LEARN TO RIDE

PAMSP BASIC RIDER COURSE (MOTORCYCLE LICENSING COURSE)

Never ridden before? Don't sweat it. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course is designed to get you comfortable on a bike and give you the skills you need to ride with confidence. 

This course is made up of two parts. Eight to ten hours of classroom-style instruction and ten hours of hands-on riding exercises in a controlled, off-street environment on our newly paved training course. Basic Rider Courses run typically 2-3 days. Motorcycles are provided free of charge for your use during the course. In the classroom, you’ll learn about the different types of motorcycles, layout and operation of the basic controls, and how to become a safer, more responsible rider. You’ll then move to the riding range where your MSF-certified RiderCoach will guide you through the basic skills of straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning, gradually progressing to swerving and emergency braking.

When you pass the written test and riding skills evaluation you will receive an endorsement on your motorcycle permit making you a licensed to ride a motorcycle.

Click "View Details" on that class, there may be waitlist spots available! If there are waitlist spots available you will see a button on the right side.

If you don't see a "Sign Up For The Wait List" button? That means all of the slots have been filled.

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE! THERE'S 1 MORE OPTION!

If the class and wait list are full you can still show up during the class time and fill in if someone doesn't show up. 

You can take the 3 hour pre-course ahead of time at this website (https://www.msf-usa.org/ecourse.aspx)

LEARN TO RIDE FAQ

- How much does the Basic Rider Course Cost?

The Basic Rider Course is FREE!

- How long are the Basic Rider classes?

Classes range from 2-3 days. You will spend half your time in the classroom and the other half riding!

- Do I use my own motorcycle or need to buy a motorcycle for the course?

No, the Basic Riders Course uses motorcycles provided by the state. These motorcycles will range from 125cc to 500cc.

- What do I need to take the Basic Rider Course?

Your motorcycle learners permit, a full face or 3/4 DOT certified helmet (you can borrow one if you don't), long sleeves, jeans, boots that cover the ankle, and full finger gloves.

- How do I get my motorcycle learners permit?

Stop by your local DMV and ask to take the motorcycle learners permit test. If you pass the computer test you will be given an eye exam. If both are passed you will pay $10 and receive your permit that is good for 1 year!

- My permit is expired can I get a new one?

Yes! You can retest for your permit 3 years in a row. If you do not get your motorcycle license in those three years there is a waiting period before you can test to get your permit again. PennDOT has done this so riders can't continue renewing their permits year after year and never get their license.

- I am under 18 years old, can I take the Basic Riders Course?

If you have your motor vehicle drivers license (or permit) as well as your motorcycle riders permit you can take the Basic Riders Course. If you are under the age of 18 you must have 6 months of riding experience prior to getting your motorcycle license. If you take the Basic Riders Course prior to your 6 months of practice you will NOT receive an endorsement on your learners permit. You will have to come back once you are 18 or older OR have completed 6 months of riding practice with a licensed motorcycle rider.
