Before, taking the course would exempt you from the riding test but you could get a license on your own with no formal training. I know a couple of instructors and they're not happy about this. Classes will obviously now be booked solid (good for revenue, I guess), but now instead of having students who are taking the class because they want to do it, there will be a lot of disinterested students who are just going through the motions to qualify for a license.

There are some very good points brought up here on "your first bike" and it can last for days on end with other peoples view points. The most common advise is: Taking the MSF course is the best thing for new riders. Also, riding with someone that (you trust) to help teach you. Experience with anything comes with time.

Did we pick you up with the ugly maroon rollback wrecker with an ugly guy with red hair and a goatee driving? Didn't have sound control set up out there that often, I think I remember the car. Was Wayne out there at sound control that day?

I'm pretty sure Wayne was at sound that day. I was pulled in by a flat tow to the paddock gate near garage 4.
