justmyluck Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Just thinking about learning how to ride. Anyone have an opinion on where to take a class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I did the AD FARROW riders edge course. I grew up on dirt bikes, so I knew how to handle a bike.. But they do teach you a lot of good info on avoiding accidents.. And for someone who hasnt rode.. its a GREAT course to learn. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmyluck Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 350 bucks! That seems really expensive? Or is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 It is pricey.. But they were able to get me in the class in 2 weeks.. and its well worth the money IMO.. You ride their buel's too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 or, depending on where you live, you can contact your county BMV and take their classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'll be taking the AD Farrow course when I get back in the states this Summer. I'm pretty much going to a bunch of riding schools and this is the start point. Worth the price to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 It is pricey.. But they were able to get me in the class in 2 weeks.. and its well worth the money IMO.. You ride their buel's too.. 350 bucks really? the ohio msf course is what 25 bucks and they ALSO provide you with a bike... sucksssss... worth it to take the ohio msf course..fills up quick so if you cant get a day you want just show up as a walk on, a ton of people dont show. my mom and brother did this at the first and second session few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 When I went to get my license the Ohio course was backed up 6 months. Back in 06-07. The adfarrow course had someone back out and I was able to get right In. And the give you the bikes to ride at ad farrow. 350$ is well spent on good knowledge if youve never ridden before.

justmyluck Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah, I just checked the BMV class, its backed up till July 7th lol. Plenty of time to find a nice little training bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 If you take the class with the BMV they will provide you a motorcycle to use. I would absolutely recommend taking the Ohio Rider course. Nothing against the Harley coarse other than the fact it is more than 10 times the price for the exact same thing. If you're planning on buying a Harley and they will credit the cost of the course toward your purchase, then maybe. Otherwise go with the Ohio Rider course.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I walked on the MO class on my second attempt. It's easy to schedule an appointment for whenever but try to walk on when you have the time free. Both times i went there were open slots. Just show up about 15 minutes early and tell them you're there to try to get a walk-in slot. It used to be first come first served but now they do a drawing to keep dirt-heads from crying as much.
