This year the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times and USA Today have published articles on rider training and the MSF Basic RiderCourse, providing extensive coverage in both their print and online newspapers.

We thought you might be interested in what these publications reported about their experiences with the BRC, their perspectives about the value of the course, and the great work being done by those of you involved in providing the training day-in and day-out.

If you’d like assistance with the media in your local market, please let us know. We have materials and spokespeople available if you’d like our help. Please call 949.727.3227, ext. 3131.

Since 1973, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation has set internationally recognized standards that promote the safety of motorcyclists with rider education courses, operator licensing tests, and public information programs. The MSF works with the federal government, state agencies, the military, and others to offer training for all skill levels so riders can enjoy a lifetime of safe, responsible motorcycling.

The MSF is a not-for-profit organization sponsored by BMW, BRP, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Piaggio, Suzuki, Triumph, Victory and Yamaha. For RiderCourse locations, call 800.446.9227 or visit
