I bought the bike, an '06 Suzuki M50, two weeks ago. I spent some time practicing with the clutch, shifting and brakes in the driveway and in front of the house. Took the class this past Tues/ Wed and passed the tests without any real problems. The class was run very well and I picked up a lot of good tips, well worth the time and gallons of sweat. Took a trip to DMV and picked up the license on Friday. I haven't been out too far but have really enjoyed riding it around. Even took the wife out a couple of times. I did have one %*@* blow a stop sign in my community already, fortunately I was going slow enough to avoid him. I look forward to learning more and gaining more experience.

Safe riding

Congrats on your bike and on taking the MSF!

Congratulations!

If you get any chances to practice some of what you learned in an empty parking lot it will do worlds of good for you. I had about a 2 year gap between when I passed my test and when I actually got a bike. Needless to say, I was a little rusty. Practicing will keep you on your toes .

wow our classes are tue/thur and then range sat/sun so we cant get our liscence till mon.

Thanks, I'm glad I did it......and didn't dump the bike.

They had a Tues/ Wed class 10 hrs each day or a Thurs night- Sat/ Sun class, either way it totaled 20 hours. Doing the Tues- Weds seemed like the better option. Tues We rode from 7- noon took a lunch then met at the class. Same thing on Wed but we finished the morning with the road test and met in the class for the written portion.

Scored a 94 on the riding and 100 on the written.

One nice thing, my house is on the way to the class from the road course so I stopped in showered and changed on my way to class. It was really hot and humid so the shower and dry clothes were refreshing.
