Study material?

[Rexsname]

I am taking the class this weekend and would like to go into it not totally blind. I have been reading over on ADV and am excited to take the class. Does anyone have any reccomendations on resources or study guides?

Thanks,

REX

"the class"?

Dude, I think I speak for a few of us here when I say, I don't know ****** you're talking about...

I wouldn't worry about it, the class (MSF Basic Rider Course) is set up for folks who know little or nothing about motorcycles prior to the course.

Just go and have fun; that's what motorcycles are about!

-H-

Wait, you mean you dont read each and every post of mine?:Wow1: You can't read my mind?! The class I'm referring to is the Basic Rider Course put on by the motorcycle safety foundation. I have wanted to learn to ride for quite some time and now I get to take the class.

search for "motorcycle crash" on Utube


and insure you don't do any of the riding techniques pictured:costumed-smiley-007



seriously the basic course covers all you need to know......

balance and clutch control can't be learn't from a book.

Hopefully you already know the roadsigns......

In the UK they teach bike riding slightly diferent than the law....ie you are expected to speed on your test.........but just a little

Pretend the cages are all trying to kill you. That's about all you need to know.

The Basic Rider Course is geared for folks who have never touched a motorcycle. Go, have a good time, and enjoy yourself. Then buy a motorcycle. You'll never regret it!

As it turns out, no study was needed. The written test was so easy I think I could have passed it with out taking the class. Some of the riding skills however.........Not so much.

When in doubt give it gas. What more do you need to know? Oh yeah, brakes only slow you down.

Neither Rob or Andrew are paranoid either. J.D. McGrath nearly took me out on Olivas Adobe Dr. ~20 years ago. My GPz 305 moved his Blazer's rear axle sideways nearly a foot! I went UNDER the fuel tank. ~175 feet of road rash and it could have been a lot worse.....

My XR250 has a plate, but I don't use it.
