    Speak up if you are now, or have ever been certified by the MSF.

    To legally ride a motorcycle in Rhode Island, state law requires successful completion of a Motorcycle Rider Safety Course. Anyone seeking to obtain a motorcycle license must successfully complete a 16.5 hour training program. This program is comprised of two lectures, a 3.5 hour session and a 3 hour session. In addition students must successfully complete two 5 hour riding ranges. CCRI provides all training motorcycles, and there are several helmets on loan at each facility.

    It is illegal in Rhode Island to ride a motorcycle without a motorcycle license or permit: DO NOT ride your motorcycle to classes or ranges.

    When i got my licence about ten years ago. before that i rode without a license

    I work as an Authorized Testing Officer and instructor , which is probably the same as your MSF. In Australia you must complete a learners course and assessment, to get your MC learner permit and another course and assessment, after more than 3 months of holding that permit, to get your full MC license. We also have what is called a LAMs system ( Learner Approved Motorcycles ) This a comprehensive list of m/cycles that are no more the 660cc and meet power to weight ratios. After getting your learners permit or full MC license , you cannot ride any MC not on the LAMs list, for the first 3 years. After that you can ride what you like.

    basic course circa 1991 when I got back into motorcycling after a brief hiatus. Was amazed to learn so much that I didn't know. Took the experienced rider half day course in 2009.

    Took the NMSF course twice! 1987 and again in 2006! Pennsylvania offers the course free. You need the $5.00 Learners Permit (may be more now).

    No matter what your think you know about cycle riding, the course leaves you a better rider
