Cost of M.S.F?

#1 Unread post by CoreyDavis »

Hi, new to the board and just got my first bike, but before I get on main roads with my bike, I should take the M.S.F course. I was just wondering how much the course cost?

Yup - what he said. In Ohio it was only $25! Free for those under the age of 18. You can check with your state's department of motor vehicles to find out if the MSF course if offered through them. If so, they should be able to provide you with all the information to get you started. If they don't sponsor the MSF course, they should at least know who does (sometimes it's offered through area community colleges).

You may also be able to find the information here... www.msf-usa.org

Good luck!

Cheers,

In Va it's anywhere from $70 for some state sponsored schools to $350 at the place I'm going to be teaching. They've never had an empty seat though.

Free in Illinois ($20 refundable deposit), but there are tons of people that sign up and classes usually are full.
