Wow....There are plenty of REAL rider safety classes, if its the group that bothers you ask the instructors. Not for nothing but there probably aren't many people here who are qualified to teach anyone much of anything! I don't know them all but unless they are certified to teach I'd say look elsewhere!

That being said that 1000 is a hell of a cherry popper! Hope you have your head screwed on straight or it'll end up in a ditch! There is VERY little room for error on that kind of bike!

Be careful, and learn all you can before you go out hitting the local rides!
