Gulf Coast Motorcycle Safety, L.L.C.

Information and Requirements
* Motorcycle and helmet provided
* Qualifies graduates for insurance premium discounts with some motorcycle insurers.
The Basic RiderCourse is aimed at beginning riders of all ages. A minimum of seven hours classroom instruction
prepares the student for at least eight hours of practical riding in a controlled, off-street environment, typically a parking lot.
Motorcycles and helmets are included in your course fee. Most motorcycles used in the course are loaned by local dealers.
In this course, you'll learn how to operate a motorcycle safely, with a lot of emphasis on the special skills and mental
attitude necessary for dealing with traffic.
Your RiderCoaches are certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. We'll start you off with straight-line riding, turning,
shifting and stopping. You'll gradually progress to cornering, swerving and emergency braking. In the classroom you'll learn
about the different types of motorcycles, their controls, and how they operate. The RiderCoaches, all experienced
motorcyclists, will advise you on what to wear for comfort and protection. You'll find out how alcohol and other drugs affect
your ability to ride safely. A very important segment of the course will show you how to create your own strategy for riding in
traffic, and dealing with critical situations. The course concludes with a knowledge test and skill evaluation. You'll smile with
satisfaction as the RiderCoach hands you the course completion card.
Requirements:
We require you to have a valid driver's license, over the ankle, sturdy footwear, sufficient gloves for motorcycle riding, and
protective eyewear if your helmet does not have a face shield. We have helmets to provide you with but if you choose one
that does not have a face shield, you need to have eye protection. If you have any questions about these requirements,
please call 251-442-7612.
Cancellation Policy: If you cancel your class, you must cancel a minimum of 2 weeks in advance before you are entitled to a
partial refund. $50 is nonrefundable for document and office fees.
