It all starts right here..Motorcycle Safety Foundation

Absolute MUST do for new riders (and once you get some experience, the Advanced Rider Class is excellent too) !! Invaluable information, skills & techniques that will last you a lifetime of riding.

im curious (already have the begginers scheduled ) but like would you go directly from one weekend taking the begginers course and then schedule a advanced or what ??? is it the same price ???? forgot to ask i was so excited to get the dumb ass lady the info what the hell do they need to know your height for ??????? they dident ask weight just height

Many states the courses are free, some you have to pay for, so you'd have to check the website or call them for info about that.

But NO, you don't take the beginners then go right to the advanced..especially if you're a new rider!!! There's no way you'd pass the advanced course a week or 2 after you just completed the advanced course. You need time to practice your skills and learn on your bike. The advanced course is taken on your own motorcycle, unlike the beginners course.

:iagree: :withstupi

It was free for me back in the day but not sure for it now. But like N4S said....you don't take both courses right after the other. Ride your bike and get to know it. Its going to take you a bit of time to know your bike so don't rush it.

I just took the safty course last month. I had rode my brothers dirt bikes growing up but the course helped very much. Still learning and getting better on my ninja but at least I can ride on my own now. I came across this site and though maybe I would learn a thing or two from the people here.

It's a few long stories...

Short version...

1) I work in the gas industry and can tell you lots about it.
2) I ran out of gas once! It sucked and wasn't my best moment.
3) If you piss me off I'll gas your family! :lol:
