Fort Bragg Motorcycle Safety Course
Military
SportBike RiderCourse (MSRC) (currently Fort Bragg range is not large enough (7' too narrow) to conduct MSRC. When Fort Bragg begins to conduct MSRC, notification will be made, monitor this website, AIRS and Paraglide.
The MSF
(MSRC was developed in close collaboration with the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy motorcycle safety education and training safety centers.The new MSF course is a one-day course intended for motorcyclists who have completed the MSF Basic
RiderCourse or MSF Experienced RiderCourse.
The course consists of approximately 3 hours of classroom interactive lessons and approximately 4 hours of on-cycle range time.
The classroom segment focuses on the behavioral aspects of riding such as attitude and personal risk assessment, and includes discussions about braking proficiency, cornering techniques, traction management, and specific characteristics unique to sport bikes. The goal is to provide riders with a way to further develop personal riding strategies to minimize risk, with particular emphasis on the Search-Evaluate-Execute (SEE
SM) strategy used in all MSF curricula. There's also an opportunity to discuss case-specific situations within each military branch. A knowledge test is given at the end of the classroom portion.
The range session builds on these topics by providing riders the opportunity to develop and improve skills in braking, cornering and swerving. Included is a demonstration of the components of total stopping distance and practice in obstacle avoidance and evasive maneuvers.
