<snip>... but I'm going to sign up for an MSF course when it opens up. As for why I want to take the advanced instead of the basic, the beginner class I went to was pretty much a "this is a motorcycle" class...

Okay. Maybe I misunderstood this part. Sorry.

All that I can say is that they also stress that you should only ride within your skill level...and I guess that's what you need to do.

It takes literally a lifetime to learn to ride safely!!

I took the MSF course too, great course. I can still hear my instructors voice in my head when I approach certain situations. (she was a pretty blonde and rode a BMW)

Anyway, I learned at my own pace, usually early sunday mornings at daybreak I would ride for 2 hrs. Start/stop accelerate/up shift down shift etc.

My pace, not rushed nobody behind me making me nervous. I loved it. Then I joined a riding club when I was ready. I only do things when I feel comfortable.

Ride your own Ride

Cheers

No problem. I think that riding only within my skill/comfort level is the best advice. Right now, given that it's friggin' cold winter, I guess that means taking the bus to work any time there's the slightest bit of moisture/ice on the streets. It's a pain in the ass, but it sure beats permanent brain damage.

Thanks all

I'm much more careful now. Give the 4 wheelers lots of room. Don't get stupid like the crotch rockets, and you might die of old age.
