I'm loving this topic. I bought an 800cc (M50) 2 weeks after the MSF. I immediately started practicing sudden stops. I started at getting the bike up to 20mph and bringing it to a stop. Next move was between 25-30mph. I have practiced a few stops from about 33mph. As I become more familiar with the ...

I'm in the same boat as you. I finished the course 3 weeks ago. The bike was actually bought a week before and left at the dealer until I finished the course. I picked it up and then got swamped with work. It sat in my garage for a week with me walking by it on my way to work. I have finally been ab...

Okay the course is over! I passed. Missed nothing on the written. Most people scored about 10-15 points on the riding evaluation. Nobody failed the class. Not to brag (okay, just a little) I scored the best with 3 points. Zero on the box. Zero on the swerve. Zero on the quick brake. And 3 points on ...

Well the second day is done. The first day was classroom with short films and discussion. Today was the range with the last 2 hours in the classroom. My class has 11 people. About 4 people had never been on bikes before. It has been about 20 years since I've been on a motorcycle, but it came back qu...
