Mott
Community College sponsors the Motorcycle Safety Program in conjunction
with the Michigan Department of Traffic Safety and the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation. All courses held at our
Southern Lakes Branch Center - Fenton (SLBC).
MCC offers a Motorcycle Safety Basic Training Course, Experienced Rider Course and a Performance Based Rider Course.
The Motorcycle Safety Basic Training Course is structured for students who:
- want to learn to ride safely
- have failed the riding skills test twice
- are at least age 15 or older and able to ride
a 2-wheel bicycle
The Experienced Rider Course is structured for students who:
- have been riding for
some time
- recognize that there's always something new to learn.
- will learn to hone riding skills and fine-tune the mental
skills needed for survival in traffic.
Some of the topics covered
are: how to balance the mental and physical aspects of safe riding,
manage risk, increase visibility and optimize your lane position
and more.
The Performance Based Rider Course is structured for students who:
- are experienced riders who wish to become licensed.
- will have to pass a basic riding test, which consists of starting, stopping, shifting and turning.
- will complete a short written test, range time and a skills test.
The Motorcycle Safety Education courses offered
by this agency are conducted with state funds from a motorcycle
safety grant administered by the Michigan Department of State.
Motorcycle Safety Basic Training Course
This course is geared to students with little or no experience on a motorcycle. This training covers the mental and physical aspects of riding, protective gear, common and special riding situations. The weekend class is Friday nights, 5:30-9:30 p.m. with Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- On Saturday and Sunday the class will be separated into 2 or 4 hour blocks. We cannot guarantee any specific times, so you must be available for the full day. Students are required to be on-site only when scheduled.
- A written and skills based tests will be given. Successful completion of this course participants will receive an MSF certificate which, waives the motorcycle riding test required by the Secretary of State (SOS). However, you still need to take the written test at the SOS office.
- The weeknight Basic Rider course runs each evening from 5:30-9:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and covers the same materials. It is a little slower paced, with more time to absorb the information.

| †
| You must be on time for all class sessions. Instructors will wait only 5 minutes. If you do not arrive on time, your place will be given to an alternate. Student's canceling 10 days or more prior to the start of class may register for another session if space is available; but a $25.00 fee will be required. No-shows who wish to sign up for another session must pay an additional $25 registration fee. Availability is limited and classes fill very fast.
Upon successful completion of the State approved
Motorcycle Safety course (both the knowledge and skills tests)
the Secretary of State will waive the required riding skills test
for motorcycle license endorsement. However, a short written test
will still be given by the Secretary of State’s Office
at the time of license application. In addition, a more extensive
written test will be given as part of this course.
WALK-IN POLICY
MCC’s Motorcycle Safety classes are generally full well before the class date. However, if you choose to try to attend as a “walk-in” the rules are as follows:
- Walk-in's are taken on a "first come-first served" basis.
- Numbers are distributed at 4:30 p.m. for the 5:30 p.m. classes. Students arriving before 3:00 p.m. are asked to use an honor system to line up for numbers.
- Only one number per person will be distributed (no holding and extra number for a buddy).
- Class attendance is taken at 5:35 p.m. and if there are any "no-shows" from the class roster, the name of the person with the #1 will be called (YOU MUST BE PRESENT WHEN YOUR NAME IS CALLED).
- Student's must have valid Michigan Drivers License, social security number or card and $25.00 (this charge is non-refundable/non-transferable). Payment by check is preferred, but if you are paying with cash, please bring exact change.

These materials/supplies are required for this course:
- Valid Michigan Driver’s license

must be covered while riding. It is best to dress in layers

shorts. We suggest jeans. Man-made materials will melt when
exposed to heat from engines or exhaust pipes.

a DOT approved helmet. See instructor if you do not own a helmet.

make it harder to hear instructions.

gloves are fine. Any gloves will do, as long as they fit your
hand and are full-fingered.
- Boots or heavy shoes – your
ankles must be covered. A shoe or boot with a six-inch top
is fine. No high heels; no high-top tennis shoes are permitted.
- NOTE: Motorcycles are furnished for all classes.
Failure to bring any of the above required materials
may prohibit you from participating in class. |
The following materials are not required but highly recommended:
- Sunscreen, sunglasses
- Water
- Pen, notebook
- Rain gear – we
will ride in light rain
