Whether you’ve never ridden a motorcycle before or want to improve your skills on your bike, Lakeshore has the class for you.
Classes available on weekends, spring through fall.

FACILITIES Lakeshore has the most innovative driving skills course for safe rider training. The course contains layouts for multiple motorcycle rider courses with wide roadways, turns, and limited fixed obstacles creating a safe buffer distance. Additionally, the majority of the classroom components are hosted in the Public Safety Training Center which offers a comfortable environment to gain those key concepts for safety before embarking on the driving skills course.

INSTRUCTORS Lakeshore’s Rider Coaches are the best around! They are credentialed through both the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program, and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Not only are they experienced riders and role models for safe riding practices, but they have completed rigorous training and continued education allowing them to continue teaching and evaluating learner performance.

The best place for a new rider to start once they’ve made the decision to ride! This course includes a three-hour interactive online Basic eCourse, approximately five hours of classroom activities and at least 10 hours of motorcycle riding exercises. Successful completion of this course and a skill test provides an opportunity to obtain a waiver of your road test at the DMV when you apply for your motorcycle license. Motorcycles are provided for your use during the course. Also, a course completion card may provide a rider an insurance discount.
