I went in '04 with the AWD crew. WRX and EVOs. They closed it down for us to run. What a blast. I haven't taken my bike yet, but that'll happen sometime this spring.

I started on a V-Star 1100 silverado the week after my MSF. It was very tricky for the first 200 miles or so. I've now got about 1200 miles under my belt and things are way more comfortable.

If you're doing it slowly enough, then you'll not sprint off but ease off just as if you had rolled on the throttle. The clutch can w...
