I can relate to this...

JimRBlue and High Revs Ron were at my MSF classes for support and advice. And trust me I needed it! Even AFTER taking the class I was not ready for anything other than more parking lot practice. Even the 2 course instructors told the entire class NOT to go out onto the roads after completing the course. They told all of us we now had the basic skills and knowledge but were not "road ready" until after more practice.

And my first go at it was on our neighbor's dirtbike in a parking lot. Jim and the neighbor tried to teach me and I did "okay" but kept stalling the bike. I eventually made a turn too wide and than tried to compensate and almost drove straight into our garage door. The bike fell and I fell with it. I was lucky because I only banged up my knee.

TAKE THE DAMN CLASS !!
