Introductory Motorcycle Experience
Range Rules

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.

  1. Do not practice on a motorcycle without your RiderCoach's permission. First use only. 
  2. Always wear your protective gear when sitting or riding on your motorcycle.   
  3. Know the location of the engine cut-off switch and how to use the switch.    
  4. Cover the clutch at all times -- keep all four fingers curled over the clutch lever. This will enable you to squeeze the clutch lever immediately in an emergency, thereby cutting off power to the rear wheel.    
  5. Keep wrist down on throttle hand.   
  6. Always check to the rear, to the sides, and in front before moving your motorcycle.    
  7. Keep a safe margin of space between yourself and other students when practicing in a group. Don't bunch up.   
  8. If you have a riding or mechanical problem with your motorcycle, move it out of the path of other riders and consult your RiderCoach   
  9. If an emergency arises, stop and call for help from the RiderCoach   
  10. If you do not understand an exercise, ask for further explanation before attempting to perform it.
