Motorcycle Course

[alanmcorcoran]

The courses vary from state to state so you should check with your fellow Tennesseans (?) To get started typically all you need is a reservation, a long sleeve shirt, long pants, some money and a MC permit, but, again, this varies from state to state. There are a number of threads on here that include opinions as to the merits of the courses. Most members rate the courses very valuable. I thought they were somewhat overrated and inefficient. I think the sooner in your MC career you take one, the more useful it is.

Hi Doris. I'm a newbie myself having taken the MSF course in SC in January and gotten my license. I found the course very useful for the slow speed control drills in addition to the general riding aspect. It will all depend on your instructors but I must say the two we had were great. Plus we had a small class which meant more practice time and more personal observation. I would recommend the course especially as a new operator. Good luck!

I would recommend the course as an old operator. I probably rode for the first time when I was 12 years old. Waited 50 years for riding lessons. Bikes really are easier to operate at low speeds if you know what to do.

Texas just mandated (sep 1) that anyone applying for a motorcycle license has to have a MSF cert.
