  • requires students to use their own motorcycles
  • is a one-day, in-person course
  • includes a 4-hour e-course requirement, to be completed before the class
  • will meet CT requirements for a motorcycle-license waiver

Please note that this is not a learn-to-ride program. See our Basic Rider course if you are a beginner rider.
