Thumbs up MSF Course - Words of Encouragement Needed.

Last year when I purchased my Road King (RKFFRK) I negotiated an MFS riders course into the deal. Having already had mine I thought my wife would enjoy taking the course. Even if she never decides to ride on her own, it can make her a better passenger.

So after the birth of our daughter and almost 12 months laster later, the time is upon her to take the course. She'll start the class this Thursday at the local HD dealer. It'll run through the wknd and wrap up Monday.

Having no riding experience of her own she's nervous/anxious about taking the class. Thought this would be a great place to get her some words of encouragement!

Thanks everyone!

That way cool. She will do fine and have lots of fun to boot hopefully. Tell her to make sure that she has fun and not to be nervous, these guys know what they are doing. Here is a pic of Carolyn when she took hers. Does she look nervous or like she is enjoying it?

Wish she could talk to Becky. She was the same way last year when she took her class. Just remind her the class is designed for someone at her level. She will enjoy it.

Odds are she will already have more riding experience then most others in the class. It is planned to start at the very beginning... no worries. As long at this is something SHE wants and enjoys it, there is nothing to worry about. HAVE FUN!
