FiReBReTHa.... i took me course at armwood highschool. it teaches you mostly everything you need to know. i think if i recall right it was 175 for the class and thats the cheapest around here that i found. the number for the class is 813-740-3943. they have a sit down class on tuesday night and the rest is saturday and sunday.the classes are seperated by 10 so if you have any troubles it wont be hard for some one on one teaching. overall i thought it was realy good that i toke the course.

Thats awesome!

that time breakup is perfect for me with the way my work is going.

its hard to get off three days in a row which most of these courses require. They gave you your certificate to get approved on your license?

Went to work at the largest volume Honda dealership in the US in the middle of a cornfield in west tenn, never rode a bike in my life. This was a Yahmaha, Honda, Polaris, harley Davidson and Ducati dealership. So I learned quick, had to. Soon I was setup tech out of the crate I setup for sale, including road test of 1.25miles for every street bike.

Bought my mom a harley
Bought me a CR250 and a YZ250 Hyper-extended my leg racing sold those two bought a cbr 600 used and a HD FB and enjoyed the hell out of the road. Taught my mom how to ride in two easy lessons.

Showed her what was what on the bike, described shifting sequence, braking procedures, and cornering basics.

Sat her on the bike and let her figure it out for herself. Some people dont perform well under pressure (hence the fails in teh MSC groups), and then some people just have a natural talent that gets better with experience.

Someday i will get a bike again, but Im one of those not down here riders, I cant trust the 1 million other fux on the road in a car let alone a bike.

Take the class, enjoy it, absorb it, and enjoy your bike as much as possible. Just be safe, or at least controlled.

Thats a very good way at phrasing it.

But for some noobs i can still say that control can only go as far as what they think control is.

Very well said
