When I took my MSF class, the riding test counted for getting my M endorsement so all I had to do at the BMV was pay some money to get a new license.

The footpegs are a good place to improve your balance. Put pressure on the footpegs with the ***** of your feet. This will effectively lower your center of gravity (from the seat downto the pegs) . Put more pressure on the inside peg in the corner. You can also drag the rear brake slightly to smooth out power delivery for slow speed riding.

You should go to the motorcycle saftey course. You need to learn how to do things like emergency stops. And it helps with insurrance (here it gives you 3 years riding experiance)

But what I think your doing wrong, is your not turning your head enough. You can't look at the ground, or the pilons or the wheel of your bike. You have to literally turn your head and look to where you want to go. And the bike will magically follow you.

This is especailly important when your doing a figure 8
