And yeah, it's different on a 250cc versus a 1600cc cruiser, but if you can do it on a small bike, you can do it on a big one. Just take it easy, choose your roads and your times so that you have a minimum amount of traffic, and find some big empty parking lots to practice in. Always look where you want to go. Head and eyes, at any speed, point the way. Keep your head and eyes up. Master the slow stuff; the use of the friction zone and your rear brake. At slow speeds, do NOT use the front brake. You WILL dump the bike. (I found this out through personal experience!) Power to the rear wheel is what makes the bike want to stand up and gives it stability. Head and eyes, friction zone, rear brake. Don't be afraid to lean your bike. Get used to it at slow speeds in a parking lot, so you are acquainted with how it sounds. Finding out how it sounds when you drag your floorboard at 55-60mph is a little disconcerting. And yeah: Always assume that no one can see you. When riding, I've taken to turning the driving lights on, and also keeping my lights on high beams. (loud pipes help, too!) Hee hee... Congratulations and good luck! P.S. One more thing: I highly, highly recommend the DVD, "Ride Like A Pro." It's expen$ive, but sooo worth it! It's like it picks up where your MSF course left off. where do you find that video at? -DAN   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #109796 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer -- in the FACE!!

Here in Oregon, when you complete the MSF class, all you need to do is take your "Diploma" to the DMV, fill out a little paper work and your done. Proof of passing the class is accepted as passing the DMV test..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #109800 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer -- in the FACE!!

I just did this 2 weeks ago.   Logged     As a matter of fact I dont act my age. http://www.nopork.com/mybike_detail_view.asp?name=pops405&src=MYB203   The administrator has disabled public write access. #109921 fulgoar (User) bigg dan dzol Fresh Boarder Posts: 97 Re:my msf experience 3 Months ago   i just ordered the DVD mentioned above,the clip they have on their site from youtube looks very informative,specially using big bikes to do that!!!! -DAN   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #109924 Fifty Yet (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 265 Re:my msf experience 3 Months ago   when I took my class I found out that they offer advance classes also.
