The Additional Practice BRC

---

This course, which is usually offered every 6-8 weeks, is designed for;

1. Those who have a valid & current NJ motorcycle permit or motorcycle license/endorsement and want a few hours of additional riding practice before riding on the street. You can use one of our training motorcycles or your own motorcycle. 
2. Those who took the BRC1 or the BRC2 and didn't pass the MSF Skill Test within the last 180 days and want a few more hours of additional riding practice before re-taking the MSF Skill Test. (It doesn't matter if you took the BRC1 or the BRC2 with us or with another motorcycle school). You can use one of our training motorcycles or your own motorcycle. You can't take or re-take the MSF Skill Test unless you took the BRC1 or the BRC2 within the last 180 days.

For this course, you are required to take the MSF Basic eCourse, the Supplemental eCourse, and the Tuesday night 4-hour live remote/virtual classroom session before attending the four to five hour practice riding session. The Basic eCourse, the Supplemental eCourse, and the Tuesday night 4-hour live remote/virtual classroom session all contain a variety of riding tips, techniques and strategies to help you when riding. If you haven't already taken these three sessions, you will receive a link in the confirmation email from Eventbrite that enables you to take the Basic eCourse for free as soon as you register for the APBRC. The links to the other two sessions will be in an email from The Riding Academy of NJ that is sent four days before the Tuesday night 4-hour live remote/virtual classroom session. If you have already taken these three sessions, they are optional.

THE MSF BASIC eCOURSE

As stated above, taking the MSF Basic eCourse is a pre-requisite for taking the APBRC. If you have an issue with the Basic eCourse, email the Motorcycle Safety Foundation at msfsupport@msf-usa.org or call them at (949) 727.3227 x3158 Monday thru Friday between 8:00am - 4:30pm Pacific Time. Tell them your name and the username/e-mail that you are using to log in to the eCourse.

• The MSF Basic eCourse is video intensive. A strong, steady network connection on a personal computer or mobile device is required. Broadband connections work best.
• Current versions of Chrome, Safari, and Firefox are supported. For Internet Explorer, version 10 or higher is supported.
• Be sure JavaScript is enabled on your browser.
• You will need access to a printer at the end of the course to print a completion certificate or take a picture of it. If you already took the Basic eCourse, just re-print your Completion Certificate. You can access it with this link; https://www.msf-usa.org/eCourse.aspx 

If more than 30 days have passed since you took the BRC1 and you haven't done any riding since taking the BRC1, we strongly suggest that you watch the Supplemental eCourse (or watch it again). Watching the Supplemental eCourse (or watching it again) will help you become reacquainted with the motorcycle controls and the basic physical riding skills. Our research indicates that if more than 30 days have passed since taking the BRC1 and no riding has been done since taking the BRC1, students forget how to use the motorcycle controls and forget the physical riding skills. "Use it or lose it" applies. The link to the Supplemental eCourse is also posted on the "Riding Tips" page of this website.

The APBRC consists of approximately four to five hours of practice riding. The practice riding exercises are some of the practice riding exercises in the BRC1. The course is held rain or shine. The maximum number of students permitted in the APBRC is 12. 

1. Your valid photo ID Driver License.
2. A motorcycle endorsement, a motorcycle license, or a valid & current NJ motorcycle permit unless you already took the BRC1 and are retaking the MSF Skill Test.
3. If you want to re-take the MSF Skill Test after the last practice riding exercise in the APBRC and you took the BRC1 or BRC2 with another motorcycle school in NJ, we need paperwork from that motorcycle school that indicates when you took the BRC1 or the BRC2, and what your score was on the BRC1 or the BRC2 Knowledge Test.
4. Your MSF Basic eCourse Completion Certificate or a picture of it. 
5. Your BRC1 or BRC2 Course Completion Card if you completed the BRC1 or the BRC2 and want the discount stated below.
6. Sturdy over-the-ankle footwear (leather preferred) to protect your ankle from injury.
7. Long non-flare denim pants or material of equivalent or better durability.
8. A long sleeve garment (shirt, sweat shirt, jacket).
9. Full-fingered gloves (leather preferred) to protect your hands from injury.
10. Eye-protection (glasses, sunglasses, goggles, face-shield).
11. Any DOT (Department of Transportation) motorcycle helmet. (We have some full-face motorcycle helmets with face-shields available if you do not have a motorcycle helmet).

You will not be allowed to ride the practice riding exercises unless you have all of the last six items listed above. (If you do not have all of the last six items listed above for the practice riding exercises, you will be dismissed from the class and you'll have to pay the full course price to attend another class).

The practice riding exercises are held at Montclair State University in parking lot 60 located at 35 Clove Rd in Little Falls behind the student bus platform and the bus garage. (From Rt. 46 East, make a right onto Clove Rd, which is just before Six Brother's Diner and McDonalds.
