Best of luck. The only advice I can offer is listen to your instructors, LOOK where you want to go...turn your head and the bike will follow.

Relax and have fun. It really is a blast.
Oh... and don't forget your gear. I had everything except the long sleeve shirt required. Thankfully, my pajama top had long sleeves. LOL!
Yes, I took the riding course in my P.J.s!

Good luck on your upcoming classes. I just went through the course last week. All you have to do is remember to pay attention, be safe, turn your head where you want to go and most of all HAVE FUN!!

I took the class two weeks ago. The best advice I can give is that if you screw something up a little let it go, don't dwell on it. Everything you do in the class is done repeatedly, so don't sweat the small stuff. Oh, and whatever you do don't I mean DO NOT drop the bike in your testing, that is an automatic fail. Good luck

Remeber to have fun too. I took the class last weekend and it was a blast. When doing the curves just look where you want to go and lean the bike. It WILL go where you are looking. I scraped mine on the ground while doing the curve and it felt great whent I did it. Don't really want to do it on my bike though. But still was fun. Also be prepared for sleep on your second night after rideing all day you will need it.
