i know everyone here is pro MSF class (me and my g/f took the class). i took mine back in '05 and got my 1st bike in April of '07 and since then, i've racked up 19k miles. i have been thinking about registering to do the "experienced rider" class that they offer. you have to use your own bike/gear. its $150, and im interested in seeing how i can whip my bike around on that course .

anyone on here take that class? i never hear anything about it.

 

bumpy. im interested on hearing some feedback from that class

 

i know to some it might seem pointless and they'd rather do trackdays (im going broke w/o doing them....), but for a measly $150 i wouldnt mind seeing what i can do on that course now that i've gotten some seat time. the instructor at my g/f's MSF class mentioned to me that all they do is move the cones out a bit making the course slightly larger for the obviously larger bikes.

 

on some drills they do, on some they don't... You'll be manuvering your bike on the same tight *** course they set, but some of the drills are different (I hear the enclosed space figure 8 manuver is actually tighter on the ERC so on a sportbike youll have to counterlean waaaay out there to stay within the box. )

I still don't have enough flight hours to take it, but when I do, I'll definately sign up for it... Money well spent IMO

oh... either sport rider, or Motorcyclist had an article on it last month...

 

I haven't taken it myself, but my buddy took it awile back, and thought it would be nothing but was actually surprised and learned some new stuff. He was a very experienced rider, too. I believe eventually he ended up becoming an instructor and teaching the class himself. I was thinking of taking it too, just haven't gotten around to it yet

FWIW

 

im thinkin of taking it, specially after how much i learned on the msf course. i had over a year and a half seat time riding round blue haired grannies that drive caddys the size of boats that they cant see over the stearing wheel and figured that i had it all...def didnt lol. only thing i didnt like hearing from the instructors bout that course was that they said alot of people ended up dropping their bikes out there.

 

Yeah Jared and I were just talking about that... I definitely want to take it before I hit up the dragon this summer... it's one of those things I feel like I would be better off taking

 

I think I'll take it this summer. I think it's only $25 here in SW MI.

 

Yea its 25 here in ohio too I think. I talked to the instructor I had for the MSF course about it. He told me its basically the same course but there are a couple more obstacles and you do it on your own bike. I mean its not gonna teach you to drag your knee or anything, however I am sure you will go over things such as quick stops and counterleaning. Either way I think its worth the money
