MSF RIDING COURSE QUESTION - Page 5

buckeye · 05-07-2008, 09:51 AM

Just did MSF Experienced course this past weekend. Cost in Ohio is only $25. Got a lot of good ideas, some techniques, and a few practice setups to improve my riding skills and safety awareness. This course was definately worth the time and effort!!! I think everyone could derive something from the course to improve their skills and safety on the roads.

I took the ERC / performance based course last year, it was a great refresher and taught the old dog a few tricks. The insurance discount doesn't suck either.

My wife took the beginners course end of last year (first timer) and it was $25.00 we'll spent (that's going rate at local college) as the divorce attorney had she wanted me to teach her would have been expensive...

I've taken the basic MSF course, just a few weeks ago as a matter of fact. It was an interesting class. I had the same problems handling the small bike that I've had on my Nomad, and it really made me think about how much effort I put into avoiding those situations where I can't handle the bike so well (low-speed U-turns, etc).

burkazoid, I'd suggest the Advanced class with your Nomad. No real pressure or tests there, just a chance to learn and get more comfortable.

I agree with ells but you should be out practicing the things you had issue with. Conquering those u-turns can make a big difference in many of the other manuvers.

I've taken the basic but haven't seen any ads for the others in this area.
