How much does the MSF course cost in FL? Here its free so I'd suggest trying to do a walkin to the BRC for a reride if you were here. Tackle your fears with their bike (and get a refresher on turning)

Yeah, not free Already thought about that- it's about 250 bucks and it's booked a long ways out. Think I'll head to a parking lot another night this evening and just practice some of the stuff from the course.

Nothing will replace the experience you gain from the MSF.. save up and take it elf.. all the problems of low speed turning and all your other questions are resolved in the MSF course.. not to mention it could save your life.. Im a huge believer in it. I wish it was manditory.
