^^^^ werd to Jim. Learning defensive riding as a motorcyclist is harder than learning to operate said motorcycle, IME. It will change your view on how you drive as well and you'll be a better car driver.

Think like a bicyclist. Everything is bigger than you, likely doesn't see you, and likely has preconceived anger towards you because of every other interaction they've had with a motorcyclist or every story they've heard about dead motorcyclists or their neighbor who's a nurse and preaches about "murder"cycles... side note: why are nurses always stereotypically so ant-motorcycle. I mean I get the fact that they see gore and all, but at the end of the day, I'm not making them ride and it's really just job security for them...

Anyhow. Cautious learning is good and I think you're off to a good start. I really think you'll benefit a lot from the MSF when you finally get there. just remember the bigger picture part that Jim said.
