Motorcycle Classes
Course Information
The Motorcycle BRC consists of 6 hours of classroom instruction and 10
hours of actual riding. Experienced motorcycle instructors are trained
and certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and approved by
the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
To complete the Basic Rider Course, students must attend all classroom and scheduled range sessions.
Some insurance companies give a discount for passing the beginning motorcycle rider course!
Attendance
Please arrive on time (or early) for class. Because of the long waiting
list for motorcycle classes, two standby students will be assigned
by LTC. The standby students will be accepted to fill the positions
of students who arrive late for the first class.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive the MV3575 Motorcycle Skills Test Waiver Form (yellow copy). This form is proof that you have successfully passed the Motorcycle Road Test. This form should then be taken to any DMV to apply for your Class M endorsement on your driver's license.
Required Equipment (Note: LTC provides the motorcycles for class. Helmets
and gloves are available, but we recommend you bring your own if possible.)
- Sturdy boots or high–top (leather) athletic shoes (over the ankle).
- Denim pants (or other heavy material) – shorts are NOT allowed.
- Long–sleeved jacket or shirt (denim or other heavy fabric).
- Rain gear in case of inclement weather.
- Eye protection (glasses or goggles).
- Leather gloves – unlined, but not too thin. (Full finger)
- Helmet – DOT, Snell or ANSI approved. Three quarter or full face helmet; half helmets are not permitted.
Pre–waiver Authorization
If any of the following situations exist a skills test waiver must be
obtained at the time of registration:
- You are under the age of 18
- You have failed the test two times
- You have applied for and used three six-month permits and never made an appointment and passed the skills test
