The Advantage Motorcycle School opened in 2001 with the goal of helping our students to achieve the skills and strategies to become a more proficient motorcyclist. We look forward to helping you to safer and more enjoyable riding. Your RiderCoach(es) are here to help guide you through your learning journey. Be sure to ask lots of questions and let them know how to help you.

The Kentucky Motorcycle Program (KMP) promotes safety by:

• Working to establish rider training courses throughout the state.
• Increasing awareness of a motorcyclist’s knowledge of the effects of alcohol and drugs.
• Developing driver improvement efforts.
• Conducting program promotion activities.
• Enhancing the public’s awareness of motorcycles.
• Promoting motorcycle safety through education.

KMP is provided through the Transportation Cabinet’s Division of Driver Licensing, and operated and maintained by the Traffic Safety Institute at Eastern Kentucky University. It is funded by motorcyclist user fees from motorcycle licenses, permits, and registrations.

• KMP provides insurance for all participants.
• Completion of the BRC entitles the participant to a waiver of the motorcycle licensing skills test.
• Class sizes are limited so early registration is encouraged.
• RiderCoaches are certified by Motorcycle Safety Foundation and approved by the KMP.
• You must be able to balance a bicycle before attempting on-cycle exercises.
• You do not need a motorcycle permit to take the Basic RiderCourse.
• The ERC is a great refresher course for those returning to motorcycling.
