New York State Motorcycle Safety Program and Motorcycle Safety Foundation present FREE SKILL Checks and Rider Skills Lab courses.
SKILL Checks consists of a MSF advanced drill that you can ride on your motorcycle. This is a great way to check and practice your skills.
If you feel you might have something to work on, you can sign up for the Rider Skills Lab.
Rider Skill Labs are classes being offered daily for braking, cornering and control skills.

This free, 30-minute experience gives aspiring riders the opportunity to experience the thrill of your first ride. MSF RiderCoaches guide you through basic motorcycle operation in a closed-course environment.
The gear (helmet and gloves), bikes, coaches, and fun are provided. (Please wear over-the-ankle footwear, long pants, and long sleeves or a jacket.) As a new rider, you will learn basic motorcycle operation including throttle, brake, and clutch functions.
