Man that was alot of fun and I got so much info from it. Helped me big time with control on my bike.Now i can scrape pegs on most curves witch i didnt think i would ever be able to do. Got to ride a little cbr230 and man those bikes are fun. Bet they would be a blast in town and there so light they really turn nice
Anyway if you havnt taken the class do it cuz its a blast
I finished mine this last Sunday and I concur; the class is worth it for noobs. I have ridden dirt since I was like 13. Street is way different and there are many more variables to be aware of.
Funny you mentioned the pegs thing. Before the class I was literally afraid to lean the bike too far. I have NOW learned that the bike will go farther than you want it to.
MSF = worth the $.
Congrats to both of you on a smart desicion :cheers:
dammit man, I think I have to take the MSF. I can't scrape the pegs... mental barrier...
If I have opportunity I'll take it this year.
How much does it cost in your state? (here in NY it's fu..ing expensive - around $350)
come to Connecticut,they may have it at a community college near you for $200. -- JIm :)
Congrats :cheers:
Yay! More bikers!
Mary
mine was 150
it would have been 250 in 6 mothes when i turn 21 though
Ya i have been in dirt for a long time and learnd how to ride on a dirtbike , so i thought i had it covered on the street
But this class helped me with all those street skills
I paid $190 here in Colorado Springs (CO) for the class.
Never took it. I was ridding on the road when I was 15 and am 31 now. :dunno_white:
Not knocking it, I just never took it. :cheers:

Haha... I was just gonna post that...
I feel so lucky living here :icon_mrgreen: PA is a great state for bikers :cheers: Lots of ads for safety and free training... Even the advanced rider course is free here :D
Well done, hope you have many years of safe riding ahead. Is a CBR230 anything like a CRF230 trail bike? or is this a new release from Honda I have missed?

Free for out of stater's?
I'm 10 minutes from PA
I passed mine this weekend too! we used little GZ250's probably the only stockbike I can and will ever be able to flat foot. It is definately worth it! We had Newbies and veteran riders in the class. In Michigan if you can find a "public" class that is not already full it is only $25, otherwise the private classes cost all the way up to $300+ I got into a $200 class but it was well worth it!
We had Honda Rebels and Suzuki DR200 dual-sports.
Brickerenator -- I'm trying to find out if out-of-staters can take it or not....The MSF site (www.msf-usa.org (http://www.msf-usa.org)) does say that the license waiver may not be acceptable in all states,and that the completion certificate doesn't transfer to all states. It doesn't list what states it does/does not
Awesome, thanks.
I checked with my boyfriend who is an instructor of MSF for PA. He said that you could take the class, but it would cost a couple hundred bucks and you woudln't get your license at the end of the course like us Pennsylvanians do. Sorry! I do love PA!!!
EDIT -- I just found out that the BRC course is $250 and the ERC is $150 for out of state people. Sorry!
Hey Steph... IM in Johnstown, PA about 1.5 hours from State College :cheers:

No problem. I figured as much.
Likewise, I wouldn't want PA people coming to my state and getting free services that I pay for.
