I have a Question????

The "most-asked" questions we receive regarding motorcycle classes are:

1. When are your classes held?
During the Spring and Fall semesters we normally hold 2 classes per week (A & B):
Times may vary so be sure to check with our office and the paperwork that is sent to you after you register for a class.

Thurs. evening - 6:30-9:30 p.m. (A & B classes)

Sat. - 7:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (A class) OR 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. (B class)

Sun. - 7:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (A class) OR 12:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. (B class)

You will attend a total of at least 16 hours of instruction, including both classroom and range time.

2. How much does the class cost?
21 years of age or over - $250

Under 21 (by the time the class ends) - $150
The fee is less for anyone under 21 because the state requires anyone under 21 who wants to ride a motorcycle to take this safety course.

3. How do I sign up?
You can register over the phone using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover) - OR come to our office at 435 College Avenue, Morris Building, Room 204. and register using Cash, Check or Credit Card.

4. What happens after I successfully complete the course?
Once you successfully complete the motorcycle class, our office will process the paperwork, and mail you a certificate within 2 weeks. You will take the certificate we mail you to the DMV and it will waive the driving portion of the license.

5. Does the college provide the motorcycles?
Yes, we provide the motorcycles that you will use on the range portion of the class. They are Honda 250cc - Nighthawks and Rebels.

6. What else do I need?
We provide the helmets if you need one - if you bring your own it needs to be DOT approved. On the days you ride you will need: Heavy jeans; Long sleeve shirt that covers the wrists; eye protection (can be sun glasses, eye glasses or the visor for your helmet); full-finger leather gloves; heavy boots that cover the ankle (converse tennis shoes are not heavy enough - can use hiking boots, riding boots, work boots, etc.)

Be sure to review the information listed here or what is sent to you. It will be the same.

You can call us an put your name on a "Last Minute" wait list. This list is ONLY for cancellations that we receive. We do not call you from this list for new dates.

If you want to register, go to our Registration page and follow the instructions. You can register on-line using a Visa, MasterCard or Discover credit card, over the phone (575-6063), through the mail (print off the registration form), or in person (Morris Memorial Building, Room 204 on the College Avenue campus).

The classes will consist of a minimum of 7 hours classroom time and 10 hours of riding a motorcycle. The motorcycles and helmets are provided and upon successful completion of the course you will receive a certificate of completion (DL 389) that will waive the skills test at DMV. You will need to take the DMV written test to get your license.

You will need one of the following: a valid driver's license, permit (for car or motorcycle), or completion certificate from drivers education. All valid out-of-state and foreign licenses are acceptable.

You will need for the driving portion of the class:
Shoes or boots that go over the ankle
Long pants - heavy, i.e., jeans
Long sleeve shirt or jacket
Full-finger leather gloves
Eye protection (sunglasses or prescription glasses will work)
Helmet (you may use your own helmet if it is DOT approved, or we will provide you with a         helmet).

If you are going to get a motorcycle license only (you do not have an automobile drivers license), DMV will require you to also take a road test.

M1 license = motorcycle & scooter
M2 license = moped

It is the policy of the Modesto Junior College Community Education school to use only MJC motorcycles as training bikes. Due to increased liability issues we do not allow students to use their personal motorcycle or scooter as a training bike.

State law requires anyone under 21 years of age who will be riding a motorcycle to have this training. It also recommends that all others riding motorcycles be trained.

Prices:

Under 21 - $150 (the price is cheaper because the state REQUIRES all those under 21, that want to ride a motorcycle, to take this course)

21 and over - $250
