Motorcycle Safety Program - 2009
Delta College is sponsoring a Motorcycle Safety program in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Education. Upon successful completion of our state-approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation course, the Secretary of State may waive the riding skills test required for a cycle endorsement. In addition, you must take a Motorcycle Safety course if you fail the state skills test twice or if you are under 18 years of age. Delta College currently has 22 nationally certified MSF Rider Coaches on staff. Their instruction experience ranges from 1 to 19 years. All are veteran riders, some with over 40 years of riding experience.
Required Course Materials:

- Long pants only - no shorts (jeans are suggested)
- Boots - no high heels or tennis shoes (ankles must be covered)
