Motorcycle Homepage Class Information
For the riding portion of the course, students must provide protective gear.
The protective gear consists of:
- Full coverage or three-quarter DOT-approved motorcycle helmet and eye protection.
- Sturdy over-the-ankle footwear.
- Long non-flare denim pants or material of equivalent or better durability.
- Long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
- Full-fingered gloves preferably leather.
Students will not be permitted to ride without this protective gear.
Helmets are available if needed. Training motorcycles are provided. Training will be conducted on the Virginia Western Community College Campus, in Webber Hall, Room W121. Students should park in front of the building between the white lines.
The Instructor has the final authority in determining if a student shall be permitted to participate in the riding portion of the course.
There is a knowledge and a riding skills test at the end of the course.
Passing these two tests earns the student a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Completion Card
and a licensing waiver, subject to Virginia DMV age requirements.
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation certifies our Instructors/RiderCoaches.
