im still a n00b, but i got my MSF course on for Aug 17

 

Good luck with the course.

 

I had signed up for a two-day course this weekend. I got an e-mail last week telling me they had lost access to the lot they were using, I would have to reschedule for a three-day class. Gee, the whole reason I signed up for the Sat./Sun. class was so I wouldn't have to take off two days from work or early on a Friday afternoon. So I rescheduled for yesterday, today, and tomorrow and put in two twelve-hours in a row so I could leave early yesterday. I was driving from southern Jersey where I was in training for the last month backhome to Richmond. I left at noon, giving myself an almostfour-hour margin to account for traffic and whatnot. I got stuck in a63 mile backup that extended from Maryland to mile 123 in VA. Every backroad was at a standstill, I got to class just over the 15 minutes they allow and they wouldn't let me in. That's right, it tookme seven hours togo 250 miles. They have a draconian reschedule/cancellation policy (prettymuchNONE)but luckily the guy who runs it is willing to work with me on it since they inconvenienced me, so as it is I won't be taking the class until next weekend. Sorry for the long post, but I had to vent...

 

If you've never been on a bike before, you will love it. I hope you get good weather for it.

 

The class is going to give you a great foundation. Glad to have you here...welcome to the site!

 

Agreed to the great foundation. I had an awesome time at my beginner class. It was like being with a family of people who love the sport. My instructors were excellent and very knowledgeable. I will go back for the experienced course as well b/c I had such a good time and learned so many good techniques.

 

+1 for MSF, did my class time fri 6-9 and yesterday 7-3 passed the written with a 92 in 5min.

Today is my last class from 7-12 with a few more excercises and the riding test. I have to look where i want to go a lot more, seems like my only mistake.

 

Welcome you will have a great time at MSF

 

Well i passed with flying colors yesterday haha, then took my bike for a ride around the parking lot then around the block. Still have to get a plate for it on friday.

 

Hello & Welcome!!

Smart move....I took the MSF course about that time a few years ago.
