The MSF course was a great introduction to riding. Does it give you all the answers, no. What is should do is show you how to properly stock your tool box. You can not fix stupid. Most people have no idea how little they really understand or know when it comes to almost any topic. I’m positive that that course kept me out of the Niagara river once when I was starting out. I also enjoy using my rear brake. Especially in the rain. It’s not at all like a BMX once you start to straighten up 🙂 Wet grass is also really fun to ride on with a 600. ---

> [@Spam16v](#): > > _snip_ Don’t think I’m bashing MSF, I think everyone should take it. For me it was a huge benefit. I had a kid in my class who could not start from a dead stop using the clutch, he pushed off with his feet, he passed the test. He definitely should not have gotten his license. Its not the fault of the instructors, he passed the requirements set by NYS. ---

MSF is mandatory down here… I think it should be mandatory everywhere. If you pay attention in the class, you will learn something, I guarantee it. That one thing may save your life, and to me, was worth it. ---

> [@bobbyg1243](#): > > Could be that soldier that died in Afghanistan. Really sucks this had to happen. The family is awesome and I grew up with his younger brother. I literally just saw him at the gas station the week before. It’s really odd seeing someone and hearing they passed away within a week later. I had a buddy I played hockey with that passed away, scary part was that I didnt see him for a whole year… Ran into him at the bandits game only because of moving from the 300 to the 100 level in empty seats. That night he passed away. ---

Motorcycle head on vs semi and hit hard enough that the truck caught fire. At least it was probably over quick for the guy.
