The Start of my further Interest: Motorcycle Lessons

So in reflection of the gas prices getting higher I started to find interest in motorcycles to curb the economy strain from the pump. So I decide to look around at options for learning how to ride a motorcycle because I have never done so previously. I found that my local Harley Davidson Dealership offers a course put on by the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) offering this course every week and weekend. Nice thing about this class it that is can be offered after typical work hours for most people.
Through out this course students learn the mechanics of riding a motorcycle, the road rule, and general concepts of safe riding techniques. Well the course will not teach a student everything it is much more in depth then learning on your own, also as of June 2009 the course is required by law to get your motorcycle lessons.

The course offers you a chance to ride on a real motorcycle. If any who have never ridden before starts this course the 500cc Buell Blast (picture below) looks like a monster when you first start. By the end of the class the same motorcycle looks like a little puppy dog.

Each motorcycle has the students name placed on them to identify both the rider and the motorcycle when you enter the driving range for you two days of learning.

Many people find that two days are not enough, I believe the same.

I feel the class should be a full week of riding and learning the concepts, however I understand cost and maintenance of the program would be expensive if that were the case. A ride must ride about every week to keep skills up and once out of the class a student must be able to ride a motorcycle.

The class offers a limited rental of a motorcycle from the dealer for 50% off which can be used to rent any particular motorcycle within 30 days, which is a pretty sweet deal.

All in all the course was a ton of fun and I highly recommend every rider takes the course.
