Another congrats here. I took mine 2 years ago. This past summer I did BRC2 and last weekend, ARC. I highly recommend these, ARC was really good.
It seems like I learn something every time I ride.
Hey, post a pic of your bike, I'd love to see it.

Congrats!
I've got 2 schools at the end of my road. For a while there, every time I took a ride, I'd swing in, do a figure 8, and continue on my way. Even now, I'll swing in occasionally, and do a figure 8 or two for no particular reason. Never stop practicing the fundamentals!

Foolish, I know. But that's what they did almost 2 years ago.

Another vote for the MSF...
After 39 years off of bikes I got back on 2.5 years ago. First thing I did was take the MSF - BRC. Arizona issues your full bike license once you complete the BRC, no test, written or driving involved. The best thing I learned was just how much I still had to learn.
Earlier this year I rode to San Diego and took the Advanced Rider Training{.com} - Advanced Rider Skills Course. Wow, what an amazing experience. They had us doing things most could not even imagine. Great course, awesome instructors that I would recommend to everyone.
Next year I will take the next level or perhaps even do a track course but in the mean time it's practice, practice and practice some more. For the record I am 65 and currently ride 15,000+ miles year {easier to do when you are retired}, and yes they can and did teach this old dog more than a few new tricks....Woof!

I already bought one about 6 weeks ago and have been doing short commutes to work on it. I've become pretty comfortable on it, but I've been taking my time with it and figured that before I get too crazy I need to take the course and get my endorsement. A little backwards, I know.
I bought a 2015 fat bob - not exactly a beater so I hope my luck doesn't run out.

I hadn't heard that. I knew only that the course could substitute for the test in some states, and might be required for younger riders, similar to the way driver's education is treated.
