Basic Riding Courses in Denver, CO

Total Control BRC®

2 day licensing course

Learning to ride a motorcycle properly on the public road is a complex thing. Small detailed changes to how you think, how you operate the bike and even where you put yourself on the road can make huge differences to the enjoyment of your riding, as well as your safety. Our most popular motorcycle course is our Total Control Beginner Riding Clinic®, certified by the Colorado State Patrol Motorcycle Safety Training. This course is aimed at individuals with little or no riding experience. We pride ourselves in the quality of our instructors and training methods. Knowing what to say to a new rider to help them progress isn't something you learn without experience, a commitment to doing it right and a solid work ethic. With over 150 years of combined experience, we offer the best motorcycle training in the state of Colorado. Most of our instructors have been riding for 30+ years and all take motorcycle safety to heart. Your training will include classroom and on-cycle instruction for a total of 15+ hours. At the end of each section, students will take both a written and skills test. The successful completion of this class (passing both written and skills test) enables riders to receive a Colorado Motorcycle Operator Safety Training Completion Card which is a waiver of further testing at the Colorado DOR when they go to add the 2-wheel motorcycle endorsement to their Colorado Driver's License.

All students MUST bring to the range:

DOT-compliant helmet (Iron Buffalo provides helmets at all its sites. However, students are encouraged to bring their own if they own a DOT-compliant helmet)
Eye protection (eyeglasses, sunglasses, face shield, or goggles)
Sturdy over-the-ankle footwear that provides ankle support and protection from heat and moving parts. Most work type boots and hiking boots work well, but canvas high-tops or slip-on-boots with elastic (only) ankle covering ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE

"Great time at Iron Buffalo, we got over 25 miles of practice in two days and a good class size for learning. Chadwick and Doug were a great Odd Couple pairing and provided concise feedback. My girlfriend and I decided after the class were more comfortable continuing our learning on dirt bikes before moving to the road, partially due to the instructors focus that the basic class is just an intro class and not THE motorcycle training course..."

― Adam Cansler

"Very experienced instructors who shared important skills and knowledge that every new rider should have. I took this course with my 17-year-old daughter and we had a great time and feel much more confident about riding on our own now."

― Dan Lawless

"Tana and Jiri were outstanding instructors. I would highly recommend this class to all beginning riders and those that have been riding "dirty" and just desire to become legal. I will absolutely be signing up for some advanced training and will request these instructors by name."
