i think that part of basic driver training should be a whole section on motorcyclists and how to be safe around them

 

msf is for wussies!
(not really)

i do plan on taking it... but i really wanna get some experience too...

 

don't be afraid to ride without the MSF course - i've been on the road for a week so far and its been very enjoyable - the MSF course could only make me better.

 

nice...
i just got my picture id for my permit yesterday in the mail...
it felt like an omen...

 

I have had my 250 for a little while now and i STILL need to get my permit [:@]. I just have no time in my busy schedule...How many questions can you miss on your permit to pass?

 

in maryland 4

i only missed 2 - the written test is pretty easy if you read through the handbook they give you to read.

 

oh you noobs,
100% here,
its a snap, read the book that is FREE at the dmv, and i promise you will pass.

 

You should all take the MSF course, if it isbooked go to another county, most people think that it is just get on a bike and hit the gas, but the reality there is a lot to learn about how to lean, a stop and basic control of the motorcycle. I learned to ride before i took thecourse, and still learned things from it.
The book is good because you learn the laws, which you should know, but if you have never ridden a motor bike before there is a lot to learn.

and the one thing I alway like to remember is : "Ride as if cars want to hit you, and make you crash, so dont get confident" that has saved my life before.

 

One thing I like about the MSF is they make your slow moving balance a lot better. I was at a 4 way stop yesterday about 8 cars back,and I staid about 1.5-2 car lenghts behind the car infront of me. I balanced the whole time and never put my feet down. If I never took the MSF i problably would have walked the bike the whole time with my legs.
