They also do videos on group riding, safety, and other motorcycle related subjects.
I used to teach both the MSF Basic and Advanced Courses, but soon got bored and started teaching the MSF Instructor course, which teaches how to teach the classes. Now I just give private, one-on-one lessons to people motivated to learn to ride, not people who are taking the course just to get out of the road test or get an insurance discount.
