TRAINING RULES & CONTRACT

Adhere to the following rules and meet the required standards -- you are assured of completing and obtaining a MSF Completion Card.

1. It is a prerequisite that you are able to ride and balance a bicycle. [Inability to balance on two wheels is the primary reason for being counseled out of the course. At some point in your life you must have been able to ride a bicycle so you developed a two-wheel sense of balance].

2. The course has a schedule to maintain. If you miss a classroom session or range exercise, you will be counseled out of the course.

3. RiderCoach(s) are responsible for providing a safe and orderly learning environment. Any student who behaves recklessly, disrespectfully, or unruly during any phase of training you will be counseled out of the course.

4. A large portion of the classroom work is done unsupervised utilizing group learning techniques. To maximize the group’s learning effort, everyone within the group is responsible for asking questions and stimulating discussion to get the most out of the classroom material. Failure to contribute to your groups' learning (by using cell phones or being inattentive) will result in you being counseled out of the course.

5. You are required to wear the following protective gear during every range exercise:

-- Helmet (DOT approved)
-- Eye protection – face shield, glasses, sunglasses, or goggles, etc
-- Full fingered gloves
-- Long sleeve shirt or jacket
-- Long pants (no cuffs or bellbottoms)
-- Over the ankle boots or shoes
-- 2 piece rain-suit [available in case of rain... we ride, rain or shine]

6. During range exercises, individual coaching is provided to help you maximize your learning on the motorcycle. Each exercise has a maximum amount of time allotted for completion, and a minimum standard that must attained. If you cannot attain the standard within the allotted time, you will be counseled out of the course.

7. Each exercise builds on skills, knowledge, and confidence gained in previous exercises utilizing a building block approach to learning. If you regress (unable to execute a riding skill previously performed to standards), you will be counseled out of the course.

8. It is natural to be nervous about learning to ride a motorcycle. While some apprehension is expected (and normal), excessive fear or anxiety is not -- they lead to tenseness, learning and comprehension problems, and ultimately to mistakes that could endanger yourself and the other students. If a RiderCoach perceives fear/anxiety is limiting your riding ability or affecting the safe operation of the range, you will be counseled out of the course.

9. To attain a Motorcycle Safety Foundation completion card, you are required to pass a riding skills test on the range, a multiple-choice exam on safety issues in the classroom, and demonstrate an understanding of motorcycling safety issues and concerns to the Chief RiderCoach. The final decision to award a MSF Completion Card rests with the Chief RiderCoach, and all decisions are final.
