The California Motorcyclist Safety Program Motorcyclist Training Course (CMSP MTC) is designed for the novice rider with no (or limited) street-riding experience. This course includes both classroom and on-cycle instruction. You will learn fundamental skills required to operate the motorcycle and progress to street riding skills and strategies.

Topics covered include fear, understanding how motorcycles turn, proper cornering strategies, and emergency crash avoidance skills. The course is based on the most current research in rider safety and utilizes modern training methods.

Though designed for new riders, any rider that has not taken a motorcycle course will benefit from this clinic.

 

Motorcycles* and helmets are provided in this course. You are responsible to wear sturdy boots above the ankle, long sleeves, full fingered gloves (motorcycle specific or leather), and jeans with no holes. (Sweats and canvas shoes will not be allowed)
