MSF RIDING COURSE QUESTION - Page 3

flightdoc · 12-26-2007, 11:50 AM

good to hear many of you have or will be taking the course. what scares me is the amount of folks riding bikes, especially a big bike like the Nomad, that have not taken any type of course. Just a matter of time before something happens to most of those riders. We need riders on the road not in the hospital.......or worse.

Alright, you guys have convinced me. I'm going to sign up for the MSF course as soon as I can get into one.

Thanks!

flightdoc · 12-27-2007, 10:10 AM

that's great. You won't regret it.

abqwolfe · 01-16-2008, 04:50 PM

I've taken the basic in july 07, I think everyone should take it. Now I need to take the next two.
I'm a rookie at riding, bought an 02 750 vulcan in oct. 07. found the nomad in may 07.
my wife and I tell everyone we bought the seat for her and the bike came with it. we love to ride, she likes more than i do sometimes. never will regret buying the nomad

abqwolfe · 01-16-2008, 05:07 PM

correction; I took the course in july 06, bought first bike in oct. 06.
the rest is true. ha, ha!!

Good thing you cleared that up!!! We were coming after you!! :)

**coacha** · 01-16-2008, 10:28 PM

I took the course in December. It was a great experience.

I am one of those who has not taken the course. I kept saying I plan to take it but haven't done so. Should I take the basic or start with the intermediate?

flightdoc · 01-22-2008, 05:18 PM

Basic first. Even though you know how to ride you won't believe the techniques you'll pick up

damark115 · 01-22-2008, 06:32 PM

I have never taken one either. Same problem, keep wanting to but never sign up. Where in New Hampshire do you teach? When do classes start? I am in Haverhill Ma, about 5 miles from New Hampshire.

flightdoc · 01-22-2008, 09:40 PM

danmark115!!!! YES!!! somebody close to me...good to hear from a fellow Yankee. Not many of us. I teach for the state of NH in the summer. We have 10 locations. I don't think but not sure if a rider from Mass can take the state course but I have the name and number of a private company that is very good and I believe they can take you. The guys that own and operate that school are the people that train us for the state. They are contracted. Let me know if you want the contact info. They have a place in Concord and maybe a couple of others.

**ringadingh** · 01-23-2008, 12:41 AM

I never took any type of course, they didn't exist here back then. I rode bikes since I was about 13 and went and got my licence on my 16th birthday during a lunch period in high school.

damark115 · 01-23-2008, 08:34 AM

Flightdoc. I sent you a PM. Let me know. From past posts it seems you are not far from me at all. I look forward to taking the class. Being self taught I am sure I will learn plenty.

flightdoc · 01-23-2008, 11:21 AM

You are just down the road from us. Maybe a 45 minute ride.

damark115 · 01-23-2008, 11:26 AM

Hope to catch up with you and ride soon.
