Yea boy!!!!

I should be recieving my certificate within 10 days. What an experience it was.
Going in with no experience and coming out knowing that, "Hey I know how to ride."

I strongly reccomend all you beginning or about to begin riders to take the course!!

Now I just need to find my bike!!!

You only began. You have a lot more to learn.

Congrats on the MSF. Great course. Good luck on the bikes you will ride.

What bike you plan on getting?

 

I know I still have a lot to learn, and I'm eager to do so.


I'm planning to purchase a early 90s CBR F2.

Hopefully they taught more importance than just getting a bike. Mainly PROPERLY FITTED GEAR!

Last week I arrived on a laydown. I performed shock CPR on a 'noob' rider that only had his 'bling' clothing on. He was bleeding profusely from his right fore-arm, his left thigh and his flippity-flop high top tennis shoes that were pitched 50 feet down the road left his left ankle the size of a grapefruit.

As I stood over him in my full leathers in 92 degree heat I proceeded to ask him his name, what day it was, how many fingers I was holding up, enough to access his condition. It was a mess. EMT's arrived and continued through the rest of the evac process. As I turned to walk away, knowing that all that I had done or could do was over, I saw them cutting off his blue jeans to ease their job.

I think he was doing a wheelie for his friends when a car popped out of a parking lot and clipped him. Rider fault. And he pays the ultimate price. His ankle will never be the same. And, he has to walk on that bit of foundation for the rest of his life. Life. Life that he is certainly lucky to have.

I know what all 'noobs' are thinking. It's called 'IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME SYNDROME!'

Believe me, that is all wrong, because there are only two types of riders, THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN DOWN and THOSE THAT ARE ABOUT TO GO DOWN.

No two other.

Please, gear up before you buy the bike. Because, if you buy the bike, you will twist the key and ride it. Be protected. Take the ridicule. Sliding down the pavement at speed hurts bad enough with leathers on.

actually, i wore my shoei x11 and joe rocket phoenix jacket to the course!

i'm gettting some alpinestars gloves for my bday next week and will be buying some sidis in the not too distant future.

as for the never happen to me syndrom, i dont have that... i'm fully aware of the risks of riding a motorcycle. i fully accept them.
