The Experienced Rider Course is a safety course designed for an experienced motorcyclist who wants more than the basics. This course teaches deeper fundamentals of riding to riders that already have their endorsements. Many organized group riders require this course before experienced bikers can register with them.

The Experienced Rider Course is usually a half-day course given on a weekend. Bikers use their own motorcycle and helmet. The course combines classroom time with time spent riding the motorcycle. Buckfire & Buckfire does not offer this course. To see what courses are available visit the Michigan Secretary of State Motorcycle Safety Program Courses.

There are several benefits to taking an Experienced Rider Course. The course discusses balancing the mental and physical aspects of safe riding, managing risk, increasing visibility, and optimizing your lane position. The Experienced Rider Course also covers topics like protective gear, rider responsibility, motorcycle inspection and care, and the effects of alcohol and drugs on riding. The course concludes with an optional skill evaluation and knowledge test.

The Basic Rider Course is a motorcycle safety course designed for inexperienced and new riders who want to get their motorcycle endorsement on their driver’s license. This course is “driver’s ed” for motorcycles.

The Basic Rider Course is approximately 15 hours. It consists of a classroom component that builds on lessons from driver’s ed about the rules of the road and adds a discussion of how motorcycles can be operated so that cars are less likely to ignore them. There is also a range riding component that is used for practice riding.

The Basic Rider Course is usually given over the course of a single weekend, although individual sponsors of a course might offer different options. As part of the course, the sponsor will administer a written driver’s knowledge test about the rules of the road and a rider’s skill test in which the biker demonstrates his ability to handle turns, stop and start, and safely ride a motorcycle. Buckfire & Buckfire does not offer this course. To see what courses are available visit the Michigan Secretary of State Motorcycle Safety Program Courses.

After completing the Basic Rider Course, a new rider will be able to present the results of these tests to the Secretary of State’s office and will be able to receive a motorcycle endorsement as long as he or she satisfies the other requirements for the endorsement.

To obtain a motorcycle endorsement for your driver’s license, adults must pass a road skills test. Adults may elect to pass an motorcycle rider skills test administered by a third party approved by the Secretary of State. This test will examine basic vehicle control and crash avoidance skills to evaluate a biker’s ability to handle safe and hazardous traffic situations.

The test will be scored on the biker’s ability to select safe speeds to perform maneuvers, choose the correct path and stay within fixed boundaries or lanes, complete normal and quick stops, and complete normal and quick turns and swerves.

Buckfire & Buckfire does not offer motorcycle courses. You can see a listing of locations which offer a road skills test by visiting the Secretary of State’s Road Skills Test Locator.
