This course is the MSF Experienced RiderCourse (BRC2 LW). The BRC2 LW is a group lesson motorcycle safety training course. It is a practice course, a License Waiver course and a NJ-approved Defensive Driving course. The riding session of this course must be done on your own 2-wheel registered & insured motorcycle.

As mentioned above, this course qualifies as a NJ-approved Defensive Driving Course which entitles you to an insurance discount and a 2-point reduction if you have points on your Driver License. More information about the BRC2 is on the BRC2 page of our website. BRC2 page.

IF YOU ARE TAKING THIS COURSE FOR THE LICENSE WAIVER, YOU MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING 3 ITEMS;

1) A NJ Driver License

2) A valid & current NJ motorcycle permit (passed the NJMVC written test and the NJMVC eye test)

3) Use your own 2-wheel motorcycle for the riding session which must be registered, insured and greater than 232 cc.

As stated on the BRC2 page of our website, there are two segments or modules to this course.

Module 1 - you take a 5-hour (average time) Pre-Course Assignment called the MSF eP1x11 eCourse, which reinforces the basic riding skills and non-physical riding skiils needed to ride a motorcycle safely. The link to the MSF eP1x11 eCourse will be in the confirmation email/tickets you will receive from Eventbrite, our registration platform, as soon as you register for this course. (This is the same eP1x11 eCourse for the BRC1). You can also click MSF eCourse to access the link. If you already took the MSF eP1x11 eCourse, you do not need to take it again unless you want a refresher. Just reprint your eP1x11 eCourse Completion Certificate. More details about the MSF eP1x11 eCourse are on the BRC2 page of our website.

Module 2 - you attend approximately 5 hours of practice riding on your own 2-wheel motorcycle. More details about the riding session are on the BRC2 page of our website.

There will be a 1 1/2 hour remote/virtual/online Orientation Session on the Tuesday date posted for this course at 6:00 PM . This session will properly prepare you for Module 2, the riding session. It will cover the riding gear required for the riding exercises, questions about the MSF eP1x11 eCourse, the Liability Waivers that need to be signed before the riding session, the riding exercises, the Knowledge Test if you want the License Waiver, insurance discount and/or 2-point reduction, the Skill Test if you want the License Waiver, making an appointment with the NJ MVC to get your motorcycle endorsement, and answer any questions you may have. The link to the Orientation Session will be sent in an email three days before the Tuesday date posted for this course. A reminder email will be sent one day before the Tuesday date posted for this course. THE ORIENTATION SESSION IS ONLINE DONE AT YOUR LOCATION (YOUR HOME, YOUR OFFICE, ETC.). This email and additional informative emails are sent as automated group emails by Eventbrite. This session is optional if you took the BRC1, the BRC2 LW or the APRC with The Riding Academy of NJ and already attended it.

Our Refund Policy is very strict because we do not want to lose money on a class. Since we offer more benefits and features than all the other motorcycle safety training schools in NJ, we run on a very small profit margin and cannot afford to lose money. If you miss a class, can not make a class, or arrive late to attend a class, we can not just put you in another class for free. That's like buying two seats (one seat in each class) for the price of one seat.

If you have tickets to a sports game or concert and cannot make the event for whatever reason, you do not get to go to another game or concert for free.

We lose money on last minute cancellation/switching/rescheduling requests because we lose the ability to sell that seat to someone else on such short notice, and we lose money on the class.

We are very strict on having the proper riding gear for the riding sessions (the proper riding gear is posted on each course page) and arriving on time for the riding sessions because you can not miss any safety information once a riding session starts for liability reasons. These are MSF, State & insurance regulations for the motorcycle courses.

We are the only motorcycle school in NJ that offers refunds for certain exceptions. Check the Refund Policy for the other motorcycle schools in NJ.
