Finaly I did it. I signed up for my MSF course. Its in two weeks from now in Wisconsin.

Friday night is class room and then SAT and SUN are on the range from 9-2pm. Then thats it, your done. $260 including tax and you come out of it with a motorcycle licence.

My days of riding my Yamaha Zuma to work will soon be over.

It was much better value than the class the Harley Dealer does for over 300 plus tax.

Cant wait. I already have the money for my Suzuki GS500F.

you will find that the msf class is worth every penny. at least i think it was. if you've done any independent reading you may find the classroom portion boring and even dumbed down quite a bit, but those first few hours on someone else's bike is really what you're paying for.

it's a good feeling when you get your spot reserved in the class and even better when you finish it. it's like "wow i've always wanted to do this except now i'm actually doing it."

where are you in wisconsin? i just moved away from madison last year.

Where in Wisconsin are you?

I am in Two Rivers and the class is in Manitowoc. Just moved here from Delaware.

Moved to Delaware from England 8 years ago.

I dont think i would ride a bike in Delaware but here in Wisconsin the roads are perfect for it.

Congrats and good luck to both of you. The course is well worth it and the GS500F is a nice, nimble, fun little bike. Treat it with respect and you'll have lots of fun on it.

Wow, lucky that you got in so fast. Around here most of the waiting lists are months long!

You're going to learn a lot, I thought my course was worth every penny. So remember, just keep your chin up, and look where you want to go.

You'll do great.

i agree wisconsin would be a nice place to ride, at least during those precious few warm months. places like wisconsin make you appreciate warm months...
