Best thing I ever did!! My first bike was a 2006 Sportster XL1200 and when I finally got my endorsement I would ride it up and down my "cresent" shaped road until one day some old crotchety lady at the end of the road called the cops on me because she didn't think I had a license! Luckily, I wasn't that dumb!
I still tell myself the "push down left to turn left and push down right to turn right" sometimes!

Just wanted to share my success today and let anyone know that if you are thinking about getting into motorcycles but you've never touched a bike before, you should consider the MSF course. The class was great and it gives you an opportunity to learn critical skills on someone else's bike.
Looks like I'll be sitting by my mailbox until I get my card in the mail.

a FAR cry from "my lessons:
Jimmy opens fridge and takes out 2 beers
We walk outside, and open the beers...
This is the foot brake - this is the clutch - this is the shifter, down one for first, up for 2,3,4 - This is your front brake... NEVER touch it or you'll go flying over the handle bars (We'll remove first chance). here is HOW you start the bike (retarding timing) and how to kick start the bike
Then Jimmy sat down in the shade, and instructed me to kick start the bike....
98% of what I was told was BS... but that's what he believed, and that is what he had been told....
Times have changed, and most of the BS that we believed, and passed along to subsequent generations, is no longer even THOUGH... let alone said
