make sure you go with a friend-makes the classes seem shorter- and you can goof off. (not that you should)
I was retarded and ran late with my friend the last day and rode our bikesto class30 minutes away(his 600R and my R6) the speedo hit 152mph on the way to the safety course . . . .

ok, enough of my rambling. I think I did learn a couple things. . . But mostly I watched other people do their thing- one woman did a stoppie and crashed! She didn't pass.

lol...yeah, the one thing the guy said to me was if you do anything remotely stupid you will fail no matter how good a rider you are ie wheelies specifically.

Im kinda interested in seeing first time riders and how they react to riding bikes....ive been riding since i was 8 so I dont really remember being hesitant like i think you would at my age now (26). I remember just getting on my little XR50 and going, crashing, not caring and going some more

yeah- the bikes they let us use (i think they were honda nighthawk 250's) were tuned DOWN to not even take off fast-wheelies were impossible . . .

+1 you could pop the clutch and the bike isn't going any place. The class was fun. A couple friends of mine are instructors and ive heard all kinds of storys of people crashing in the class and what not. When i took it 2 people didn't pass. One person gave up and left the class after about 15 min of riding.

they gave up? Wow.I don't feel bad to the people who don't pass. To me, it is a good way to weed people out that would probably wreck on the street at a later date . . . .

watch the pegs on those 250's they like to scrape the ground easily and dont wheelie over the 2x4 the instructors will laugh. front end braking, pull a stoppie, they love that ****
