I took the MSF BRC which was 5 hours class room and 10 hours riding on supplied 100-250cc bikes. The ERC was all riding with your own bike. The instructors were sport bikers who raced and I learned a lot. That was in 2004 and 2006.

I started out with a Harley Hummer in the 50's and then a 1960 XLCH that was professionally built by an Unauthorized Harley Dealer in Beaufort, SC.

Still riding 54 years later.

ERC is a review to some extent. Probably does vary a lot depending on the instructor. I got quite a bit out of mine--it was a small class, so we got to spend more time than usual on the course. Plus, a little refresher never hurts.

Yes, we could go out and lay out our own course, but most of us don't.

We did lay one out here, painted on the pavement at an old runway, with the exercises based on Ride Like a pro and Proficient Motorcycling. It doesn't get nearly the use it should, IMHO. I guess my point is that while we can, most of us don't unless we pay for it and feel obligated.

You tube disabled the music on some of these.
