I took the course in CA a few months ago with my 21 y/o son - lots of fun, good father/son bonding and the best money I've ever spent from a safety standpoint. Plus I can gloat over him because he missed 5 points in the final riding exam and I aced it!

IMHO, this is the smartest way to get your motorcycle endorsement. I did it about twenty years ago, back when there were hardly any women (I was the only woman who passed in my class) and most of the guys taking it were just trying to get points back on their licenses from speeding or other violations. But I went from never having ridden a motorcycle on Friday evening, to passing the test on Sunday afternoon. It was a VERY valuable experience.

The services have a requirement for all Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines to take a MSF-approved course before we can ride a motorcycle on base. My course also happened to be the second time I'd been on a motorcycle (Honda Nighthawk). it was really great, especially since Texas substitutes a successful completion for the driving test to get a motorcycle endorsement.

I'm very good at slow speed maneuvering, probably from cycling, so this was not too tough a course. That said, I went right from getting my endorsement to the Spyder dealer for my test ride. The very young salesman sat me on the Spyder, hopped onto an Aprilia, and the next thing I knew, I was chasing him out onto I-35 at 70 mph, roughly 40 mph faster than I'd ever ridden! What a rush. If he'd been as good at negotiating as he was at riding, I'd have gone home that day with one, but it all worked out anyway.:2thumbs:

I took the course two weeks ago at a Harley dealer north of Columbus, Ohio. We used 500cc Buell Blasts. It was my first time on a motorcycle, but I've been mountain biking for years, so lean and counter lean came naturally. I considered it a compliment when the instructor asked me how long I'd been riding a motorcycle. Within the week of graduating the course, I bought a Spyder and I'll be picking it up tomorrow!

Now I feel old, they didn't have any classes when I got my endorsement.......:doorag:
I feel older, They didn't have endorsements when I started riding.

It's never to late, you'll probably teach them a few things or so.

I try to take the MSF course every couple of years to brush up on riding skills, found out this time I've been on 3 wheels too long; passed the course, but next year I'll take the trike course if it's available. The certificate is good for a reduction in insurance fees, too.

When I was talking to my insurance agent about insurance for my bike she asked me how long I had a motorcycle endorsement I told her and told her I had been riding 5 years longer that that. She asked why I had rode 5 years before getting the endorsement and I told her they did not have endorsements until then!:D I have taken the MSF course several times I was going to take a trike course at the upcoming International Trike Rally in Aug at Branson but they only had room for 14 trikes and it was already full.:gaah:

Great story about your insurance DannyS. People reading SpyderLovers who are researching / contemplating buying a Spyder should see this post as a huge plus for the Spyder. You and the other long time motorcycle riders who now own and enjoy a Spyder add a ton of validity to the machine. :bowdown:
