Stupid Question what is MSF ?

Hi There is MSF the same as basic riding school and advanced riding school as in South Africa we have - the basic riding course for riders that have experience and then the advanced riding course which really takes a day and puts you through a lot even a couples of hours on a track.

How many different riding courses available I would love to you and the difference between countries

MSF stands for Motorcycle Safety Foundation. they're the ones that actually develop and teach the classes, but i'm assuming that our Basic and Advanced courses, while not exactly the same, are very close and are geared at similar groups and achieving similar results.

In Canada, motorcycle training is conducted under the umbrella of the CSC (Canada Safety Council) "Gearing Up" motorcycle course. The MSF teaches a similar format in the USA.

CamSA.... The laws change somewhat from State to State.
I think in Califonia a new rider has to buy a bike less than 500cc and is barred from the highways for 6 months. In Louisiana (where I live) I went and took a written exam then did three figure 8's and I'm legal.

Now if I owned all those bikes you have I would be looking for a part time job. But that's just me. :laughing:

They one common factor about motorcycle safety is, no matter how much training we get we will never be safe. The Car divers need to learne how to drive and they need to take the old drivers that can't see off the old.

"They one common factor"?

"The Car divers"?

"need to learne"?

"off the old"?

The one common factor about grammar and spelling is, no matter how much training we get, we will never all be equally literate.

Some older posters have excellent grammar and spelling, or compensate by posting more carefully. Some younger posters haven't bothered learning the rules, or are in too much of a hurry, or post while under the influence.

Either way, there are good posters, and posters who are not as capable. It's probably more productive to focus on the factors under your control, such as the quality of your posting - or riding.

Oh, and it should be "the old drivers who can't see", not "that can't see".
