Welcome to R.I.D.E. Motorcycle Training by Surdyke Motorsports Festus
This 2-day class is aimed at beginning or re-entry riders of all ages. A minimum of five hours of classroom instruction prepares the student for at least ten hours of practical riding in a controlled, off-street environment. With our certified closed-course and MSF training coaches, we'll have you riding in just a few short days. Plus, passing the class will justify the riding portion of your motorcycle safety test in Missouri, and could help lower costs on insurance premiums.
For training, Surdyke Motorsports Festus will provide one of these Yamaha motorcycle models to ride:
- MT-03 (No longer available for our Learn To Ride class)
- V-Star 250
- XT250
- TW200
All students will be required to have the following items to participate in the R.I.D.E. course:
- Over the ankle boots
- Full-finger gloves
- 3/4 or full-face dot approved helmet
- Eyewear (if not using a face shield)
- Long sleeve shirt & jeans (w/o holes and rips)
We know you want to ride - so let us help you do it! Click/Tap on "RIDE REGISTRATION" to register online now.
