It is unknown if basic motorcycle training prevents crashes, injuries, or deaths on public roadways. This research analyzes the participants of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Basic RiderCourse updated to understand risk-taking tendencies, personal protective equipment usage, and favorability of the Basic RiderCourse. Data gathered from 168 Basic RiderCourse updated participants in Central Illinois from a pre-test post-test quantitative design using a gain score analysis comprise the methodology. The resulting analysis determined the Basic RiderCourse updated created a positive learning environment and student were more likely to wear personal protective equipment after participating in the course, but the risk-taking behavior and decision making did not change. To further reduce injuries and deaths on public roadways, this research suggests a comprehensive program review of the Basic RiderCourse updated.
