I took the MSD Course this weekend and passed. Now all I have to do is go to the BMV and get my endorsement. I've already gotten my permit.

Here are a couple camera phone shots from the class.

And here is some of the swag we got for completing the course, A couple of patches and a reflective sticker for my helmet:

Oh and I also got a card to take to the BMV to prove that I passed the course.

Glad to hear it. :cheers:

I found that the people in my class who didn't have fun were the people who didn't pay attention. Such as the guy who proclaimed he had been riding 20 years on a permit and knew everything there was to know about riding. (He failed the test, badly)

Had a couple know-it-alls in my class too...however, everyone passed.

I aced (100%) the written test and got dinged 6 points for the riding portion. I put my foot down during the U-turn and stopped too far for my speed during the panic stop. So overall I don't think I did too bad.

Congrats! I took it a few months ago and been riding a few days a week ever since. I learned a lot since I had never ridden before. I got a few points knocked off for the figure 8 in the box exercise, but otherwise I did really well.
