Default NB w/ question
Howdy y'all. grizgrin here from Carolina, thought I'd sign up to start educain myself before I go byin a cycle. Hope y'all don't mind some questions. First off, I've heard some really good things from some harley riders I know about this motorcycle safety course that HD dealers offer. Bein someone who's never ridden, sounds like a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Bird one bein' gettin my kiester onto a few different types of rides and spinnin the wheels to see what I like, and 2 bein some lessons on gettin down the road without become a statistic. Any one here ever taken this course, and if so what all did it involve? Good experiences, bad experiences? Thanks for lettin me on the forum, and hope to hear from ya.

Welcome to the forums. The MSF class is a good class to take and will run you through the basics. It makes you "eligible" to ride, but not "competent" to ride. In some cases, it may also earn you a discount on your mc insurance, depending on the company. If you were to post this in the "General Chat" forums, you'd probably get a lot of responses to the affirmative.

Welcome form Waxhaw, NC. Definitely take a MSF course or Riders Edge from a HD dealer.
