CSC!!! Boss, in Canada it's called the CSC - Canada Safety Council. They mandate the rider training program known as the "Gearing Up" course. MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) is the US based rider training program.

Dad bought himself a little Honda 50 when I was 16 & I took the "pee" out of him cos he looked so silly! Anyway decided to have a go & he insisted I went on an introduction course (like CBT now). I loved it so saved up & bought my own bike as soon as I was 17 ~ CZ 175!
Stayed on 2 wheels for next 11yrs (incl Scottish winters).
Even rode to Docs when I knew I was pregnant ...........until I found out I was having twins!
So babies & bikes don't really mix & I thought my bike days were gone.............but after 3yrs as pillion (on Rocket III) I got the itch back!
So at the grand old age of 48 my lovely fella bought me a spanking new Speed Triple!!!

What took me so long?!!!!

Lots of respect, you go girl.
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
