Congrats!

I started riding over 20 years ago, and had a 650cc bike. It wasn't too bad to learn on, but it certainly was not as forgiving as the 250cc Ninja. It has been a long while since I last road (my license had expired some years back and when I got my new one, I did not get the motorcycle designation) and decided recently to purchase a bike for commuting to work every now and then. I bought the 2009 Ninja 250r after a bit of research, and then I decided to sign up for the MSF course. I was actually doing this to avoid the DMV road test (and to please my wife), but I am glad I did. Not only was it fun, but I learned a lot of things. I too struggled at first with the box u turns but after a couple of practice runs, I got it down pretty good. I aced both the written and the riding test and got my certificate.

I would encourage everyone who has not attended this course to do so. We had 3 people in the class who had riding experience, and we all felt that we got something out of this class.
