What Time Do I Need to Arrive?

  • Welcome to the world of motorcycling. As a new rider participating in education and training activities, you are about to embark on an adventure that only motorcyclists can know. If you are an experienced rider who has taken some time off from the thrill only two-wheel exploits can bring, welcome back! You are certain to renew the habits and skills necessary for motorcycling enjoyment.

    Motorcycling can be quite a challenge, not just in learning the controls and acquiring maneuvering skills, but also in finding a safe way through real-world traffic. If you are willing to embark on a journey that develops the special skills and strategies of a good motorcyclist, this course is for you. Your experience and participation will lead to a better understanding of the riding maneuvers and the skills necessary to enjoy motorcycling to the fullest.

    This course covers the basic fundamentals for you to develop your capabilities to become a safe and responsible motorcyclist. It provides the opportunity for you to learn the physical and mental skills important for operating a motorcycle. In the classroom, you will learn ways to minimize risk and handle special riding situations. During the riding portions of the Basic Rider Course (BRC), you will be coached to develop the physical skills of basic control that include: clutch/throttle control, straight line riding, stopping, turning, and shifting, and then move on to more advanced skills in stopping quickly, cornering, and swerving.

    Your RiderCoachesSM are here to help guide you through your learning journey. Be sure to ask lots of questions and let them know how to help you.

    The classroom activities include discussions with audiovisual support designed to prepare you with awareness and knowledge necessary for safe motorcycling. The riding exercises foster the development of fundamental skills and the riding finesse to handle complex traffic situations. Throughout the course you will have your questions answered and have your progress observed and coached.

    The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers other courses and training opportunities as part of its complete Rider Education and Training System (MSF RETS), which is designed to provide you with lifelong learning opportunities to keep your skills and safety strategies fresh. After you've successfully completed the BRC, consider enrolling in one of the Experienced Rider Courses (Skills Practice Rider Course) as soon as you buy a bike - or right away if you already own one. To stay sharp and stay safe, you can take a formal MSF riding skills course every year and every time you buy another motorcycle. You can also practice your skills on your own, using the exercises outlined in MSF's "You and Your Motorcycle: Riding Tips" booklet (viewable on their website).

    In addition, the course goes beyond the basics of riding and includes many aspects of the social side of riding including How To demonstrations on models, parts, apparel, service, as well as club rides, parties, dealer events and national rallies.

    Please note, motorcycling is not for everyone. If at any time, any organizer of KCHD-U or instructor(s) feels it is unsafe for you or for the safety of others for you to continue with the course, you may be asked to cease participation. Again, this is for the safety of you and others. Due to the nature of the course, no refunds will be issued. If there are any medical issues that the Rider Coaches should know about you that may effect your operation of the motorcycle and/or success in the course, please feel free to privately discuss this with him or her before you get on the motorcycle.

  • The course is offered in a 2 full and 1 half-day format. The cost is $350. Helmets are available to borrow for class but buying your own is recommended.

  • "I would like to thank you and Killer Creek Harley-Davidson® for making KCHD-U available to us, the people that work at Killer Creek Harley-Davidson® are absolutely awesome. Recently I bought a new bike from Tracy Oliver there and from that point on Killer Creek Harley-Davidson® are outstanding and highly recommended to anybody for riding. I can't begin to tell how much I enjoyed the four days I spent doing this course with my son. Thanks to everyone whom makes this possible." - Randy M., Suwanee

    "I wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful experience at the KCHD-U Basic Rider Course in March! You guys at Killer Creek Harley-Davidson® did a great job of making us feel at home and giving us important pertinent information about riding, bikes and gear. BTW we loved your hospitality and especially the Celebration Cake! The MSF instructors were great! As a woman who has never ridden before I've got to say they never made me feel inferior to the men or the others with riding experience. They were very encouraging - even as we learned in the pouring rain! The entire class was warm & welcoming and I will gladly recommend it for sure to others. Great class! Fabulous once-in-a-lifetime experience! And worth every penny for sure!" - Nina S., Woodstock
