Please read all notes below for important information about the motorcycle course before you register!
This course is designed for riders with real road time and mileage on a motorcycle. This course covers self-assessment, risk management, rider behavior, advanced cornering techniques, braking, throttle operation, riding posture, body position, tire traction, swerving, avoiding traps, traffic kill zones, and emergency stops. Working in small groups, students will learn how to create riding strategies with plenty of emphasis on the special skills and mental attitude necessary for dealing with traffic.
Student Eligibility:
- Students must posses a valid motorcycle license and have recent riding experience.
- Students must provide their own, street-legal motorcycle and proof of insurance and registration. Please note that if the motorcycle you plan to use is not registered under your name, you will need to bring a note from the registered owner of the motorcycle providing you with permission to use the motorcycle for the course.
- Required riding attire includes boots or shoes that cover the ankles, long pants, long sleeve shirt or jacket, full fingered gloves, DOT-approved helmet (three-quarters or full face), and eye protection if there is no face shield on the helmet.
A Note About Course Fees
Motorcycle course registreation fees are non-refundable. Once you complete your registration, your class fee will not be refunded unless WNC cancels your scheduled course. Please note that course fees will not be refunded if you are dismissed from your course for tradiness, failure to comply with instructions, failure to wear required riding gear, failure to make the required skill progression, or any other reason. RiderCoaches reserve the right to dismiss students from class, and the final authority to make these decisions rests with the RiderCoach assigned to the course.
If you need to switch to another section of the course, WNC reserves the right to apply a $10 switch fee. The ability to switch courses is dependent upon class availability and subject to the discretion of WNC. It is not guaranteed. The inability to switch courses does not entitle students to a refund of course fees.
Exceptions to this policy may be made in extenuating cirumstances. Please call the Continuing Education office at (775) 445-4210 with inquiries.
Inclement Weather Policy
Part or all of your course may be cancelled due to weather. While we make every effort to ensure courses happen as scheduled, there are some circumstances that require the cancellation of class for safety reasons. If your course is cancelled due to weather, we will make every effort to reschedule you into another available course, or to schedule a makeup course to cover the portion of the course that was cancelled. If we cannot get you into another course within the same calendar year, including if you are unavailable during the times offered, we will offer a full refund of your course fees. In the event that you do not respond to our attempts to reach out to you for rescheduling within a 5-day period following our initial contact, you will no longer be eligible for a refund.
