is there any course with better availability than MSF in New York State? I live in queens - Maspeth and I'd like to take MSF but the closest location is Bronx and the next one is upstate new york. It's a lil bit too far away.
Do you know any other "replacement" course or something similar to MSF I could take?
Maybe you have any reading materials from MSF course you've taken and you could borrow them to me?? If I had them I could practice on my own in a parking lot or empty road.
I'm not very begginer but I'm not experienced either (I have bike since summer 06 but I have done only 700 miles on it)
I'd like to improve my skills.
Thanks in advance.
I Googled motorcycle practice exercises and the first couple of links look promising:
[Motorcycle Riding Tips for Practice Riding (http://bcrider.com/practice.html)]
[BACK TO BASICS - SLOW RIDE PRACTICE EXERCISES (http://www.ridemyown.com/articles/riding/BTB-slowridepractice.shtml)]
The third link ...
[Parking Lot Practice (http://www.msgroup.org/forums/mtt/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2497)]
... also reminded me of another "gold mine" of information at the parent site:
[Motorcycle Tips and Techniques (http://www.msgroup.org/DISCUSS.asp)]
If you read a few of those tips every day, you'll have a lot to think about and practice.
Good Luck!

or

or even the

The last time I bought anything from their website, the shipping was expensive enough that I threw in a few items from their [Accessories (https://store.msf-usa.org/Store/StoreItems.aspx?cid=3)] page.
thanks you so much! I think it's the second beer I owe you :cheers: ;)
