In a year or two, you might want to try the advanced course to give yourself some follow up to the excercises. You use your own bike, too. Plus it keeps the info fresh in your mind. > > When I did the advanced course, a guy on a heavily modded road king dropped his bike 3 times. He was so bad, he should have been riding a bycicle. Not makin’ fun of him, just pointing out that just because one has ridden on the street, doesn’t make them a good rider. Best to learn in a controlled environment, though. What all is the advacned course about? I took the basic class last summer, and I fell I not only became a better rider, but a better driver. I think every person on the road, on a bike should have to take the course. I was out riding with a few buddies yeaterday, that range anywhere from riding 12+ years to just riding their first street bike. And I gotta tell you not a one of them, other than me, has had the course. I saw so much stuff that are no-nos in the course that I woner how they have made it this long. In my class there was one woman that has been riding for 5+ years that laid the bike down one time during a practice ride. She stopped, started looking at her boot and fell right over. But in the end everyone passed, although she was the closest to not, with only one point to spare. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pamsp/200229)._
