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 

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 

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. 
Not knocking it, I just never took it.

Haha... I was just gonna post that...

I feel so lucky living here  PA is a great state for bikers  Lots of ads for safety and free training... Even the advanced rider course is free here 

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?

Ya i took my bike up the mountins today and man i really noticed the difrence in my speed threw turns

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) 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!
