Title: Only 2 hours to go!
Post by: Matt V on August 20, 2004, 04:03:15 PM
Before I start my MSF BRT course.  I am so excited I am beside myself!    :thumb:
Weather calls for a little rain on Sunday which should make it interesting.  I've been waiting for this course for over 2 months with a '94 GS500 sitting in my garage (now all tuned up).

Yeah mine too.  It might have had something to do with me taking it in the middle of December though  :lol:

4 hours practically standing in the pouring rain in a parking lot.  I'm almost glad it rained during the class because it gave me a good introduction and some confidence in wet weather handling

Wow, what a great weekend!  And an exhausting one.  Half of our day today on the course was raining but that was a good thing.  First it helped us realize that wet weather isn't so bad.  And it was way better than doing it in the 90+ degree weather we've had a lot of the summer.  They do a great job and the progression of skills was just about right for me.  By the time it came to the testing phase I felt pretty good and did well (ie I passed).  Of course the instructors were great and really knew how to coach to get the most out of the students.  I've already got a riding buddy who went through the course last year so I'm looking forward to getting out later this week taking it easy and starting on local side roads for a while.
