WHICH CLASS SHOULD I TAKE?
The Safety Center offers a variety of courses. Click on the class title below to see a full course description. Be sure to see the course requirements section to see what is provided and what you will need to take a course.
YOU must be able to ride a bicycle well and you must be physically fit enough to ride a motorcycle for at least 11 hours. If it has been a while we recommend YOU get on a bicycle before coming to class to regain your balance. YOU must have balance to ride a motorcycle. YOU must be on time for all sessions. YOU must complete all written and riding evaluations. By exercise #2 YOU must be able to get your feet on the motorcycle pegs and ride 110 feet across the range. We will do our best to assist YOU in your journey but it is up to YOU to succeed. Be prepared, we want YOU to be successful and we are here for YOU! YOU must also possess a valid state issued ID to be eligible receive a completion card. We also highly recommend YOU complete the online classroom before your arrival to ride the motorcycles. If you do not complete the online classroom prior to your arrival we cannot complete your evaluation the second day of training.
We provide the motorcycles, a helmet if needed and a link for the online classroom. We also will provide you with a great experience and you will leave with new skills to keep you safe on the road.
You must bring a valid STATE ID to be eligible for the license waiver. You must bring a printed copy of your online classroom completion certificate or a screen shot on your phone. You can bring your own helmet as long as it is at least ¾ coverage and DOT approved (no half helmets allowed). You will need to wear heavy pants (jeans or better and no yoga pants), sturdy over the ankle footwear ( canvas shoes will not be allowed), full fingered gloves and a long sleeve shirt or jacket. Eye protection can be eyeglasses, sun glasses or the shield on your helmet. The general rule is no skin below the chin!
All BRC classes are 16 hours long (including the online portion). Each class includes 11 hours of hands-on motorcycle training and 5 hours of online classroom. Start times vary depending on the time of year 7or 8 am for both days of class. Afternoon sessions vary between 2 -3 pm start times for both days depending on the pace of the morning class and the weather. Your Instructor will inform you the first day if start times change. Please be flexible.
We only pause training for inclement weather (freezing precipitation, high winds, lighting or hail). We have some flexibility but if it rains, plan on getting wet. If rain is in the forecast we suggest you bring rain gear and plan on the possibility of the class taking a little extra time to complete.
We do not offer refunds, we do however offer a one time reschedule at no charge. This reschedule needs to be requested at least 72 hours before your class begins. All subsequent reschedules still require 72 hours notice and will incur a $25 fee to reschedule. Please be sure you want to take this class before you register. When you are a no-show or don't reschedule in advance you leave us with an empty seat in class which costs us not only the fees we pay but also the tuition.
If you are late you run the risk of forfeiting your tuition. MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) and MMSP (Missouri Motorcycle Safety Program) require completion of the class in its entirety and we cannot catch you up if the class has already started. Be nice to the other students and your coaches and show up on time.
We use motorcycles ranging in size from 125cc all the way up to 349 cc's for the class by varying manufactures. We also have a scooter available if you want training on one.
When you pass the class (I have no doubt you will) you will receive a waiver that you can take to the DMV in Kansas or Missouri for your M endorsement. No further testing will be required by either state! You will be licensed and ready to go! Please remember that until you take the waiver to the DMV and pay their fees and get that that "M" endorsement on your license that you are not a licensed motorcyclist.
Unfortunately only registered students will be allowed to stay in the class. We do encourage family's to do this together! We want this to be a strong learning environment and limit your distractions in the classroom and on the range. Under age children are never allowed to stay in the classroom and under no circumstances will they be allowed on the range for any reason. This is a motorcycle training environment and with that comes some inherent risks. This is non negotiable.
Class times can vary because of weather, time of year, double classes or class make up. Start times may change but your coach will let you know the first day of class. Please be flexible. When we have a double class weekend, it takes a lot of coordination.
Yes, but only if it meets 2 of 3 below qualifications :
1. Less than 500 cc’s
2. Seat height less than 30 inches
3. Total weight less than 440 lbs curb weight
You must provide proof of insurance (we will make a copy)
Bike must pass a basic safety inspection by one of our coaches.
Bike must have motorcycle tires
Completion of the online classroom portion is required before attending the on-motorcycle training.
Please do not complete the online course more than 29 days prior to your scheduled riding session, as completing it closer to your class date will better prepare you for the hands-on portion.
If the online classroom is not completed before arrival, you may still participate in the riding portion; however, you will not be eligible to take the written test or riding evaluation required for the “M” endorsement waiver.
You will have 7 days from the last day of your scheduled class to complete the online classroom and return to our facility to take both the written and riding evaluations. You will complete the evaluations the following week as this is the only time they are offered. If this deadline is not met, MSF and MMSP require you to retake the entire course to qualify for the “M” endorsement waiver.
When returning for testing, you must arrive before 11:00 AM and be prepared to wait if another class in progress.
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the need to repeat the course in order to obtain your “M” endorsement waiver.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please call 816-379-8439 for assistance.
All classes are 2 days in a row. Mon-Tues or Wed-Thurs or Sat-Sunday. The riding portion is approximately 5-6 hours for each session. All classes require a 5 hour online classroom for completion. Total time is around 16 hours total for all training. Online link will be provided for online class after registration.
You must be at least 15 years and 6 months old on the day class begins. Those under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign the required paperwork (in person) before you will allowed to participate in the class. We can meet your parent or guardian prior to class and have them sign it by appointment only.
The classes will be dependent on weather and may have to be rescheduled. We can do cold (dress accordingly) but we cannot do any kind of moisture when the temp is below 32 degrees. The times may be adjusted during these months.
Your registration holds your spot in class however, classes that do not get at least 3 participants registered at least 6 days before the start will be cancelled. We reserve the right to cancel classes for any reason at anytime. You will have the option to reschedule at no charge. We will give you as much notice as possible and you can choose any class that has an opening. We will do our absolute best to work this out and be fair doing it.
You do not have to have a drivers license to take the course. However, to be eligible for a license waiver card you must have a driver license or a valid state ID. To be clear:
ID that works is a Missouri, Kansas or other certified state ID card or driver license
ID that does not work for a waiver card is a passport or a student ID
If you take the class (and pass it) without a valid ID I can issue you a waiver within 30 days if you apply for and receive a valid ID. If any of this isn't clear please give us a call.
You will be sent multiple emails confirming your registration and a link that gives you access to the online classroom that you need to complete before you arrive. At our facility, you will complete 11 hours of practical riding in a controlled environment which prepares students for formal evaluations at the end of class. If you don't receive a confirmation email and the link for the online class after you register, check your spam first and then give us a call so we can help you find it. Please read your email completely.
As with any educational opportunity your success is not guaranteed. You will be given every opportunity to be successful and our instructors are trained professionals. This course is designed for "BASIC" motorcycle operation and "BEGINNER" motorcycle skills. It requires balance, strength and coordination and your instructor cannot provide any of these things for you. With these basic things our classes have about a 92% success rate.
IMPORTANT: Do not enroll in this class if you are not able to balance and comfortably ride a two-wheeled bicycle. Do not enroll if you are not physically fit enough to ride a motorcycle for 2 days @ 6 hours each day. Consider the weather and do not enroll in the middle of summer if heat bothers you. This class is physically demanding.
A Women's only BRC is the same as a regular BRC, but it will only have female students in it. It however could have male instructors depending on our instructors schedule.
Your link should be contained in more than 1 email. If for any reason you do not get it please call us immediately.
