Best msf course in the area...
Ok I'm going to take the msf class soon, since at the end of summer I will (hopefully!) be getting a bike. Working my arse off right now knowing it will pay off when I see one in my truck bed driving home! I was wondering which course you all would recommend? I usually work until at least 5pm at night so one here in Tampa is almost a must. Also, it wouldn't hurt either if it was cheap 
How long is the class good for? I just have to go to DMV and get my license right? How much does this cost? Thanks for the input guys!

I called thise guys 18663331829. I took the class at the tampa location ( ybor ) firday sat and sunday. cost me about 230$ Friday runs 6-10 pm then all day saturday and sunday. You take the riding test the last day. I just want to get my license afterwards but I already had my permit so i dont know if the DMV will make u take the written test before. But you'll know more than enough to pass that stupid test. I like this course. Instructers were knowlagable and very friendly. They followed the teaching curiculum but were very straight up and offered a lot of real world advice that the book doesn't teach. I don't know how the other classes are but I enjoyed this one. I'm gonna take the experienced rider couse with these guys in a few months.

Take it - you won't be sorry, gets slow at times, but over-all very worthwhile. : )

MacDill offers the cheapest at free, but you have to have your own bike.
The Armwood and Chamberlain are the two least expensive courses at one seventy-five. Good luck with it, I hope you have a fun time. : )

See that is what I thought. But I look up the law and unless I misread it says over 21 we do not, its not mandatory. I ask certain police officers and I get different responses as well. To be safe I am going to the MSF at Chamberlain.

If you are over 21, you do not need to take the MSF course. From what I understand though - it's very tough to pass the test with your own bike then it would be to take the MSF course. The sport bikes just can't do figure 8's like the bikes they use for the MSF. : )
Under 21 have to take the MSF, and can not recieve a permit like the adults. : )
