I even watched the ride like a pro video and have been practicing tight turns.. still don't have the confidence to try it.. or see a need given there's an out available via this course!

Some of those low speed tests in the MSF test aren't exactly easy, but you get a little bike to do them on, and you get a day and a half of practice before you test. We had 250 Nighthawks and Honda Rebels, light and low, and easy to do those low speed tight turns. I like to think I could do the DMV test now on my Sporty, but I don't know.... no way I could have passed without a bunch of practice.

I went from ZERO experience, to a daily commuter. Really enjoyed the class, will say I made a 100 on the written test they had, and sad to say failed the DPS one by a question lol I had no idea about the riding in group thing, and a couple others that threw me off. Second time around only missed one.

I was very skeptical going into the safety course since I had ridden bikes all through my twenties. Now I'm ... well, let's just say I'm not in my twenties anymore. This course was one of the best things I've ever done. I was amazed at how much I got out of it. I wouldn't mind taking the Harley advanced course to tone up my slow speed maneuvers.
