Tomorrow is going to suck man!

Not getting over 20 MPH, full gear, lot's of stops and on an open parking lot

Not excited, but it'll be worth it!!

The only downside right now, besides the heat is that to try to beat the heat we start at 7AM. I'm an hour and a half away...so I gotta leave at 5:30AM, wake up at 5.

Ugh.

You only need to do it once and you have your license for life. Suck it up!

Yeah, I am ready for it. Bringing like 3 gatorades or something, not sure what yet...but definitely something to help me stay cool. Also, I used my leather jacket today. Never again (at the BRC). We didn't get going fast enough for it to really vent that well, it was alright but I still sweat in the sun.

I can suck it up! Should be worth it!

That has got to be the most retarded advice I have ever heard.

Then you must be 5. Or deaf. Or suck at riding and need the course. Either way, motorcycles have been around a lot longer then training courses have been and life hasn't ended. 98% of the people I know never took one and are still alive. Whats retarded is all the people who think rider training is or should be required. Granted in the OP's case it actually is by law so he has no choice.

I am 6, kind of deaf, and really suck at riding... what is that little lever on the left side by my foot for again?

Cars have been around for a lot longer than training courses, but you have to take one to get your license, and those are a lot easier to operate than a motorcycle. Maybe they should let people hop into helicopters and fly them with zero training.

Regardless of what you think, the MSF classes and safety standards are proven to be beneficial. Even insurance companies recognize that, by giving discounts to those who have taken the course. Everyone who is interested in riding a two-wheeled vehicle on public streets should have to take the course. And I bet you're in a very small minority of people who would disagree.
