Default MSF and learning to ride

I had purchased a sport bike back in November and wanted to learn how to ride and didn't know how or where to go upon doing so. I read numerous posts on taking the MSF and how you'll learn skills that could potentially save your life. Well I just wanted to to say that taking the course is the best thing you can possibly do to learn how to ride safely, and it was fun. I just passed it this weekend and after completing it i feel much more comfortable on my bike and feel that i am capable of controlling it much much better. Listen to what people have to say about taking the course, there not just saying it for shits and giggles.

Glad it went well for you. It's the way that works best for most.

Congrats on passing the MSF
Even if you only learn one thing its well worth the time and money. I also learned alot and always tell friends to take it .
