I've never heard of the MSF offered on weekdays. Why not hit up the DMV when they're not open? If they offer Motorcycle-Testing at your location, you can practice all you want on their "course," assuming it's not being used.

That's a good point. If you can spare a weekend, you could always go out to the MSF event and watch them ride around in circles.

Good luck with the phone call to MSF.

Kinda off topic, but here in Ohio it's illegal to practice on the DMV's course. I've had my endosement for a while, but my roomate just got his M, and I took him down there before to practice and sure enough after the first few times we went, they put up a sign that showed the law so we stopped going back.

I guess they don't want you to cater your practicing to a specific set of tests. If anyone is practicing on the courses just be careful!!

Really??? That is backwards logic. I can't imagine why they would not want you to practice on the course that is supposed to test some basic motorcycle control abilities. Unless, of course, the test doesn't REALLY measure anything.

You could find an empty parking spot, copy the design of the DMV Ohio test, sketch it with chalk, and use that.

thats basicly what the MSF class is.. a 2 day practice for the DMV test (which they give you on site instead of at the dmv of course)

hey i got a question guys, the paperwork they gave me says i need over-the-ankle footwear. What about those motorcycle street shoes that just have the ankle protectors sticking up over the top, is that acceptable?
