If you’ve been riding for a season — or for years — the Experienced Rider Course (BRC2) helps you strengthen skills, sharpen technique, and build confidence where it matters most.
Motorcycle safety reports show that 75% of motorcycle crashes involve experienced riders.
Not because they don’t know how to ride.
But because skill refinement often gets overlooked.
This course is designed for riders who already have some seat time and want to become more intentional, more precise, and more prepared on the road.
You’ll train on the motorcycle you actually ride, in a structured, supportive environment with a certified RiderCoach guiding you every step of the way.
No pressure. No ego. Just solid, practical training.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE ON THE RANGE:
This is a focused 6+ hour, half-day training session conducted in a controlled parking lot environment.
You’ll work directly on your own motorcycle and practice:
-
Smooth, controlled low-speed maneuvering
-
Quicker Straight-line braking
-
Swerving and obstacle avoidance

Cornering exercises requiring proper counter-steering

Exercises are adaptable, so everyone gets the right challenge — whether you’re building on years of riding or starting to feel comfortable on your first bike.
Speeds are higher than the Basic Rider Course, but the coaching is still steady, supportive, and structured. You’ll practice with purpose — and leave noticeably sharper.
