Motorcycle Safety Course - Basic

Registration is up and running for the 2009 motorcycle safety classes in Pierre and Fort Pierre. Go online to www.southdakotasafetycouncil.org and click on the motorcycle link to find all available classes in South Dakota. Registration is online only, by credit card. Space is limited, so if you have any interest at all, please register early! If you are new to motorcycling (scooters included), think you want to try motorcycling, or need a refresher after not riding for several years, you need to register for a BRC (Basic Rider Course) class. Cost is $75 for the Basic Rider Course. Motorcycles are furnished by Petersen Motors. Some of the reasons why everyone who rides should take these classes: 1) Learn how to SAFELY ride a motorcycle. 2) Most insurance companies will offer a discount on your premium when you receive your completion card. 3) If you purchase a new motorcycle or are a member of a motorcycle riding group, you can be re-imbursed the cost of the class fee. 4) If you successfully pass the course, you ARE NOT required to take the State motorcycle testing to get your motorcycle endorsment on your drivers license. You simply take your MSF completion card to the drivers licensing station, get your picture taken, pay your fee and you walk out with your new license with the motorcycle endorsment.
