The 2-Wheel class consists of two sessions. Weekend rider classes run Saturdays and Sundays 7:30a-2pm at the Gulf Freeway and LaMarque locations and 7:30am-2:00pm at our Crossroads location. Weekday training classes offered at Crossroads are conducted Tuesdays and Wednesdays 7:30a-2p every week. Weekday training classes offered at La Marque are conducted Mondays and Tuesdays 7:30a-2p, and we offer weekday classes Thursday and Friday at the Gulf Freeway location.  We also offer special "Monday/Monday" classes that are conducted two consecutive Mondays from 7:30a-2p at Crossroads. Be sure to check each location for schedules and listings. (*Note: during hot summer months, the start time may be adjusted.  Check your emails for reminders and alterations.)

Whichever class you choose, attendance at all sessions is mandatory and successful completion of the required ecourse and skills evaluation is required to receive your Texas DPS MSB-8 completion card.  Note:  All students attending an MSF Basic RiderCourse MUST complete an online eCourse prior to their first class session.  Details of that eCourse will be supplied upon registration for the class.  Note: Students arriving late or failing to attend any session forfeit their tuition. All who pass enjoy insurance discounts with many companies. Successful completion of a Basic RiderCourse is now mandatory for motorcycle licensing in Texas!

The Basic RiderCourse is offered at the following TX locations (Courses may start at the range locations for these classes.  Be sure to check your confirmation letter for complete details!)
