Sorry to hear Eddie, but don't let this put you down! You got this! I've been to the same MSF place and most bikes were pretty beat up, my husband who did the class with me ended up with a bike that was also really hard to shift, and he's been riding for a long time (took the class so he didn't have to go through the DMV)! Maybe you got the same one and together with inexperience you were unable to overcome the mechanical difficulty. Next time ask for a different bike. A guy in my class got his exchanged after he crashed against the fence.. and his bike was constantly dying.
You'll do great when you re-test, you'll see. Now you have the advantage of knowing ahead of time what's expecting you so you can prepare |

take the course again and look at it at another opportunity to hone your skills for free. I know, I know... the course is long and sometimes boring, but the riding skills portion makes up for the text lesson time.
if you do want to open a complaint against the instructor, I would suggest waiting till you've been through the course a second time. don't want a pissed off instructor on your tail all day long, do you? |

Also since you cannot practice while you wait for the next class, try to book it as soon as possible, so you're still "fresh" from what you've learned this past weekend |

yeah, that's what I figured... although the throttle response didn't help with my low speed maneuvering.

Thanks guys. It's gonna sound like I'm bragging but I'm actually proud of myself. I don't say that often.
I woke up at 5:45 am to go to the first class possible.. I was the first one there and both classes were supposed to be full. I waited anyways and so did my girl friend (my good luck charm obviously), and one person just didn't show up! It was BLISTERING hot today as my fellow San Diegans know, and my bike was, again, less than optimal running condition. But I made it work, didn't take no for an answer and learned from my mistakes! $@!?#%£*!!!! I can't wait till I go get my official M1 and save for the 250!!! |

HELP! yes, I'm spamming everyone from SD because I need help...
I finally found a ninja that I can afford, but I don't have a way to transport it. I just passed my MSF so no license to ride it yet because it's in the mail and the seller has it registered as non-op... If anyone could help me out, please email me asap kyug35@gmail.com with your number. I need a truck with ramps / straps.. I'll pay you in gas + beer. Chula Vista to Carmel Valley area.... |

Have you checked out U-Haul yet? I think it's $19.95 for a truck and $24.95 for the trailer with ramp (make sure it has a ramp and the motorcycle chock). I can lend you tie downs if you need, but I drive a 2 door.

Any vehicle with a hitch will work with their trailers.

Congrats! Pics when possible
I have an 08 service manual and a bunch of tools if you need. I've done quite a few things with bikes and cars, but still in no way an expert yet. Let us know what some of the issues are and we can help |
