Ketia0 0 #26 May 14, 2010 Oh, I'm completely positive I will learn something, in fact I know I will learn alot. I have heard alot of good things about these classes.. It just upsets me that its mandatory sat. and sun. I heard from another guy, but have yet to confirm it, that they provide a bike and helmet at the training. Do you know if there is any truth to this Dave? Thanks And yea, i would love to ride with you. I plan on driving her up to your DZ. Christie said its a nice DZ.

Eh, maybe, call and make sure that the helmet is provided, the bike should be for the first MSF course. The ERC requires your own bike, which is the next step. Many times they require long sleeves, boots of some sort and gloves. Holler when you're going to come up, my weekends are jumbled between Texas Swoopers, trying to train and family obligations.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

NickDG 23 #40 May 14, 2010 You've got to show up with your own helmet, gloves, and over the ankle boots. At least that's how it was for my GF when she did the course about two months ago. NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluheelrtx 0 #41 May 16, 2010 Quote Once it's all done, we can meet up at Yankee's in Carlos. You can ride the Sam Houston forest on the way in and I'll enjoy my routes on the way in. Ever been there in a car? It's interesting. I have three bikes and the GF has one, but the time we were road tripping in her Miata and decided to rest there, they looked at us like we were aliens. Too much fun.-- Jason -- Some people never go crazy. What truly boring lives they must lead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ketia, I took my MSF course from Awesome Cycles www.awesomecycles.com and they did a great job. They are local to Houston and actually mak the course interesting and fun. If you decide to go with Awesome Cycles and you land David (with the mohawk) as your instructor, tell him I said HI. Oh and they do provide the bike, but their helmet selection is limited. Might I recommend that you purchase a helmet ASAP and use it at the course? Good luck with the bike and PLEASE get your license and insurance coverage before you ride.
