As a MSF ridercoach, I hear this all the time. "I wanted to do this and that to make the class easier or be more familiar with the bike." Thing is, that is what the class is for... all it does is cheapen the value of the classroom and biases the range drills to the negative perception of value. And now you're sitting there for that period of time listening to stuff your already know.
If the TX class is anything like the KY BRC, then the class is already set up for your success. Practice before hand in the name of "just to pass", need not apply. And honestly, if you get the right coach, the class is actually kinda fun too.
I hope you get all of that and more for your class. Good luck and be safe out there.
EDIT: bummer about the drop, at least it was only a little scratch. Wish I was that lucky when I dropped my bike the first time. lol
