I was reading through a prior post about somebody having to wait for almost a half year to take the MSF course. A half year?!!! To me, that is unacceptable to wait that long. Even I had to wait several months to take the course. The lady who signed me up said this class gets booked within a week or two after enrollment begins. And this is nothing new either. I always hear the new guys here say they want to take the MSF course, but it's all booked up where they live. Many people would surely say screw it, and just take the DMV motorcycle test instead. Or worse yet, just ride without a license. In doing this, they will miss an important opportunity to learn valuable lessons taught in the MSF course before they hit the streets. I guess what I'm trying to say is a course like the MSF should have more resources available (maybe even state funded) to be capable of meeting the demand of new riders wanting to do the right thing by signing up for this course.

If I wasn't determined to do it the right way, things would be much different.

RE: MSF needs an overhaul
my friend used to teach the motorcycle safety course on the base when he was stationed in hawaii sinc ehe had racing experience -- but he makes too much money for it to be worth his time to teach an msf course. good thing he has time to help out friends though.
