Deciding to ride a motorcycle

didn't work that way for me...

Me neither. Having seen the MSF classes in action, I wasn't impressed.

Some are under the impression that you just take the class and start riding.

Nothing will replace the years oif experience and seat time.

Do agree with the "skills appropriate bike" thing though. Most of my riding freids started as little kids in mini bikes, moved up to 90cc and 125 cc MX bikes, then 250 and open MX bikes before street bikes. This was all done over many years - around 15 years - before graduating to liter bikes in their mid 20's.

Then after 20 years of street and track riding, they are all fast as shit, safer as shit and are enjoying a lifetime of riding.

But no MSF classes.

Yeah I didnt wanna go home so I went big and bought my Fireblade as a first bike. I've had two minor spills and a couple close calls but I'm still riding. I've taken the MSF course and such. It's all about respecting the machine. It will kill you!
