Your drivers license (or other form of id if over 24 and not licensed) is required to be verified prior to class participation.  If the drivers license is unable to be verified, you will not be able to participate in the class.  Please make sure you have it with you the first day.  To participate in the classroom discussion, all that is required is your enthusiasm.  The classroom discussion does require some reading and asks for class participation.  If you have difficulty with the English language or if you have a reading or speaking disability, please inform your instructor upon arriving the first class day.  He will work with you as is feasible and reasonable to help you get through the material.

In order to ride the training motorcycles you must have the following equipment:

• Over the ankle footwear (athletic shoes are allowed so long as ankles are covered; heavy bulky boots and/or high heels and soles are strongly discouraged)

• Long pants

• Long sleeves (light weight long sleeve shirts are recommended in the warmer months, riding jackets can be hot and uncomfortable)

• Full-fingered gloves (cotton garden gloves and such are ok for the course)

• Eye protection (sunglasses recommended, full face helmet with a shield is ok)

• DOT approved helmet (loaner helmets are available - sizes XS to XXL)

Insurance demands there be no exceptions to the above requirements.  You will be inspected before riding, so please come prepared with the necessary equipment.  You will not be allowed to ride without the required equipment.

It is suggested that you bring a cooler with drinks and refreshments.  Water and Gatorade type drinks are suggested while Coke and high sugar type drinks are discouraged.  A portable seat for use during breaks is recommended.  Sun block and rain gear are optional.  Students very often say they wished they had taken the advice for a seat to have during breaks.  You will be glad to have it.

If the summertime heat and humidity are difficult for you to handle, or if you have health concerns, please consider taking the class in the non-summer months.  You will be outside in direct sunlight with helmets and long sleeves often sitting on a bike with a hot engine running between your legs.  If you are not used to being outdoors for extended periods of time or if you are not in good physical condition, it is strongly suggested that you register for the class in the cooler months.  Refunds are not given to students who are unable to complete the course.

If you are under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must sign your course waiver forms and a Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor form.  Please click the appropriate link to access the forms in pdf and bring them with you to class.  Or, your parent or guardian can accompany you the first day and sign the forms.  You will not be allowed to ride a training motorcycle without the forms properly executed.
