The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) is a non-profit organization that provides motorcycle rider training and education. The MSF's mission is to reduce the number of motorcycle crashes and fatalities.

The MSF's Basic Rider Course (BRC) is a two-day course that teaches new riders the basics of motorcycle riding. The BRC covers topics such as motorcycle controls, starting and stopping, turning, and braking.

The MSF's Experienced Rider Course (ERC) is a one-day course that teaches experienced riders how to improve their riding skills. The ERC covers topics such as cornering, braking, and accident avoidance.

Fort Belvoir's Safety Office strongly encourages all motorcycle riders to take the MSF's Basic Rider Course or Experienced Rider Course. These courses can help riders improve their riding skills and reduce their risk of a crash.
