safer, more responsible rider.  On the range, and taught by a MSF-certified RiderCoach, you’ll learn the basic skills on riding a motorcycle, including slow-speed maneuvers (weaves, u-turns, & turns), straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning, gradually progressing to swerving, negotiating curves and emergency braking.

Upon successful completion, the student will earn a waiver for the road test portion of the DMV licensing requirements.  Also, some insurance companies may offer insurance premium discounts for those that pass.

for Experienced Riders

Already have some riding experience?  And, have your own bike that you’d like to learn how to ride more safely and effectively? 

The Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2) is for “experienced” riders, and is designed to get the rider comfortable on their own bike and hone their skills to ride with more confidence. It is similar to the BRC1 except speeds are higher and the rider uses their own motorcycle. The BRC2 is a 1-day course, and is an excellent refresher course for practicing and renewing riding skills.

Upon successful completion, the student will earn a waiver for the road test portion of the DMV licensing requirements.  Also, some insurance companies may offer insurance premium discounts for those that pass.


Note: The first two range exercises are “screening” exercises for the instructor to assess your skills. If you cannot fully and safely control your motorcycle or successfully complete these two screening exercises, you will be counseled out of the BRC2 for your safety and the safety of the other students. If you’d like to register for the BRC1 at that point, contact PROMCT;  PROMCT will apply a portion of your enrollment fee towards a BRC1 class.  If you have any reservations about your riding skills, PROMCT recommends signing up for the BRC1 course.

Want to learn on a scooter instead of motorcycle? *   You can with PROMCT!

THINGS TO KNOW

  • The same MSF BRC1 course training will be given, and the same completion card will be given at completion
  • Because the scooter does not have the same mechanical features of a motorcycle (clutch, shift gear), the scooter student will not be able to practice all of the same motorcycle control techniques that are being taught
  • Scooter
    • Ride a Training site scooter  (only 1 available per class – call  PROMCT to confirm availability), or…
    • Bring your own scooter of 50cc or higher

To that end, each Rider Coach will work with each student based on their needs.  However, if a student exhibits riding tendencies that result in an unsafe and risky environment to himself/herself or to others, the training school and the Rider Coach have the obligation to remove the student from the range and end the training session for that student.

For specific policy details, go to the “Counsel Out” policy in the policy section of the “ABOUT” menu.

I have a motorcycle license and have rode motorcycles before. Do I have to attend the classroom session?
Yes.  All course components must be completed for successful passing of the course.
Will I have difficulty riding the motorcycle?
Motorcycling is an awesome and fun experience, and absent special and unique situations, most people can safely ride a motorcycle.  With proper technique and mental awareness, a confident rider can ride most any motorcycle of any size.

However, there are some considerations that you can assess about yourself that will make the experience easier or more difficult. A positive response to the following questions will set you up for success:

  1. Can you ride a bicycle?
    This is a prerequisite for enrolling in our Basic RiderCourse and generally a good gauge of your ability to maneuver a motorcycle.  Bicycling, like motorcycling, is a physical activity that involves balance and coordination.  If you’ve not ridden a bicycle in a while, it is highly recommended that you get plenty of riding in before coming to the range.
  2. Am I mentally ready to ride a motorcycle?
    Riding a motorcycle is not for everybody.  There is inherent risk, and some people are fearful or anxious.  Fear and anxiety are not helpful emotions when riding a motorcycle.
  3. Am I physically able to ride a motorcycle?
    There are certain heights that make riding some motorcycles more difficult.  If you are unable to put your feet firmly on the ground while on the seat, the overall operation is more risky and uncomfortable.

Are Scooters available for range training?

DMV & LICENSING

Invisible
Will I get my license if I pass the course?
The successful completion of your BRC1/BRC2 course results in a waiver for the skills/road test portion of the Wisconsin Dept of Transportation (WISDOT) licensing requirements.  Additionally, if you don’t have your temporary permit, there is a knowledge test administered at the DMV.

When you complete your course, you will be issued a MSF Completion Card as proof of successful completion.

  • PRO Motorcycle Training will notify the WISDOT within 2 business days after card issuance that you passed the course;  at that time, you can visit any DMV center and get your Class “M” Endorsement (provided other licensing requirements are met).
  • If you arrive at the DMV prior to PRO Motorcycle Training notifying the DMV of your passing the MSF course, your MSF Card can be used as proof of your successful passing of the course.  This is your card; do not give it the DMV agent.

I have an out-of-state license. Can I still take the course?
Yes. *

* If taking the class as a waiver for your home state’s licensing requirements, some states do not accept Wisconsin-issued BRC completion cards.  Click here to see the restrictions for your state (page 7, column 5).

Where can I get info on licensing and training requirements?

For information on motorcycle licensing and training requirements for your state, please contact either a local training provider in your area, your local licensing agency (such as the Department of Motor Vehicles), or your State Motorcycle Safety Coordinator.
