So Paul, planning on starting your own riding school and need to know how much to judge?

I paid $275 for the msf course, and free training from step-dad.

I work at a cornering school and we charge $360 for a day on the track (with lunch included). It's geared more towards tour-bikes and cruisers, but we get a fair share of sport-bike riders too.

Watching the students' degree of improvement in both abilities and confidence level tells me that it's worth it.

I do private instruction on the side as well. It's always rewarding to see a student ride away a lot safer than when they began.

Be safe,

$400+ Canadian for three days, bike included, licensing test included. Absolutely worth it.

My MSF was somewhere between $200-250, then I figure the money Im losing by selling my starter bike (which I bought new), is still worth it. My comfort while riding is what is most important. I'd gladly pay for another instruction class as long as it will help me.

I train as often as I can afford which is usually two or three times a year at a couple of hundred SA Rands at a time. Wish I could afford Keith Code's school. They are coming to Phakisa and want R6 500 for a two day.
