My aunt is in town for her high school reunion, I asked her about helping me but her flight leaves at 7 tomorrow morning. she's been riding forever.

This feeling is hard to overcome (the one, that you are holding up entire class), but we always say to our students "ride your own ride" and do our best to help everyone.
Two questions:
- your state/MSF in Ohio offers BRC2? This is the course, where you use your own bike to learn and to pass skill test in the end. In NJ this also gives you a waiver for DMV road test.
- Does your school offer IME (introductory motorcycle experience)? Its 101, where you learn the very basics of clutch control/shifting/balancing the bike and you can ask to use this very bike in the BRC class later, if you decide to retake it?
