I took this class in high school but never got the endorsment on my license. So I decided to take it again to get the break on my insurance and to get the waiver on the riding test for the DMV. I just got back from my 1st class, and its going to be a long couple of days. Just going over real basic stuff. I should have taken the advanced class. Good news though, they have Ninjas to ride ;D

I'm sure I'll pick up something from this class. Anybody else take this class for the insurance break?

i did it for the exemption on the driving test for the license. insurance break is nice too...
we had buells tho... :-( they were tweaked to idle really shitty, so you REALLY has to finesse the clutch to keep it from stalling. which happened ALOT

I took the class and It helped thremendously. Sure the first night is boring, but the next 2 days are alot more fun. As a new rider, I really wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting into before I bought a bike so I would highly reccomend the class to anyone looking to be a first time rider.

Just in case anyone cares, I passed my class today. I was one of the 2 out of the 9 that could do the tight figure eight U turn.

My teacher did tell me I'm coming in to hot on my decreasing radius turns though........ What can I say, I like to lean ;D

awesome jt. our class didnt have any trouble with the figure 8, at least during the test. we spent a ton of time on that though, because everyone knew that was going to be the hardest part.

congrats

also, did they have new ninjas or older models?

That's awesome. I lost the one and only point on my test from "going too slow" in the long sweeper.... I was like "WTF", I wanted to go fast, but didn't know I could...

I hear ya on the lean. Congrats and enjoy!

Good for you! It is a good feeling to pass that class. I had the same trouble with the same turn too.

Gummybear, They had 1 older ninja. I believe it was an 05. They didnt even bring it out until I told them what I was riding. After the end of our 1st break they pulled it out of the trailer and had it warmed up and waiting for me. Looked like it had been dropped a couple of times though lol. Thats the good thing about the class though, if you go down its not on your bike ;D

I would be behind a bomb proof bunker while you took your MSF course Virtual.

I'm thinking of possibly taking the MSF course this year. Then possibly buying the ninja for my 17th B-Day. If I can talk my mom into it *sigh*. Or I will have to wait another year.
