Part of the course has you riding a motorcycle on an MSF approved range. There are rules that apply to the riding exercises and these are designed to ensure a safe learning environment. You must abide by the rules provided to you during the course. Do not practice on a motorcycle without your RiderCoach 's permission. First use only. - Always wear your protective gear when sitting or riding on your motorcycle.
