MSF corse, day one done
Class tonight was from 6-9pm. I am the ONLY sport bike rider in the entire class. The rest are older harley/goldwing riders. It's going to really suck but I have to work all night friday and leave work early to go to class all day saturday. Class starts at 6:45 AM 
NO love for the night shifters.
As for the class itself, nothing but a few cheesy videos and a lot of basic riders skills questions. Saturday will probably be better.

I went couple of weekends ago and watch the riding part of one go down.

if you dont already have your mc endorsement, then you dont have to take the test at the dmv after taking this course, plus it is up to a 30% discount in insurance.
definitely worth the $$ (plus the experienced riders course is like half as much as the beginner course)

you should have taken the exp rider course Bill.
if you know how to sit on a bike and make it go around a parking lot, you should take the exp. rider course. beginner course is for the truly beginners.

We'll see after Saturday. I don't remember the instructors name but he is a big guy with military type hair cut. It's him and his Wife teaching. As far as a waste of money, no corse teaching saftey no matter how basic it is a waste of money. Lets face it, even though I have road exp, I am not that experienced. Never had a dirt bike or whatever and I only have around 500 miles or LESS under my belt (besides the shit load of gyros and danish wedding cookies 
).
Granted though, I am still planning on taking the advanced one as well.
Oh and I have homework
I haven't had homework for years, blegh. lol

Welp, all done!!
I passed with flying colors.
Parts were easy but some were actually hard. Especially the low speed u-turns in an area incredibly small at near tip over speed. I learned quite a bit all in all. The written test was severely easy (got 100%) but I got a 93% total score. Only one other person got higher and he got a 100% Not to mention I was the only "sport bike rider" in the entire class. All were older adults that ride goldwings or crusiers. 
Oh did I mention that I should NOT have driven the riced out crx. Day one, the instructor was talking about how he almost got killed by ricers a few times.
BTW, who would have thought, I actually had to ride a HARLEY during the class.
