I learned to ride in 2018 through the MSF Basic RiderCourse in the U.S. I still remember how nervous I was at first, especially with clutch control, but the instructors were super patient. The parking lot exercises helped build confidence, and by the end of the weekend, I felt way more in control. The written test felt easy after all the hands-on practice! Slope Game

I think it was 2005 or 6. A weekend MSF course at the local community college.

Since then I've probably only been riding in short bits for 10 or 11 years.
Not a lot of miles. Life has interfered in many ways
