I Finally Retook MSF Course and Passed

#1 Unread post by bolocheung »

It took me 2 1/2 months to heal & retake the MSF course and I passed. I had taken the course back in January & just prior to start of final evaluation during practice run on the hard break I locked front brake, landed on my elbow and dislocated it. After physical therapy & lots of rest I got back on the horse, and passed the test. Now, its time to get a motorcycle which I am hoping to buy a Kawasaki Ninja 650R which is supposed to be a good beginner bike so I can practice. Everyone passed except one older guy who dropped the bike during the final evaluation :)

Congrats on Passing the MSF. Glad to hear your better, and you didn't let your mishap keep you from trying again.

Glad to see another passer. Always glad to see another bike on the road.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Congrats! And way to not get discouraged about dropping the bike. Too many people fear it too much after they do that to get back in the saddle.

Congrats on passing and hopping back on. Many people are just content to stay down.

They're missing out on a lot.
Have fun on the open /¦\

This just backs up my theory, bikers are born not made, we are pre programmed from birth to get on those wheels and just keep going till we can't go no more. Living proof right here, thank you for providing more evidence.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
