Practice Clinics

Critical Riding Skills Practice Clinic

This 2-hour clinic will help you further develop your quick stop braking and swerving skills on your own motorcycle. Many motorcycle crash studies indicate that these two critical riding skills were lacking - the vast majority of motorcyclists were not able to stop safely before hitting the car that pulled out in front of them or swerve around it. This clinic will help you refine these two critical riding skills.

This 2-hour clinic is conducted on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon at MSU's Lot 60 located at 35 Clove Rd in Little Falls. The price is $99. There is a $20 rebate if you took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's BRC1 or BRC2 with The Riding Academy of NJ. (Show your MSF completion card the day of the clinic to get the rebate).

Slow-Speed Riding Skills Practice Clinic

Requirements

1) You must take the MSF eCourse to attend a clinic. The MSF eCourse is a 5-hour (average time) asynchronous interactive online course which is a great tutorial or refresher of the physical and non-physical skills needed to ride a motorcycle safely, which you do at home, on your own, at your own pace. We suggest doing an hour a day. (This is the same eCourse requirement for taking the MSF BRC1, the MSF BRC2 LW, the MSF APBRC and the TBC with us).

When you complete the MSF eCourse, you will receive a Certificate of Completion with an ID#. (If you already took the eCourse, just re-print or download the Completion Certificate. You can access your eCourse Completion Certificate with this link; https://www.msf-usa.org/eCourse.aspx ).

If you haven't already taken the eCourse, as soon as you register for a clinic, you will receive a link in the confirmation email from Eventbrite that enables you to take the eCourse for free. You will need the Completion Certificate ID#.
