We offer several programs of instruction and cater to all ability and experience levels.

The building block approach used in our courses means that each and every student is taught from the ground up and each skill learned will become a foundation for more advanced techniques to come. Studies show that 90% of riders involved in crashes were self-taught or taught by friends or family. Improve your odds and limit your frustrations by putting your training in the hands of the professionals! Our Instructors are certified nationally by The Motorcycle Safety Foundation as Rider Coaches as well as by the State of New Jersey as Motor Vehicle Commision Testers.

Policies
PoliciesTo participate in the beginner course you must be physically able to push, balance, sit on, and otherwise manipulate the controls of a motorcycle. Courses are conducted outside and participants may be exposed to wind, rain, cold, and/or heat. Enrollment and participation in the beginner course does not guarentee licensing. You will be required to arrive on-time. Lateness will result in removal from the course. RTNJ reserves the right to remove any student found to be in danger of injuring themselves, their fellow students, or the instructors. We also reserve the right to remove students who are unwilling or unable to follow the rules of the range - safety guidlines that will be reviewed with students during the first classroom session. There are no refunds. As a non-profit organization fees for the course go directly to insurance costs, equipment, staffing, parking lot rental fees, etc. Your space in the course should be treated like a ticket to a show or concert. The event will take place rain or shine and will go on without you should you not attend. Rescheduling can be done by contacting RTNJ at least 5 business days PRIOR to your course date and some fees may apply. Students wishing to receive their license must successfully complete all portions of the course including both written and riding exams. Any questions regarding these policies should be addressed to the Contact or Visit page.
