Noob from Queens, NY
Hello everyone!
My name is Larry. I live in Queens, NY. I stumbled on here trying to find a fix for my floppy clutch lever on my 2012 250R, found my answer and thought I’d join the forum! I recently purchased my 250R from a coworker who upgraded to an R1. I’m a new rider, scheduled to take my MSF course this weekend since so many people recommended it. Looking to meet some friendly individuals! |

Welcome! I'm glad to hear you'll be taking the skills course. There's no substitute for a human who can tell you what you're doing right, and what you need to do better.

Pretty awesome tbh, I loved all the low speed cornering maneuvers especially since I live in a large metropolitan city. The coaches were all really helpful and down to earth as well, one of the frequents the racetrack I plan on attending so I'll probably see him there often! Quote:

I've heard nothing but good from people who take their bikes to the track.
And once you get a bit of riding under your belt, you might check with the local police departments and see if they offer any additional training. Here in Los Angeles, we took a low-speed-maneuver training course a while back that was really valuable. Really teaches you what your bike can do. I went with my husband and a friend, and it wasn't this newbie who dropped the bike on the course.... |

Welcome.
Continued education is a good way to sharpen skills and at least make yourself aware of bad habits. One of the local track day organizers started a street school held at the track. I plan on attending at the end of summer to get a good critical review of my riding progress. It is also a good primer before attending there track day classes. Perhaps there will be similar opportunities in your area? |
