That's good that your taking the course. You learn a lot of stuff that you think you would never use until it hits you in the face out there in the streets.
Be easy on the throttle out there, those little 250's are badass!
When I took the MSF course. I was the only one out of 50 to get a perfect score on the physical riding test. I missed 2 on the book test though. The class over all is pretty easy, just long I guess. Takes up your whole damn weekend pretty much.
I remember I drove my bike to the class, and everyone was looking at me like, wtf!? Aren't you here to get your license, but your driving your bike here?
The instructor didn't like that idea much, but I drove the bike all 3 days.
