STREET SKILLS COURSE 1: Building Rider’s CONFIDENCE
CORE
Participants must have successfully completed a Basic Rider
Course (BRC) or hold a valid
motorcycle M endorsement on their driver’s license to enroll in
Street Skills I. Road America recommends achieving 1,000
miles of riding experience prior to enrolling in
this motorcycle training course.
The Street Skills Course 1 (SSC1) is a motorcycle class focused
on developing newly-certified or returning riders
seeking additional training to build their skills. These
motorcycle handling skill sets include:
- Visual Confidence
- Clutch Confidence
- Throttle Confidence
- Braking Confidence
The SSC1 is taught by experienced instructors with a focus
on safe riding practices for everyday road riding situations.
Common road riding occurrences include:
- Slow riding skills
- Starting/stopping on a hill
- Starting out from tight turns
- Straight-line braking
- Weaving
- Line of sight development
The SSC1 five-hour motorcycle training course includes about
an hour of classroom discussion and over four hours and nearly 40
miles of riding exercises. The on-range course work
occurs on a controlled one-of-a-kind training
circuit, the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex, designed to simulate
real-world riding conditions. The Motorplex training circuit
encompasses nearly one mile of paved roadway featuring over a
dozen unique curves, elevation changes, interconnected curves of
various and alternating lean angles, and line of sight
challenges. These features combine to give the rider multiple
repetitive opportunities to study the road features and
learn to determine the best options to choose your best
control and path options, all for building your Confidence
Core skills. Riders are encouraged to ride their own
street-legal, licensed and insured motorcycle (proof of
insurance is required) fueled to last through the
day. Bikes are subject to a safety inspection by the course
instructors. Road America instructors have the right to refuse
any customized motorcycles deemed unfit for course operation.
Those wishing to use a school-supplied 250cc motorcycle can do so
for an additional fee and with advanced notice.
