who? seriously... who?

I think they should make it a law that every driver and rider MUST take the MSF... increase rider awareness and help give people an understanding of the risks of being a motorcyclist... maybe it'll help people SEE me.

but asside from that... it teaches you panic and slow speed manuvering... something NONE of us practice... and often over look.

Ah ah ah,I do indeed practice slow speed maneuvering all the time. I make a game of it and try to balance at a complete stop. I still think that practicing stoppies helps you learn how to panic stop.....

It does give you better feel with the breaks and more precise modulation of excessive stopping power without locking up the front wheel and really fucking yourself in a panic situation.

Of course,they sticky it,I never said the advice was bad douche-nozzle,I said the presentation is too sanctimonious!!!

Oh little ol' me? I don't know much of anything about...what you call them again? Oh yea motorcycles.... nope,I just started riding day before yesterday...

man another good analogy, wouldn't the NBA's be like riding SS bikes? vs a beginner bike? i mean there's not alot faster on the roads, esp. for the $. so should a person start in NBA's or in the junior league's?

as for ever person taking the MSF, well it prolly would be a good idea, and who's to say there's not legistion being looked at that might go that direction, esp. w/ the new nanny director in charge.

if i remember you claimed to have been in the military, is that where you took MSF? cuz it's mandatory for all military riders, and sportbikes deaths have been so bad recently, that the military is now mandating sportbike riders (not cruiser riders) to take a 2nd class, still looking for details on that one.

fact 90% of motorcycle DEATHS (not injuries or crashes) are people who are self taught or taught by family and friends. crazy odds.

what are the odds that a young person on a SS person is gonna crash? ask your insurance agent what full coverage is, and get back to me.


as for starter bike, crazy how the most of the world, who taking biking more seriously have tiered licensing, where you have to start w/ a small cc bike as a begineer bike, vs. the wonderful USA where a then noob like yourself could get a beast like a VMAX (the rebuttal for " i made it " is in the contested post.

lucky for you my knowledge is 2x yours, i started riding the day before yesterday.

I was Akraybill over there. Fellow Texas MSF guy. Sorry, that second sentence was for everyone else here, explaining the original audience of the writeup. I get a little peeved when I see it posted around with no mention that someone else wrote it.
