Is this the class you need to be able to ride on base, or is this just a standard MSF class? If it is the former, is it really a 2 day class or are they offering multiple classes? I just need to do whatever is required to ride my motorcycle on base.

The advanced class in only a 1 day course. I would hope it cannot get anymore basic than the advanced course. If you already have your license take the advanced course.

That's the one you need to ride on base or get an M on your license. It's also the only free one you are going to get. Like it says, it's basic, two days. The advanced is just refining riding techniques and very little class time. Not for beginners, unless you were a fairly experienced rider you would fall down, go boom, and fail.

Oh, and I think they offer them once a month. They will throw in the advanced sometimes instead of this one, I believe.

I'll mention here for those not in the know...the free PAX River course will Not waiver you from the road course test if you are applying for your Maryland endorsement. The advanced course yes is 1 day versus the 2 day basic course.

If you don't have your Motorcycle license, you'll have to take the MSF course and this will also suffice for the base safety course. The base will accept the MSF cert as a safety course.

Call Lisa, get on the scheule. Even if you don't get into a class until June, she'll call the security office and tell them when you are scheduled, then you will get a temp pass so you can ride on base until then.

Why not? Even though they are free, I thought they were both MSF courses, the same as you'd take at CSM or elsewhere.

The courses are the same and I believe one of the instructors teaches both. For whatever reason, the State of Maryland won't recognize the PAX course. Probably a $$ thing...ain't they all?

I guess I put out some bad info, glad you caught it.

I thought too that it seemed odd but that's how Pax Safety explained it to me. Probably should check with them and see if that has changed or not. The instructors at the time that I took it said that they too couldn't understand why it shouldn't be as valid as the course offered through CSM.

The MSF course includes the written and practical tests for a Maryland Motorcycle license. The Pax course is just a base safety course to ride on the base. Pax, however, will accept the MSF course to satisfy their requirement.

Thanks, I had assumed they were the same course, just that Pax absorbed the cost.

I wonder if I should take it on my Ultra classic?

Silly Pete. I told you I'd lend you the Rebel.

I doubt if Pax would let you on base without a valid license, so there is no need for their course to be accepted by MD

They will indeed let you on with a permit. You can obtain a temp pass if you have proof that you are enrolled to take the base safety course. Ofcourse you must comply with all the permit restrictions and this may only apply to active duty personnel, I'm not sure.
