MSF Basic eCourse: Course Introduction 2024/2025 passed

MSF Basic eCourse: Course Introduction1 - correct answer Learning to ride is a physical and mental challenge. A mistake can result in a fall and injury. Riding a motorcycle is a physical activity and requires a certain amount of coordination, balance and dexterity. Being able to balance and ride a bicycle is a prerequisite for the hands-on BRC. The hands-on BRC is about the basics of riding. You will be riding on a closed-course riding area and not on the street. The first several exercises focus on the five major skills for learning to ride: clutch/throttle coordination, straight-line riding, stopping, turning, and shifting. Riding a motorcycle, though a physical activity, requires a lot of mental and perceptual activity to process information and make good decisions. 2 - correct answer The hands-on Basic RiderCourse is conducted at a pace that results in success for most new riders. In the hands-on BRC, if you have a lot of difficulty or become a hazard to yourself or others during the riding exercises, a RiderCoach may counsel you out of the course. You can opt out of the hands-on BRC anytime you become uncomfortable or feel unsafe. You should not attempt to ride a motorcycle with only the information provided in this eCourse. Successfully completing the hands-on BRC is a good beginning, but it is important for you to practice the basics of riding on your personal motorcycle. You want to always ride within your level of skill. Further opportunities for training are available. Successfully completing the hands-on BRC is not a guarantee of your safety. You are responsible for determining your safety in the course, and later on the road. Learning to ride is risky because: A. It is nearly as dangerous as driving a car or truck B. A mistake could lead to a fall and injury C. Laws favor car drivers D. No one is available to help you - correct answer A mistake can result in a fall and injury.
