RE: Just finished my motorcycle saftey program
yes and no... most just ride and never think of slow traffic or hazard condition. 10 years, I'm sure you've hit a few hazards. But the course is great to practice in. Nice slow riding to let you know what you and your bike can do. A lot of slow, tight turns and teaches braking to newbies. I had to take it, military required so it was free... but I think it's only $75 in most areas. If you can find the track layout... that's all you need or just go to an empty parking lot and practice making slow, tight turns until you almost fall over.

I think the best way to learn is on a dirt bike or something. You can crash it a million times and really learn how the bikes move. A little different than a street bike but it helps. A guy around here won the lottery and bought a brand new harly. He went and took his test the weekend before I went and he crashed it twice in the parking lot. The testing guy was telling me about it. He should have takin a course like that.
