Good luck with your class.

I procrastinated a couple of days too long once the registration for the class started and got rewarded with a class in early June instead of late April. I can't wait for June to roll around.

I hear you guys, it's been snowing here in Halifax most of the day and the weather person dropped the bomb tonight that we're in for another 5 weeks of winter-like weather. I guess it's a good thing my course isn't until the beginning of May.

A lot of classes have waiting lists. Don't wait too long to call. :)

Just slightly less than 30 days until my MSF course. I can't wait. I've ordered the new Proficient Riding book, which was - according to Amazon - supposed to come out yesterday - but now they are saying they don't konw when they are going to get it.

BN says the book isn't due out until May 13th... Gahh, I need more material to read before I take the course so I'll be a total brainiac when I'm in the course, which is normal for me.

Not me, our dealership is about an hour drive away, which would probably mean three hours for my noob self riding. :mrgreen: That and it's off of a pretty busy highway, so I'd rather not end up under an 18-wheeler while trying to bring it home.

Depends on how my class goes. There are 2 dealerships close by, 20 miles from my house. All of the used bikes I have been looking at are also within about 15-20 miles. If the class doesn't go so well, I do have a friend that could drive it home or the dealership may deliver it to me. All-in-all, I hope I grasp the class and begin my riding experience safely and promptly.

Not me either. The dealer is going to deliver it to me at some point in April. I too would have to travel on a busy roadway and I want to start off slow.

I just got home from day 1 of my MSF class. All classroom stuff, but I feel way more confident about getting on the bike for the first time EVER tomarrow morning. I'll keep you guys posted.
