I had to quit the MSF ridercoach training
Some of you may remember my thread about becoming a ridercoach, well I had to quit the training.
As much as it pains me to say this,,,,,,,,,, You were right Alejandro. Here's the skinny.
The State of Wyoming put out an ad looking for people interested in becoming MSF Ridercoaches. They had about 25 people apply. of that 25 they invited 16 to the screening. after the screening, 6 of us were invited to start the training. The very first training weekend the only other sport biker in the group (he rode a ninja 636) got up and left, never to return. The second weekend they ran off the oldest candidate (a guy that would have made a terrific instructor). I finally got tired of their BS and being told how stupid sport bikes and sport bike riders were and I decided not to go back for the final training weekend.
[sm=rant.gif] Now don't get me wrong, I still think that the MSF Basic Rider Course is a really good thing to have and go through. I just have to warn you that they teach the course in this new fangled, Berkley born, liberal wierdness called "adult learning". This is great technique for teaching new inexperienced riders, ones who have never ridden before. But not to "train the trainer".You just can't takeguys like we were with a grand total of 170+ years of riding experience between us, and tell us that our experiences mean absolutely nothing and expect me to take you seriousely. Plus the lead trainer has a severe case of SMS (small man's syndrome) and I'm 6'5" and 210 LBS and wear 35/40 jeans.To say that he immediately disliked me on first sight would be an understatement. I've got better things to do on my weekends anyway, like modding my bike so my 4 year old son can ride with me.
So I guess I won't be becoming a professional ***** after all Alejandro, I'll just have to stick to my amature ***** status.[sm=chairshot.gif]
