Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City to offer safety course for three-wheelers

[Jeriatric]

Oklahoma State University to offer training this summer by offering a course specifically for three-wheelers like the Can-Am Spyder. The school's Center for Safety and Emergence Preparedness has purchased a Can-Am Spyder and is training instructors who will begin offering courses in May.

Yes and we r planing to singup soon. Maybe it will drop my insurance a little i hope.

They're being proactive. Wish more would do the same.

Would like to hear what your thoughts are after having attended.

Lower insurance rates as an additional reward for attendance would be great.

If the course is MSF approved; there should be a discount available on your insurance. :thumbup:
Check with your insurance broker once you've got more information about it, and let us all know.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a ride to OKC will be in order. I like the "free" part!

From OSU:

Oklahomans will now have the opportunity to receive free motorcycle and three-wheel vehicle training at OSU-Oklahoma City’s Center for Safety and Emergency Preparedness (CSEP) through a grant from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office. The Three-Wheel Basic Rider Course will be the first of its kind in the state of Oklahoma.

The course will be offered beginning in April 2013 at no cost to the rider. Upon successful completion, the rider will earn a certificate that waives the riding portion of the Oklahoma “M” driver’s license endorsement test.

Center for Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Public Safety Training Center, 3501 W. Reno Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73107

That's good news, once OK State has established the course, I'm sure other parties will follow. Hopefully it will become another routinely offered MSF course.

This is a great idea, I hope it catches fire cross-country whether it's for free or not. I took the MSF course from Coastal Cycle Academy and had to qualify on their 2-wheelers. I made it, but just barely. We need a course for older folks like me who never intend to drive a two-wheeler again anyway. I still ride a bicycle just for exercise, but had not driven a motorcycle for over 58 years!
Okay, just so you don't have to guess, I'm 73 years young... :yikes:
