Hey I used to be one of those losers who knew nothing :P Patience let the people that are doing this for the learning actually learn, not everyone goes into the course knowing everything.

 

i took my msf last weekend and i thought it was very benefical not because i didnt know what was being taught but because i look @ any situation with the potential to better myself as a rider. even if it means i have to go back and start from the begining ill doit, just to make myself that much better of a rider.

i feel sorryfor people who go into a situation feeling hella cocky and thinking that they cant learn something new or improve on what they already know.

i hope that when you are out riding you take care of yourself ....

 

oh don't worry, Thats why i took it to; to gain experience and better my riding capabilites......But everything there i can do at my house, i can even make better activities. Put some cones on a street and weave them, thats about it.

 

so why not go back and take the ERC course (experienced riders course) you get to do everything that the msf course offered but on your bike at higher speeds and more challenging. yea things might seem easy on a 125 ( i had a ninja 250 for the msf class) butits a lil bit different on a bigger bike .

 

[sm=boosign.gif] Not a fan of this thread. There are plenty of people who gain life saving experience in these courses. Sure, there are people who seem stupid or uncoordinated at these classes, but do you want them training themselves...do you want them next to you on a ride?There is a beginner class for a reason. Havoc makes a good point, move up to thenext class. Your impression of the course would be like saying, "I thought the beginning CPR certification class was lame...bunch of people who don't know how to save lives. I can breathe into my blow up doll at home". I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just feel that you have the wrong attitude about it. But, what the heck, right? We all have opinions, and they are all valid. Maybe go do a track day or something. Until then, understand that that class is the foundation of good riding skills.

 

I felt the same way when I took my msf class. I had been reading posts here for a couple months so I heard everything before the first day. The class is really designed for people who have never been on a bike. Do you have to take the beginner msf to take the experienced version? That would have been so much better for me since I ride a 600 sportbike, not a 250 cruiser.

 

You werent born toknow everything about bikes, people gotta start somewhere. i was riding for1 year, totaled my first bikebefore i took MSF course. didnt have M1 or Insurance when my wrecked.I was the cocky one when i took MSF, thought i knew everything. did burn out and speeding on the riding range and i got kicked out...i took re-took the course and i learned a lot of things that i didnt learn on the streets. MSF was benefical, i became a better (safe) rider. MSF got me calm down a bit.

hey HAVOC how much for ERC course or Track day? do you know any ERC or any track in Northern Cali?

 

im guessing msf class is the begineer class i took which was free. im afraid to take the erc kaz i might reck my bike i know they try crazy stuff there. well i havent rode in 3 months so i'll take it sometime after i brush up riding again since it is free also.

 

FREE????[sm=yikesomg.gif]dont know where ya from, but there;s nothing free in california.. i dont mind take ERF tomorrow if its free
