are these classes recommended right after the basic course, or is it too advanced? any schools recommended? thanks in advance

 

the MSF course is great, but it completing it does not mean you should go ride on the streets. practice in parking lots, then move to the streets. get some miles under your belt, if you feel like an advanced course, take it. i would suggest taking your bike to a track day...you'll learn more than you will in thousands of miles of riding.

 

cool thanks

 

Just try not to get in over your head and youll prob live.

 

I believe the Advanced course requirement is at least 6 months or 5000 (500?) miles of riding under your belt.

 

Yeah I'd like to go back and take the advanced course some day as well.

I was anxious as well to take it right after I finished the MSF BRC.

My instructors at the time I took the MSF recommended getting about 2-3 seasons under your belt first and then coming back. Well that was about four almost five years ago. I will make it back though. I wouldn't mind doing one of their big group rides either.

 

I just finished the MSF Basic course, and they instructor told me all you have to have for the advanced course is your own bike.

But they also said there were track schools all around the country, as well.

 

they're offering free MSF advance classes in irvine california, thats a $200 value. its this month at the verizon amphiteathre. u gotta call the msf phone number.

 

OMFG Freee??? i live in irvine! oh yeahh, do you have the number>? i'm too lazy hah

i was gonna take them this year but i didnt sign up in time

they go quick in PA since they are free.

The experienced riders course is pretty good, worth checking out. Track schools teach you a lot about control too. They're pretty pricey but worth it. Check out http://www.starmotorcycles.com or http://www.classrides.com when you get some more experience under your belt.

did u get it for free bro?

 

For the advanced MSF Course, you will need your own bike, INSURANCE, registration, and a license .. along with 1 year/3000 miles under your belt*

*this is for WA

 

My ridercoach suggests 3000 miles on your own bike before taking the advanced course. That way you know how your bike handles. If you're not familiar with your bike, you might drop it during the course since they take you to the limit.

If your going to try and recommend a school at least try to sound somewhat intelligent.

This guy was trying to say that you should attend Keith Code's California Superbike School. The website is here:

http://www.superbikeschool.com

Unlike what the project implied they aren't strictly located in Southern California and they have classes all around the world for anyone else that is interested. After reading Keith's books a number of times I definitely like his method and want to attend some of his classes .

 

yeah, thanks for the heads up!

 

ooo i'm in irvine too! i've been thinking about taking the ERC... its the same thing as the advanced course right? matt groove, whats the number you called? i'm free on mondays, so maybe i'll see ya there.

 

1-887-Ride-411 (for CA i believe) I just called them and asked about it and told them to sign me up for monday 8am-4pm, see you there?

 

so it's absolutely free? you're signed up for this monday the 9th?
