Where are you located?

We are in East Point, Georgia near the Atlanta airport.  We proudly serve riders throughout the Atlanta metro area including East Point, College Park, South Fulton, Atlanta, Decatur, and all surrounding communities.  We've had students come from as far as Columbus, Georgia.  We love knowing that we serve riders from anywhere in our state.

​

What are the basic requirements I need in order to take a motorcycle training class?
You must be able to ride a bicycle.

Do I need my own motorcycle?
We will provide a motorcycle for the Basic RiderCourse.  We have a variety of makes and models to meet the different heights of students.  Riders need their own motorcycle only for the Basic RiderCourse 2.  This can be one that you own or one that someone lets you borrow for the class. It must be insured.

 

What is the difference between the Basic RiderCourse and the Basic RiderCourse 2?

The Basic RiderCourse 2 is for participants who already know how to ride and own their own motorcycle.  These riders need to earn their motorcycle endorsement.  The Basic RiderCourse however is for participants who want to learn to ride or who need to brush up on their skills before testing for their endorsement.  Both classes require the completion of an E-Course before in person class.  Please Note: The BRC 2 requires that riders pass a screening exercise (control at low speed) to continue in the class.  If a student does not pass, they will be canceled out and advised to enroll in our BRC beginners course to earn the waiver.  We will give a courtesy credit (minus fees) towards our BRC class.
 

Do I need my own helmet?
It is recommended that you bring your own helmet, but we do have helmets that you can borrow during the class.  While we do sanitize the helmets after each class, you should wear a bandana if you need to borrow one.

What do I have to wear?
You must wear the following (please note-you will not be allowed to participate if you do not wear all of the items from the list below):

 - DOT-compliant helmet

 - Eye protection (helmet face shield, glasses, goggles)

 - Long-sleeve shirt or jacket
- Long, non-flare pants made of denim or equivalent or more durable material
- Over-the-ankle footwear (no high-heeled, steel toes or platform boots)

 - Full-finger gloves, no cut-off fingers gloves

What do I need to do in order to pass the class?

To successfully graduate, students must:

 - Attend all sessions

 - Be on time for all sessions

 - Score 80% or better on a written evaluation

 - Pass an on-cycle skills evaluation

If I am under 18, can I still take the class?
A student can take the class at 16 years of age, but ALL students under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian attend the first range day of class to sign a waiver form. Students under the age of 18 will NOT be allowed to attend unless a parent or legal guardian is present to sign the waiver  (NO EXCEPTIONS).  Please Note: Students must be 17 or must turn 17 within 90 days of successfully passing the class in order to earn their motorcycle endorsement from the state of Georgia.

What if I signed up but can't attend?

We understand that life happens.  Students may reschedule one time within 5 days' of your scheduled class.  Requests must be made by email at info@maverickmotorcycleacademy.com.  Because our classes have limited capacity and require advance staffing, tuition is non-refundable.

What if I'm late or can't attend 1 of the 2 days?

Attendance and participation in all exercises is required by DDS in order to test for the 90 day waiver.

​

Does the weather stop a class?
​Dress for weather conditions.  We rarely cancel a course because of weather.  Due to variables beyond our control, the weather may extend some course times, so allow additional time in your schedule in case a session runs later than scheduled.
 

Do I need a motorcycle permit?

No.  You can take either course without having a motorcycle permit first.

​

Does Georgia waive testing if I pass the class?

Georgia DDS will waive any further testing if you pass both the written and the skills test at the conclusion of the class.

​

How much do the classes cost?

The beginner/refresher course is $329 (2 days and we provide the bike for training and testing).  The experienced rider course is $199 (1 day and you provide your own bike for training and testing).  Both courses include the E-Course and testing.
