I guess i never even did one then. When I got my M licence they just gave me a written test and some freakin cones. I thought, hmmm thats it? I edited my post to remove (crap) cause it looks like i'm the one who's full of shit Here's a word to the wise, If you are following your buddies line through the twisties keep off his/her ass by 200 ft+ that way you don't make them feel crowded, forcing them to open it up to stupid speeds to get some breathing room.. And it also gives you plenty of reaction time in case they let theirs get from under em Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

I guess i didnt phrase that right.... I meant to say, go to a course desinged around your purchase... if you get a rocket, go to rocket school.. they do have beginner track days to teach people how to handle the bike that's hands on w/video, professional instrucition and not just some tool with a book and a Marlboro who rode a few buckets to the county fair back in the day.... I didn't post that right at all... but at the tracks, the pros will put you in the know, the equivalant to canopy flight school I suppose. CannuckinUSA, your MSR sounds better than what I took in Cali. I drove around some cones at 5mph and thats it.... give me a couple hours and I'll post links...

You know what.. I beg to differ on the whole Motorcycle saftey course thing.... Maybee... but if you are at all an aggressive type of performance oriented person I'd run not walk to your nearest motorcycle shop or Borders or barnes an noble's and buy these two books A Twist of the Wrist 1- Keith Kode A Twist of the Wrist 2- Keith Kode He'll walk you through the basics in one with really nice diagrams, and thorough explanations that any grease monkey or intellectual can understand explaining camber, pitch, apex's and all kinds of fun stuff. Some of the crotch rocket makers used to include a couple free trained days at a pro circuit race track in the purchase of a new bike, I don't think anyone does that now, but I would seriously consider investing 1000 bucks in the rider courses wherever you are, I need to make it up to Laguna Seca sometime next fall.. But it was my opinion, and my buddy Dave's that the MSC would drill some of the wrong things to do in a tight situation into your head.... like what do you do if you're crusing the freeway at 85 and your're boxed in and in your lane theres a wood pallete or somthin? A:) you compress your front fork, and as its coming back up, you jam on the gas and help the collum back with your arms and drive over that shit on one wheel. Better chance of moving over or through it if you've already got the body of the bike over the object and the one wheel going over has power.. Or if you know your're going to wipe, and your're goiing 140.. what do you do? take both hands of the bars and get big like in AFF you'll be blown off the back of the bike by the realative wind and you'll lose at least 40 mph off your impending crash than if you statyed with the bike.. If you've got your leather on than you'll be on your back pad and sliding into thrid... (buy Joe Rocket gear) then theres the whole do I stay with the bike or let go of the bike? I'll share Dave's story with you, one time down on the track he just got his body on top of the side of the bike that wasnt busy grinding it self into the deck. Saving himself some road rash.. ANother time he lost it doing 160ish and was sliding on his back, telling me that he'd shift sides of his back to distribute the intense heat that was searing his armor into his skin, well he looked at the guy next to him that was sliding as well and he thought he was going slow enough to stand up. Wrong! He was still cruising when he went to get up and got pitched over a couple times and back onto his back. That wreck burned through his metal heel plated boots and ground one of his heels down. Looks like someone cut a 2.5 tablespoon block of butter sized chunk of flesh out of his heel... don't wear sneakers when you ride, there is nothing quite as unnerving as having your laces get stuck in the fuckin shifter... That sux.... Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

Maybee starting a thread about it isn't the worst idea, all ink is good ink kinda thing...product exposure and name recogniton.... NOW saying WHAT YOu THINK the answer is may ruin it for others,/ no one likes to here how a movie ends if they havnt seen it.... Or it could be a ploy at disinformation to get people to plug in the wrong answers so that it increases the odds for whoever has the right answer... but a thread about it in general...? why not... It's fun that PD set this up and I had a great time trying to crack the code and I thought it was a timely, innovative marketing campaign and give dap/props to the Art Director who thought it up....

yeah it did seem condescending. I was reading in between the lines where he was probably thinking "damn this chick is stupid" She was speaking like a Public Address system on an old loop. She could have gone somewhere interesting with the interview, but there was probably not even an inkling of an origional thought in her head.. It was readilly apparent that they were on 2 very differnt wave lengths. The smart kid did need smacked for not being able to do better PR for himself... Quite possibly the anti christ....
