Title: Msf course
Post by: oz353 on March 25, 2012, 01:07:17 PM
As of today I am a fully licensed rider.  :woohoo: I passed the written exam with 100% and the riding exam 100% got every maneuver down perfect.
I highly recommend the msf course to any rider, new or experienced. It was alot of fun and educational.

Nice man!!

off topic tho.
Was in Pitt yesterday until today picking up a replacement motor.
Hardly had time to even give my bro a heads up I was coming out.
Picked the engine up and stayed with him and his family that I havnt seen in like 5 years.

or else I would have given a holer and stopped by.

If everything swap out 100% and shes good to go, will be riding back out there "Probably" in the middle of May on the weekend.

Mine was 2 Weds (classroom for 3 to 5 hrs, i forget)
2 Saturdays (course for 8 hrs)

not sure if its the same everything in Pa as im clear across the state from him.

they also have ones for experienced riders with their own bikes. (with permits I think)
One day for like 8 hrs++ and you're all done.

(not sure if ur askin because ur thinkin of taking one or just curious)

mine was friday, saturday, and sunday class. I loved it, was in there with my dad and another friend. Know 2 of the 3 instructors so it was a really fun experience.

I am going to be taking the advanced riders class this summer

Nice! And congrats on being legit.
I enjoyed the course too (took mine in MD, but it's probably the same everywhere). I'll never tire of recommending it to anyone. Even being taught by one experienced rider is not as good as learning in a group (IMO) and watching other newbies make and correct the same mistakes.

Awesome decision to take the class. So glad I took that. In the early season I will often look through the coursebook just to freshen up. Congrats!

Thanks for the link Tomb! I'm ashamed to say, I haven't taken the course due to schedule conflicts. I am in PA - just south of New Castle.

Nice job!  Doing the GS community proud.  We are one smart (and helpful!) bunch if I do say so myself.

Thanks everyone! My course schedual was as follows... Tuesday 6pm-8pm +/- , thursday same times, then saturday (rained all morning) 8am-1pm, sunday same as saturday. Im glad it was raining to give me some wet experience.
I plan to take the second portion once my bike is ready.
Waiting for payday to take the wheels to get tires mounted and balanced with new wheelbearings, just to be safe. Already have both wheels off the bike and the new forks addidasguy sent me installed. Btw addidas one fork already had the newer spring and spacer in it!
