Motorcycle Training

In California, MSF Programs are administered by the California Highway Patrol by way of the California Motorcyclist Safety Program.
CMSP offers the Basic RiderCourse for beginning motorcyclists and an Experienced RiderCourse Suite for riders who are interested in improving their skills. CMSP expects to train 60,000 motorcyclists per year and operates over 100 training sites throughout California.

The Basic RiderCourse is usually a two-day course taught by RiderCoaches certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) using curriculum developed by MSF. All riders in California under 21 years of age must successfully complete this course to obtain a motorcycle license or endorsement. Upon successful completion of the Basic RiderCourse, students are given a Certificate of Completion of Motorcycle Training (DL389). The motorcycle riding test given by the DMV may be waived with this certification and graduates may also qualify for insurance premium discounts with some motorcycle insurers.

Fuel Guage Ride your Bike and get 40-60mpg
You're probably reading this because you're on our mailing list and already own a bike, so this best-kept secret of the motorcycling fraternity is not really news to you.

However, you also have friends who do NOT yet ride, and are presently suffering the constant rising gas prices, only because they perceive obstacles to owning and riding a mototcycle.

WE HAVE A PLAN that will knock those obstacles over...
 
Hand Pointing It starts with You...
In your friend's eyes you are already somewhat of an expert, posessing the skills necessary to conquer the open road on your bike. Feels pretty good huh? How good would it feel to watch someone as they gain a new skill and you gain a new riding buddy.
Of course, there's never something for nothing, so we'd be delighted to give you $100 the moment one of your referrals buys a bike from us. Contact George or Jules and make the introduction.
Cartoon_bike I can't  [ride a bike]...
Balony! Unless you can't even ride a bicycle, you CAN ride a motorbike. You don't even have to pedal! And Ladies, the sport is not  limited to only men... Here's how You do it, and how We can help...

Enroll and complete a Motorcycle Safety Foundation training course any time from now, and we will REFUND you for it in full when you buy a bike from us. They provide the bike and helmet, and only require that you're able to ride a bicycle!

Find a MSF Training Course near you - 400,000 others just like you enrolled LAST YEAR!

Really? The way gas prices are going you can't afford NOT to own a bike!

2. You don't have to pay cash; BMW Financial Services offer great financing, including $0 down options;
3. Need the protective gear? (of course you do) - BMWFS is the only company that provides an allowance of protective APPAREL to be included on a financed deal.
