To get your motorcycle license in Texas, you must complete a safety course. Lone Star Bikers offers 2 different one-day Experienced Rider Licensing courses: Total Control IRC and the MSF BRC2-LW.   Both are approved by Texas as licensing courses. 

If you can ride, don't have a motorcyle, or do have a motorcycle, you can take this class:  BRC2-LW   You can bring your own bike OR borrow a school bike for the BRC2.  You should have the basic skills to operate a motorcycle to take this class.  (Good clutch, throttle and brake control, you should be comfortable operating a motorcycle)

The MSF Basic Rider Course 2 - License Waiver class is a one day course with a 4 hour eCourse that is completed before class.  On your class day, you will complete several range exercises before the riding test.  (eCourse, some classroom). If you bring a bike, it must be registered and insured. 

If you currently own and operate a motorcycle on a regular basis, you can take this class:  IRC - Intermediate Riding Clinic -  You should have ridden at least 2,000 miles in the past 12 months as a general guideline.  You can and will be dismissed with no refund if you do not have the skill to take this class.  If you aren't sure, you probably need the BRC2 or the Basic Rider Course.  You are welcome to call with questions 817-807-1487.

The Total Control Intermediate Riding Clinic is a one day licensing course intended for those who are already experienced riders, owns their own motorcycle, but does not have a motorcycle license. The student is required to provide their own motorcycle with proof of insurance.  There is about 2.5 hours of classroom, a written test, several range exercises and the skill evaluation.  (Classroom, no eCourse)

Prerequisite: This course is for experienced riders only and each rider must pass an entry exercise. The entry exercise consists of being able to start, shift, and stop smoothly. After the stop, the student must be able to make a 90 degree turn. If you are unsuccessful on the entry exercise or don’t feel you are ready for this, then the Basic Rider Course is the one for you. This is an Intermediate Skills Course and it is assumed you have already mastered the basic skills of riding your motorcycle.
