Just saying "Hi"

My name is Bill and I'm 22, I live in High Point NC and currently work as a Failure Analysis Engineer at the Dell Plant in Winston-Salem.

I dont have a bike yet, but as per your advice I am taking the MSF class May 4-6 then going to grab a SV650s from the dealer up the street. Ive always loved the look on SV650s', not so much plastic

and cant wait to ride mine home!

Glad to meet you all,

Bill

P.S. Define one legged pole vault / pogo?

Welcome........Glad that you are getting your training as it will answer alot of questions for you. Its nice to see people listining to us here. There is alot of experiance here and no question is stupid.
My idea of a one legged pole vault is driving away with your kickstand down. Kind of scary when you get pushed up in the air over it. Thats the bad part it could cuse you to lose control...on a positive note all motorcycles built in the last 10 years or more have switchs on the kick stand that stops that from happening. Anoher words you can't put the bike into gear with the stand down.
Ride safe..............
