Our goal is to help you build a strong foundation of awareness and safety in what may develop into a lifelong activity. Because motorcycling requires mental and physical skills, we will focus on both throughout the courses. You will learn techniques to help sharpen your judgment and perception as well as the physical skills required for riding.  \nLearning is an ongoing process and doesn’t end when you finish a course. This beginner course is intended as starting points from which to build lifelong skills. Becoming an experienced, skillful rider takes time and practice. That, of course, means riding and practicing the techniques presented in this course. Once you’ve gained experience and confidence, we encourage you to continue your formal training. We also offer motorcycle courses designed for experienced riders (you can find all of California’s course offerings [at](at www.californiamotorcyclist.com)[ ](at www.californiamotorcyclist.com)[www.californiamotorcyclist.com](at www.californiamotorcyclist.com). In addition to helping riders step up to the next level, these courses are a great way to meet other riders and form lasting friendships.  \nSo, welcome to the world of motorcycling! We’re glad to have you along.  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nThe California Motorcyclist Safety Program would like to recognize the TEAM Oregon and Idaho STAR Motorcycle Safety Programs—and the 2014 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) publication “Model National Standards for Entry-Level Motorcycle Rider Training”—for assistance in content creation and guiding the development of this Student Handbook.  \n© 2014–2021 TOTAL CONTROL TRAINING INC., ALL RIGHTS RESERVED  \nUnit 1—Welcome to the World of Motorcycling  .  .  .  .  .6  \n• Course Objectives  \n• Course Requirements  \n• Course Schedule  \n• Required Materials and Equipment  \n• Keeping the Learning Safe and Fun  \n• Understanding Expectations  \nUnit 2—Introduction to Motorcycling  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .9  \n• What’s Right for You?  \n• Assessing the Risk of Riding  \n• Risk Acceptance  \n• Accept Your Responsibility  \nUnit 3—Preparing to Ride  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . 14  \n• Getting In Gear  \n• Helmets and Other Protective Gear  \n• Jackets, Pants, Riding Suits  \n• Comfort and Visibility  \n• Inspection and Maintenance  \nUnit 4—Wheels in Motion  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .23  \n• Controls  \n• Mounting and Dismounting  \n• Starting the Motorcycle  \n• Getting Underway  \n• Turning  \n• Shifting  \n• Stopping  \nUnit 5—Mental Motorcycling  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .34  \n• Visibility  \n• Scanning  \n• Target Fixation  \n• Line-of-Sight  \n• Following Distance  \n• Lane Placement  \n• The A3 Stra","cbCaiuwaITnT4Adz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuwaITnT4Adz","pdf",8207654,98,"English","# Unit 1—Welcome to the World of Motorcycling\n# Unit 2—Introduction to Motorcycling\n# Unit 3—Preparing to Ride\n# Unit 4—Wheels in Motion\n# Unit 5—Mental Motorcycling\n# Unit 6—Cornering with Confidence\n# Unit 7—Crash Avoidance\n# Unit 8—Special Situations\n# Unit 9—Impairments to Safety\n# Unit 10—Carrying Passengers and Cargo\n# Unit 11—Group Riding\n# Unit 12—Mechanical Problems\n# Unit 13—Touring and Long-Distance Riding\n# Unit 14—Riding in the Cold; Riding in the Heat\n# Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the beginner motorcyclist training course?\",\"answer\":\"The course is designed to help beginning riders build awareness and a strong safety foundation, developing mental and physical skills that support lifelong riding.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of topics are included in the handbook?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook covers foundational riding skills, mental strategies such as visibility and scanning, cornering, crash avoidance, special situations, impairments, carrying passengers and cargo, and additional units like group riding and touring.\"},{\"question\":\"Does learning stop after completing the course?\",\"answer\":\"No. Learning is ongoing and requires practice, and the handbook encourages riders to continue formal training once they gain experience and confidence.\"}]","California Motorcyclist Safety Program - Student Handbook - Sixth Edition - March 2021 | PDF",34]
