Default MSF Class

Greetings to all! I passed the beginners MSF class for PA yesterday! Great course and great timing. My insurance company threatened to drop me if I didn't get my class M by the 29th of this month. I got alot out of the course mostly a different mental outlook. A more aware mental outlook. Also some technique too. I expected to have developed some bad habits over the past year, and I did. All in all the best $5.00 I ever spent.

You only paid $5.00? Here in WV it costs $50.00 but is worth every penny. I've been riding for over 25 years off and on, and just took the course again because it had been 7 or 8 years since I had a bike. Also because passing the course exempts me from the riding test for the license endorsement and saves me a bunch on my insurance.

Congratulations! I took the MSF course last year at the age of 40 in NJ. Best money I ever spent! Just got my first bike about a month ago and put the course to use everday navigating the streets of downown Chicago. MSF - It's not just for beginners on younger people. Not to mention that I believe it has made me a better driver on 4 wheels too!

I agree. Beyond the few techniques you learn, the most important thing anybody should come away from the MSF course with is the proper attitude for riding a bike.
