Passed the MSF class! Woot Woot!
Just got done with my second day at the beginners course and had a blast! So many cool people and my instructors were just awesome, he said he loves Ninja 250R's. It took place 9am-6pm (actually went to around 7:00 or later because of all the breaks and starting late and such). There were 2 classes, the morning class and the afternoon class, no one fell or ran off the range in our class, but one girl in the other class dropped the bike during her testing at the end (automatic fail) and was luckily given the opportunity to join our class's evaluation and she passed. Still, the conditions were so poopy, it was cold, dark and raining, and the bikes didn't run too good at all.
Definitely tougher than I expected, especially because we had to hop on these standard motorcycles with a seat height and handlebar height I wasn't used to. A lot of it's technical stuff but you get used to it. TL;DR Here's all of the pics I took when I could, again, really bad weather for most of our first time's riding, 30-45 degrees, cold, wet, slippery and rainy, but it really was a great experience. |

Thanks so much guys! I was also the youngest one there. I'm 17 but turn 18 next month. So glad I got through with it at my age so I can ride the rest of my life!

congrats! I still remember my msf course like yesterday, it was so hot out I considered myself lucky to own a perforated long sleeved shirt. I was melting but I wasn't melting as much as the farmer kids wearing flannel
what did they have there? looks like buell 500s but I'm not really sure. |

Congrats! I had kinda poopy weather on the full range day of my MSF course, too. It's great that you stuck it out and did well.
