We step out and conquer our fears so that we can feel the exhilaration and freedom of the road.
The bottom line is, we ride because we love it!
But, to ride your own ride, you have to pace yourself!
When you’re a new rider- and even when you’re not so new - you will find yourself in
situations where you feel outside of your capabilities.
You may ride with a group that rides too fast, or anything that makes you feel
out of your element.
You may feel pushed and pressured to keep up, and others may be angry
because you’re slowing them down. You may tell yourself that
if I can hang with them just this one time I’ll learn more and be a better rider for it.
STOP! This is not true! Its ok to want to learn faster and be better,
but you’re taking your life and possibly the lives of others in great danger!
If you’re in the middle of that curve and panic it could be too late.
Its better to approach at a slower normal speed.
Check out the curve signs and the suggested speed limit.
Work your way up to it.
You’ll be amazed as you get comfortable,
your speed and timing will increase, and your anxiety will soon slip away!
Enjoy! Ride Safe, Ride often!

After July 1 of 2008, everyone will have to take the class and pass the test,
no matter their age. Future motorcyclists will be able to find a Basic Rider
Course sponsor or teacher on our website. Upon successful completion,
the sponsor will submit the pass results electronically to the department records.
Upon receiving the results, the applicant will be
processed for a motorcycle endorsement.
Visit the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle (DHSMV) website
for more details about the law change.
The Florida Safety Council motorcycle school offers multiple motorcycle training courses
to meet your motorcycle endorsement needs. Our two popular motorcycle training courses
are the Basic Rider Course and Experienced Rider Course. Both of these motorcycle training
classes are designed to instill a mental attitude, which fosters safe motorcycle riding, and teaches
students effective motorcycle riding skills.
All our motorcycle endorsement courses are approved by the State of Florida, and are taught by
energetic Florida State certified rider coaches. Both motorcycle rider courses meet Florida DHSMV
requirements for license endorsement. Completion of the basic motorcycle training course waives
any further DHSMV testing, and satisfies all DHSMV requirements for a Florida motorcycle endorsement.
Note: The Experienced Rider Course is designed to refresh proper safety and riding skills,
and is available only to groups of six (6) or more. The motorcycle training classes are held
in friendly, small and interactive group sessions.
The motorcycle training course is broken into two parts, classroom portion and riding range for
hands on practice an learning.
