 |  My MSF Evaluation...
Tonight the class starts. Very excited and very nervous all at the same time. Background: Have only ridden 50cc scooters, and those seem like a big joke to me...granted I never went far with one, only really on vacations. I did go off the road into a ditch once cause my girl decided not to lean into a turn I was taking a bit fast, but my instinct (dunno where this came from), was to not break and just power out of the ditch. Thankfully that worked...but I digress... I'm not nervous about riding, more than I am about shifting. I can drive a manual pretty proficiently but the whole hand clutch foot shifting thing makes me nervous. I just hope I don't flub that part! Anyway, classroom is tonight. I've read Proficient Motorcycling 1 and 2, watched learn to ride the easy way, ride like a pro V, all of capt crash's videos (THANK YOU SIR!), read all 248 tips on that site I can't remember, and read through this and other forums tirelessly. Overkill maybe? Sat on a bunch of different bikes from Harley to Yamaha and everything in between. Fell in LOVE with the feel of the M50...so that will be my first. Eval to come... |
