Default MSF -Day 1

Did the first day of MSF course, We had a driving rain the entire time. I am so glad I didnt just go out and buy a bike, without taking this course. I am a total squid. There is no way I would have been able to start riding in traffic without proper instruction. Stalled numerous times on take offs. At one point the bike almost got away from me, came out of a turn, too much throttle, let go of the clutch too fast , put my feet down instead of on the brake, started flailing about. Overall did alright, by the end of the day, it all came togheter.
