Brandon, Sean is right. Pay the $225, go for 3 days, ride a little 250 cruiser out at the airport, get free breakfast and lunch, and pass the class. With out the MSF course under your belt, it's like driving without a license. You're going to have to appear infront of a judge, and depending on if you get an attorney or not, it will definitely end up being a hassel not worth it. Plus in the end, you're going to have to take the MSF anyways. Just get it over with. Not only does it make you eligible to ride a motorcycle legally, but it also enhances your skills through out everyday driving experiences on the road.
