Hooray Passed the MSF today

#1 Unread post by TheImp »

now time to head off to the DMV this week. The riding portion of the test was not hard since we trained exactly for each thing. But what kind of sucked for me was that we had been riding for about 6 hours today before we started the test. I think all the exhaust fumes from all the bikes around me for 6 hours in the small parking lot started to get to me a little and I started getting dizzy and ended up putting a foot down on the figure 8 and lost a few points, but otherwise everything else went well. Looking forward to taking things slow and building my skill for the roadways. I learned so much from the MSF course and I felt it was money well spent.

Let me be the first to say congrats!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

You'll probably have a blast so long as the instructors are good.

Oh No another nambi pambi newbie riding a big cc wannabee with a shiny new peice of paper that say's he can ride in a car park and has a skill level that allows him to swerve around any tennis balls that may be lying in the street and he can do figure eights around the old dear and her shopping trolly!!!!

Only joking, congrats on getting through and we hope the carbon dioxide poisoning does not effect your adrenalin production capacity.
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
