u hav eto do 2 figure 8’s… then weave in and out of cones, turn around at the end of them, then coming back you have to get up to a certain speed then not hit the brakes until you are past a certain line and stop right beside the testing guy. Pretty easy… u’re money if you can do the figure 8’s ---

I went down to bridgeville and noticed a big yellow square, figured thats where you have to do a figure 8, LOl i tried on my bike I think I might have to stick to get the permit every year. ---

Do the MSP coruse because you will do it on a small bike and won;t have a problem. Plus the MSP course is based on points not pass/fail. ---

If you take the Experience MSP, you ride your own. If you take the Basic MSP, you ride theirs. They can license you from both classes. ---

haha i just got my license thru PAMSP last night. it’s so easy to pass. the only people who fail are the 50 year old biker chicks. man, i completely bombed the figure eights. i guess i completely forgot and just did a big u turn. don’t even remember it, lol. lost all the points on that one. i got 100% on the braking, swerving, and turns. man, i love those turns… just rip on the throttle. ---

MSF is the reason there’s shitload of ppl on motorcycles that don’t have the first idea how to ride one. IMO good luck… sounds like you’ll be passing for sure ---

Don’t waste your time with the experienced class, ERC. Save your time and energy and go do a track day instead. ---

> [@ninjenn](#): > > I will have to agree with this. I would not want to even be in a car knowing that some of the people that were in my class were on a bike… some people were just AWFUL. I disagree. I know my class weeded out the really scary people. And even the ones that barely passed were MUCH better off for having taken the course. Remember, they could have kept riding on their permits without having any instruction whatsoever. Those are the riders that really scare me. ---
