We are part of the California Motorcyclist Safety Program and all of our instructors are certified to teach the Total Control riding courses.

Convenient on-line classroom

The classroom portion consists of a six-hour course called eRider that can be done at your convenience and in the comfort of your home. It is highly interactive, using video and other features to address risk management, riding strategy, roadway management, impairments, and special riding situations like carrying passengers and group riding. Participants complete all classroom activities (6 chapters) before their first in-person motorcycle riding session. The motorcycle riding portion of the course consists of 10 hours of in-person instruction on gas powered motorcycles. The 10-hours of riding instruction takes place over two days and builds fundamental street-riding skills and strategies.

The eRider is a great option for busy students who are successful at learning in an individualized, self-paced environment. Please check our eRider FAQs page for eRider system requirements.

"I came into the course with a general understanding but very limited experience with a clutch as far as motorcycles go. Though it was clear as long as you had an enthusiasm for learning to ride, regardless of your entry level skill, this class will get you comfortable on a motorcycle and have a understanding of procedures to save you from crashing. A class size of 12 where everyone gets issued a motorcycle of their own to ride and learn is fun with the well structured seasoned instructors showing everyone where they are lacking, how to improve, and what they are doing well..."

"#1- The zoom class held by Bob Raschke was great. Just make sure to log in way before the time or else he will call you out for disrespecting the class. Bob was really good! Now for the actual riding class. the instructors were great and made you feel Welcome, just do not forget to bring a lunch and a lot of water because it might be warm And you do a lot of riding and you will get worn out by the end of the day. Everything on the riding test was exactly what they were teaching you over the 2 day period So it's not bad at all..."

"Jennifer and Rico were absolutely amazing! They make learning how to ride a motorcycle easy and fun. I learned so much I would highly recommend this class."

"I took the beginner MSF course with Stephen and he was a fantastic instructor. He was very informative, personable, and thorough! His demonstrations were concise and he really took the time to break things down in a very digestible way. I really can't believe that in two and a half days how much more confident I feel at the thought of getting on a bike, compared to before. The RRMT crew really care about the safety of riders & making sure everyone knows proper and safe technique..."
