the MSF class can be great fun.... if you go there to learn... which is what I did, after a few decades of riding... I learned a lot... not so much "bad" but rather weak (and strong) skills.
I took the ERC (experienced rider's class)..... as well as the RLaP classes.... no pressures.... if you go outside the lines... there's no deduction of points... you can't "fail"... you just learn

I took the course too - after a 20yr “break”. Well worth the time and money. I struggled with the tight rights as well. When I bought my Street Glide, I (and still do) go to a parking lot by the house and practice them - it really helps.

Take the Advanced MSF couse. They make you use YOUR everday bike. The RLAP sounds interesting.

AHA!!! You're a pretty sharp cookie! It didn't take you long to find out ANOTHER difference between us mere mortal riders and the MotorCops. They learned on their CITY/COUNTY/STATE issue bikes. If they tore anything up, their Dept fixed it....all under the umbrella of training. Unfortunately, we have to PAY out of our own pockets what WE tear up and get fixed. If anyone doesn't think that has an effect on your mind when you are leaning that bike and turning a U-turn. So OUR training comes along a LITTLE slower than the COPS. LOL!![/QUOTE]

That right there. Same goes with much else in life-one never knows EXACTLY where the line is, until he/she crosses it-and then has to pay the Piper!
