MSF RIDING COURSE QUESTION

Took the Basic course 50,000 miles ago and very glad that I did. Maybe it's time to go back for the intermediate course.

MSF RIDING COURSE QUESTION

In Utah we only have basic and advanced. I have taken the basic and would really like to take the advanced. Utah suggests the advanced after 1000 miles on the bike.

MSF RIDING COURSE QUESTION

Basic only so far. Texas is Basic & Experienced only as well. Learned a lot in the course and the questions from the book were reflected in the written err... computerized MC test.

MSF RIDING COURSE QUESTION

I took the basic course. I had 3 bikes 30+ years ago. My son (he is 20) suggested we get bikes. I told him I would so long as he agreed to buy gear that I approved and always wear it, and that we take the MSF course together before we started riding. I have nothing but praise for the course. Very well done.

MSF RIDING COURSE QUESTION

If nobody minds I'd like to refresh this topic every once in awhile. We have been picking up newbies pretty fast and I'm really curious how many of us have taken any of the MSF riding courses. If you've already posted on this comment please don't bother again.
Thanks for indulging me.
