Default RE: Learning without a license?

Well, I made a ton of phone calls today, and I found an MSF course in Watertown SD (2hr drive, not bad) on a Friday-Saturday-Sunday schedule, so I signed up. It was an easy $75 to spend considering if it's half as good as everyone says, I'll be far ahead of where I could get on my own in the same amount of time.

I'm really pumped for it! I'll be sure to report back on my experience.

If you head up north of the airport between Wall Street and the Harwood road there are some nice quiet roads to ride on. That's where I go to relax after work.

well I heard they would if you had loud pipes or non dot helmet in NC.
Well I had screamin eagle 11's on my 1200 sportster and the examiner commented on how good it sounded.
The other guy had v&h straight shots and a non dot helment and we both did the test and past.
I think sometimes it depends on who test you.
