The ARC begins where the MSF courses end. During an 8 hour period riders learn and practice advanced techniques such as body steering, throttle steering, effective countersteering, progressive braking, line changes in turns, and emergency braking. Approximately three and one half hours are used in range practice. Riders are then taken on a tour of local roads for four to five hours under the supervision of the instructor. This gives riders the opportunity to observe advanced street riding techniques demonstrated in real-world situations as well as having their own techniques coached and evaluated.
Class size is limited to three riders to provide for personalized instruction.
This is particularly important during the on-street part of the course. The old saying about all work and no play could never be more true than when applied to motorcycling. The ATC is an effort to put more play into the work. The course takes place over two days. The first morning is spent on the range taking the Advanced Rider Course.
