Ohio MSF Dirtbike
@snot @NDspd @csmith12 @choneofakind
So back in March, Chris (@choneofakind) mentioned about going to the MSF dirtbike course for the day. Did some research and it is only $50 in Troy, Ohio. MSF provides the bike and the gear for the day. The date which has been scheduled for this event is Saturday, July 14th @ 11am. I know it is kind of last minute but it would be a great ninjette meet. I reserved 8 spots of the group event and I have two friends who will be joining and I know @csmith12 will be joining also. So if you're interested in coming, please PM by this Wednesday at Noon so I can send the registration form for the event.

I got bad news. I can't make this. I hit a cow in my cage. Yes, I said a cow. Now I have to handle this crap instead of having fun. No steaks out of the deal either. Insurance is going to take care of the repairs ($500 deductible).
So I am heading to the store to get some milk and out of the tall grass comes a juvenile cow. I tried to stop and swerve but it was to late, front end took a hit. Bumper, grill, marker/head light and radiator will need replaced. I am super bummed because I am just getting back into riding dirt after 15 years and wanted to be taught good techniques, rather than the trial and error that got me through my mid-teen years. Somebody go to this and pick up my slack and take notes for me. Have a blast and I expect a full report w/ pics.

Well, if you had waited a few years, you could have hit the cow AND gotten milk! Glad you didn't get hurt; I've seen what deer can do, much less a cow.

Let's reschedule this if possible. I have known about this for a few weeks but others haven't. Let's set a new date and hit it, hopefully without any issues.

I would be interested in this, possibly. It depends on the date and how far I would have to drive as I know there is one about 30-40 miles from my current location.
I had hoped to take the MSF BasicRider Course and the Dirtbike course this summer, but only accomplished one. |

I couldn't find a schedule for their 2015 events yet. Seems like most orgs right now are still working their schedules.

I also did a bit of research on this as well. It will be a very basic course and assumes that the rider has never ridden a dirt bike before.
Here it is 2015 and I have been back into dirt for 2yrs now. I would love to take my son and daughter to this when we do it. I hope they post their schedule soon.

Ok, so this place is where I took my MSF class for my endorsement. I know exactly where it is and... I can see the course. The way they work is, in the next month or 2 the schedule will be posted. Once it stays light after 6 (or I remember on a weekend) I can try to take some pics and post them if the course. I know there is only 1 dirt mound (can be seen frrom the street).
Oh and it is less than 10 min. from me.

I would be interested, but since it's a MSF course I would assume this. I'd be more likely to participate if it was something along the intermediate to advanced level.

This is also the place I took my endorsement, but there's like 2 little hills. I'd rather join my friend in NC and have him teach me on a GS1200.

If it was just me, I would agree. Let's do something more advanced. But I will be honest with you cats. I want to start my kids off right, but.... if they can't make the date. I don't mind doing something different.
I have a 100 acres behind my house to get dirty in. We can do a formal dirty msf or just go get dirty somewhere. I have a couple of dirt bikes, if you name a time and place, I will bring what I got and we will sling some mud.

I am not sure it would be worth the drive up for you. I still need to go by and take some pics, hard to do right now. Give me a little time and more daylight and I will at least post pics of Honda's course.

Can't say I would be able or even interested in making this particular thing but I am always up for trying to meet people to ride in the dirt. I would like to make a trip this year somewhere new to ride. WV, KY, TN IDK?
