How the book work?

Texas MFS last November: Took online training courses, then 1st day of class was a 25 question test based off the online course then went to track for basic motorcycle operations. Day 2 you practice basic riding then at the end you take a riding test. It’s easy, they want you to pass. FYI 12 students and 2 had never been on a motorcycle, all passed. It was actually fun.

I passed! Classroom portion nearly put me to sleep, but the driving/riding part was a lot of fun. And the exam at the end was pretty easy. You spend 8+ hours practicing and getting coached on how to improve the skills you’re taught, and then show what you’ve learned. Much better than spending hours on end making an appointment and going to the DMV

Best way to get better: Buy a bike, do the MSF, then sell your other vehicles so you have no choice but to ride every time you leave home. Lugging 40lbs of groceries home on the back of your bike in rush hour traffic is... an experience.

Just took the msf course last weekend and I can’t stress enough how important it is to look through your turns!!! Look where you want to go! So many people in my class struggled with it and it makes those low speed u-turns so easy. Also have confidence. You’d be amazed at how much you can do with no prior experience like me. You got this!

After started riding I started to see how many drivers actually blow lights 10 seconds or even a minute after they turned red. Once you ride your awareness increases 20 time more

I watched a bunch of your videos and went to a parking lot to practice. After feeling comfortable with the low-speed drills, I went to the DMV and passed my riding test... Thank you !!

It's next-to-impossible to fail the MSF course. One of the students in my class crashed their bike right in front of the examiner and still passed with flying colors

I don't know if it was just because I had bad instructors but I was counseled out of my course because "I'm struggling too much." Keep in mind this is after they had my nerves high af from rushing through the clutch control part without explaining basically anything, and yelling at me for not understanding. EDIT: Again for clarity, I was in a class of about 12 and only 3 passed. So it wasn't like this was just me. They even pulled us to the side at one point and made a big spiel about clutch control, again without explaining anything. It basically boiled down to "You gotta use the clutch right or this isn't gonna work." That's about where the explaining ended.

I had a terrible experience during my MSF course. They went on with the riding lesson in the heaviest rainstorm we had in NJ this year (in april). 15 students, more than a full class (there were two classes at once) failed. I became sick and sore from the cold weather even with rain gear. Additionally the instructors were very unprofessional and rude with everyone, they treated it all as a joke. I personally advise people against their particular course and location but I hope everyone else has better experiences.

Good news is: you learn under the worst conditions. Now good conditions will be easy. I also had my biking class under rain most of the time (over a month in Québec) and our instructor insisted on giving the class under rain so we had a good idea of what to do and what not to do in tough conditions. It’s a pain to go through when you’re learning, but now that it’s done, I reckon it was the best thing to do. Because like it or not, you’ll hit rain now or later.

@@ariesmarsexpress I don’t know if that question was serious or not, but no, you don’t need to bring any specialized equipment other than your helmet and proper bike boots or shoes for MSF. You’ll be riding very low speeds at best. Long sleeves will do. Just be free to make all the movements you need and forget about the gloves: you’ll learn where everything is on the bike and you don’t want gloves to be in the way. Aerostitch? Meh. Give it a shot without if it rains. Keep in mind freedom of movement and weight is key to learn. Better be wet and safe than dry and stuck in something because your aerostitch is too slack on your body. Helmet and boots for MSF, that’s it.

Pro tips: - Do not be impressed by experienced riders who never got their license and act like "know it all-s". They generally have no idea how to properly ride and their tips will most likely be bad ones. Don't listen to them and say "yes, sir" to your coach and your coach only; - If you never drove stick, thing is easy to learn. Once you get how the clutch work, you'll be good. You got this; - You probably watched a couple videos of how to drive a bike at this point. You might be a tad scared by all the steps and all the things you gotta pay attention to. Do not worry: most of these things will come naturally once you'll get on the bike; - Do not overlook parts of the course you learn to drive slowly. They're the most important. That's when you'll learn balance and handling. Driving slowly between cones might sound and look stupid, but that's when you'll learn the most; - NEVER hesitate to ask your coach about ANYTHING. Don't be scared to sound or look stupid: if you wonder about something, chances are the majority of the class has the same question. - Don't. Look. Down. Look where you want to go. It seems hard to do and you might get scared at the beginning, especially if you always drove your car looking right in front of you. But persist: the bike will naturally go where you look.

As an experienced rider who started as a kid on dirt bikes I thought the training course was excellent. They covered so much, and I learned a lot. I highly recommend training. I'm in a European country and we have the basic training to become a legal on road learner. Then we have a full motorcycle test and training for that too. Does America have a full motorcycle license test for over 125cc, 400cc etc? I enjoyed all the training. Being with other riders, learning together, at your local training center, it's a great time! You might even find a riding buddy or two. Maybe practice together. You're all learning to ride a motorcycle together! What a fun time. Book it and enjoy it!

@@Google_Does_Evil_Now Good question for the MSF course in USA. I know Québec’s requirements are much higher and much more strict than in the US.

I took the MSF last month. I was the only one who passed and I was the only one there who has never ridden a motorcycle before. There were 3 of us taking the class in total, one kept dropping his bike and almost crashed and the other did not pass the riding test. I thought it was pretty easy but I did do a lot of studying about motorcycles and watched a lot of riding tutorials and I think that helped me a little bit.

@SurvivingAnotherDay

Who knew maybe studying beforehand would be helpful!

I actually just completed my MSF basic course this past weekend. While I've been riding bicycles my whole life, and I know how to drive manual, this was my first time riding a motorcycle. it was honestly so much harder than I expected. And because of that, it was even more worth it than I thought. I was completely exhausted after the first day, and I didn't know if I would make it make the second day. But I did it, and the second day was so much better. Everything just clicks at the end, and you start to finally have fun. The thing is that I can't imagine trying to learn, and do all that stuff on my own. Also, an important thing to note is that all of our "book learning" was done online at home. I'm in Minnesota by the way. We just had to take a 5 hour online course, and then bring in a printed certificate the first day of the class. I'd definitely prefer that over an in-person class, since you could take as many brakes as you wanted, you could do some one day, and finish it the next, and I could go over the material again if I felt like I missed something. Anyways, my point being that if you're a new rider, and you care about your safety or riding skills at all, you should absolutely take one of these classes. I saw some people in the comments had less than great experiences, but mine was awesome. The instructors were amazing. The main thing I would recommend is DO NOT plan to go on a hot weekend. You're spending a lot of time sitting still, or going at slow speeds. It was only 75 degrees during my course, and I literally wouldn't have been able to finish if it was like a 90 degree day. Wait till later in the year when it cools down if you have to.

The most recent MSF “classroom” section was online. We spent maybe 30 minutes in the classroom with introductions and what to expect. Then we spent the rest of that day and the next on the actual riding course. At the very end of the second day we took the final “written” (multiple choice) exam which took about 5-10 minutes depending on how much you paid attention during the online course.

I just passed mine yesterday. Four of the other five students had prior motorcycle experience, but they and the instructor were great to me. I'm glad I did it.

I took my bike out on the street for the first time yesterday with a friend and I stalled 3 times in a row on green and I can't begin to describe how embarrassing that was.. definitely need that MSF course asap

There are some good ways to practice friction zone one of the ones I did at my course was standing over the bike and slowly letting the clutch out till the bike started to make forward then pull the clutch back in and pull the bike backwards and do it again until you have it down hope this helps

I failed the first time, low sided during the skills test braking (ham fisted the front brake), immediate fail. Came back the next week and crushed it. Never rode before the first day. Was a great experience, good luck!!

Passed mine last weekend, definitely gonna remember that class man. If ur tryna ride don’t be a dumbass. Take the time and spend the bread for the class. You’ll get cheaper insurance and you’ll learn first hand techniques from the older instructors that have been doing this shit for a while. I thought I didn’t need it but surprise surprise I in fact did and am glad I took it. Be safe out there homies and watch out for target fixation. People will literally be looking at you and still drive toward you, happened to me like four days ago. Be safe love you bois ❤

Been watching these videos for years and finally took and passed mine about 2 weeks ago I bought my first bike a vulcan 900 custom ,just waiting for appointment to get that license so I can finally ride real streets

Took the msf course back in June. I did pass but decided that motorcycles aren't for me. I actually decided to ride a scooter instead. I know some people might put me down. But for myself I feel more comfortable using a scooter than a motorcycle. This week I went to the DMV and got my M1 endorsement on my license.

lol i aced both riding and classroom testing, i knew how to ride prior, but ngl i actually learned alot and it humbled me as well, but it was the most fun weekend i had in awhile :D

This video should be part of the course!

My MSF course went like this: you get the online learning and test done first and bring the certificate to the in person MSF training. Then we did the training in 1 day and not 2 bc everyone wanted to get it done that day so we stayed longer to do so

My Msf experience was a nightmare, luckily we had a patched dude in the class and we started getting loud with the instructor!

Did it a couple of weeks ago and waiting for my bike to get here, super excited to get into the riding world, already have all my initial gear and from time to time ill just walk around my housewith the helmet on just to get used to it.

I took my test in Texas and it was easy like others said, I even got rid of a speeding ticket at the same time by taking the class. I got to WA and found out they have 2 separate tests 🤦🏽‍♂️ and the process is harder. Glad my endorsement Carrie’s over so I could avoid the hassle in WA.

Bro I made the mistake so often looking at how people failed the class. I totally psyched me out a few times.

I started on a gsxr 600 and passed the dmv skills test first try 🤙that was in 2008 and after years of riding from a gsxr 600 then a gsxr 750 now I got my dream bike 🏍 05 Hayabuuuuusa

I still remember having to push the bikes around. Our instructor was real big about inspecting the bike and paying attention if we saw the gas light. But honestly the class was really informative. Plus it gets you a discount on your insurance, and you can take higher levels of the courses. I highly recommend people take the course for the reason he said. Had a buddy hard set on buying a new Harley for his birthday. He took the course, and decided it wasn't for him.

You Pass? How was it

Took an MSF class in July and had a 5hr online course for the class portion. Spent the two days on the riding course without any class time.

im so glad i took the course before watching this video because I would of been stressing about sitting in a classroom and telling each other our favorite color

I didnt have the money for a MSF course. I bought a $500 Honda Shadow just this year, passed the written test for a permit perfectly without studying. Just common sense and some advice. Did about 6k miles over the next 6 months and then passed the riding test perfectly. I did no sort of practice, no parking lot riding, just simply hit the road and along with plenty of research got very comfortable with the bike on every sort of road in the midwest from gravel roads to interstates. I dont know much but i feel confident that i know enough to be safe with the riding i do. Will definitely task courses in the future if i have the opportunity. Dont be afraid to learn the cheap way, just be smart about how u do it and be careful. Remember somebody out there loves u, dont ask me why.

Good! Congratulations. Remember: it's not the end of something; it's the start.

The techniques I learned at the MSF course have already paid for themselves many times over. No matter how good you think you are, take the class.

dude the msf is actually a really good course for beginners. in my country (europe) they dont care at all. they think you already "know" how to ride and dont even explain that much at all, depending on the instructor of course, but most are like that..

Didn't drop, stall, leave a lane, nor stop late etc. Did however misapply throttle on the last long sweeper test, causing me to ride the clutch with the engine pegged all the way around the sweeper, scraping the exhaust as I zoomed around. The rider coach about had a coronary watching this happen. My classmates cheered me as I took my place back in line. I did pass ... and never made any such mistake again.

I had a Piglet my last year in the Army 38 years ago. Everyone hated going anywhere with me because I cruised. Haven't ridden in 38 years. I will be taking the MFT in the spring.

FYSA: the military offers the MSF course on most (not all installations) for their Service Members, plus its free.

Just had my second day of my msf course, took my test. Came home and saw he posted this🤦🏽‍♂️

I have my classes on Saturday and Sunday, excited and slightly nervous

Perfect timing I have my course in like two weeks lol

When I took the msf I remember I was hooked on a conversation with one of the instructors about his collection of motorcycles and he mentioned how he needed something spicy or fast and immediately I thought of Yammie and the turbo busa so I told him you probably need a turbo hayabusa he burst out laughing and said he I was pretty cool when I look over my shoulder I see the second instructor ( the owner of the class) just waiting for me with the rest of the group pretty embarrassing experience but it was a good time

Still love the facts at the end 🎉

Passed mine today💪

As a experienced and licensed rider don't let someone discourage you from doing the msf course and getting your endorsement that way cuz I seen a guy 1 week out of msf get a bmw s1000rr because it was always his dream bike and msf gave him the skill and confidence and respect to handle that machine safely not at its limit but safely....none of me or my friends did the msf cuz we all started on dirt and did permit then liscense but we had a steep learning curve due to thinking asphalt wouldn't be much different from dirt it is...its a whole other world

"LOOK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. IF YOU TURN YOUR HEAD YOUR BODY WILL FOLLOW"

The msf course I took, all the classwork was done online the week prior, and had to be completed before you could come to the riding part.

One big note to add. The permit/test route cost me $16 and $30, the courses were $300+

Damn, you Americans have it easy. Sweden's Practical Riding test (+ the theory test which was only in Swedish) was more difficult than a University entrance Exam

Era sonho essa garagem, agora eh meu objetivo!

I live in Denmark and here it's called a motorcycle drivers license. That comes in A1, A2 and a A A1 = max 125cc and you're 18 years old* A2 = engine like a MT07 or less like down to something like a KTM 450 EXC and you're 20 years old* A = any bike and you're 24 years old* So we have to through everything like a normal license for a car, except the vehicles in the class, closed track and in real traffic are motorcycles, we get a bit extra info and questions only motorcycles experience in traffic. it is also lightly cheaper than a license for a car(mc1600$ - car2000$(that is among the cheapest I could find and max were at mc1800$ - car2700$) *or older

Hey! I passed my DMV skills test on my first try on an 02 R6, in 2003. I've never done an msf course. I've done 3 total control courses and champ school.

In PA you must first have a valid motor vehicle license before being allowed to take your written permit test. When signing up for the Course. You must have passed the ecourse and also have a permit.

I was in the class for less than three hours highly recommended the Myers during Harley Davidson riding academy in tulsa oklahoma I passed with a 92 in the classroom did a good amount of studying and passed the skills test with a perfect score and they were very helpful kind and okay with me having a bit of fun on their bike

Kinda wish we had this too in my country but here its a 3-4 month training on roads and written tests to get a motorcycle license. Its like your police officer trainings. Yours take a few month while in EU its 3 years.

taking my MSF course not this weekend but next weekend. im nervous and lowkey scared that im gonna fail. been studying and watching all kinda of videos on bikes and maneuvers and stuff to just expand my knowledge and not go completely ignorant about all things motorcycle. i hope i pass lol.

I took the MSF course many years ago. It was well worth it. Then I took the NYPD Highway Patrol motorcycle course. That course was incredible as well.

Word of advice: when they say to ride like you are invisible, I’ve heard most people ignore that, DONT IGNORE IT, I was one of those people and had several close calls cause I thought people could see me like I was in my car, and that stuck with me when I was in my car lol

That Gameboy advanced SP joke was too accurate lol

I did a course with my then girlfriend, who hadn't ridden before while I had 9 years experience. She passed first time while I was told I needed more classes. Many years and motorcycles later I can categorically state this was not based on my riding skills but her hotness. She could have ridden the cones in a straight line and the instructors would have apologised for their placement, if they could keep their tongues in their heads long enough.

Brothers, I was able to pass with 100% on the road test. HAVE CONFIDENCE BROTHERS, it makes it easier on you

I thought you needed a bike to take the course lol that’s why I haven’t done it yet. Knowing that they will provide a bike imma have to get on it now before I commit to buying
