This includes the OMRL race on Aug. 5th (Sunday), come and watch some of the riders. You would be amazed at what you might learn from observing in person, you could also ask questions and meet some friendly faces.
Same as any track day... Just go watch and get to know some of the riders, you never know who might be close to you or who might help.
Don't give up, and don't give in to your condition. Once You get through you will learn, it will be the most relaxing thing you can do.

I can see about going to watch a class. I won't be able to record, Motorcycle Ohio doesn't allow that. I'm going to go to Mid O and get instruction from csmith12. I already checked my work calendar and cleared it with the owner to get that Monday off so I can go Sunday/Monday. I just gotta get a hold of him to work out the details (just got home from work).
I'm not giving up. I credit that partially to my being stubborn and partially to my having ridden my bike a few times. If I hadn't done that and already proved to myself that I can ride a motorcycle if I practice and put my mind to it, this class experience would have left me thinking that maybe it wasn't for me. But thanks to my bike, I know I can, and I know that rush and that feeling of that huge grin on my face when riding down my street, and I'm not letting that go.
