Default The BRC should be required

Well...I passed the BRC course this weekend! Now, I have my Maine motorcycle license. The course here was Sat and Sun from 8-6 and today we went until 7. I am wiped out!

I am a complete beginner and after the BRC course I feel pretty comfortable on a bike. I can't believe the amount of information they teach and the entire course is perfectly organized to progress you through how to ride.

I am surprised this course isn't required. You have to learn how to maneuver the bike at very slow speeds which is the hardest time to balance the bike.

For anyone who hasn't taken this course I would strongly recommend it. There were 2 guys in my class who had been riding for a few years (on a permit) and they both learned many things and weren't perfect at all of the exercises...which means even someone who has been riding has more to learn.

Anyway...I had a blast and I am excited to start riding. Now on to finding a bike to ride...
