The "actual" Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course does. I don't know about other organizations. You can visit the MSF national website by clicking on the link in my signature.

Depends where you are at. In Ohio it is $25. I've seen other folks post they've paid $250 in other states.

But it ain't free. And for the basic course the supply the bikes.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

Yep, it all depends on the state you live in. In Pennsylvania, the BRC and ERC are paid for through the driver's licensing fees.

Let us know where you're at and, I'm sure someone here will be in the same state or have more info for ya.

$15 BUCKS??? That's it???? Geez - here, we pay $400 (yes, Four Hundred Dollars CDN) for the course which includes the bike use and another $30 if we want to be tested for licensing after the course. That's for a 19-20 hour course. Are we talking about the same course? Where's N-Pete - I think we are getting totally hosed again.... :evil:
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...

I payed $180 here in Texas. It just depends on whether the course is payed for by the state or not.
Have fun on the open /¦\
