I would put my feet down before i came to a full stop...Instructor was like Stop ddoing that...I was like sorry it happens without me even realizing it. And I loved when we were sitting therer you HAD to have both hands on the bars...I got yelled at like 5 times for not doing it.

I passed! I fucked up on the cone swerving though. I tried doing it in 1st because I couldn't get to 2nd in time, and I suck riding around in 1st. My U-turns blew too, but I wasn't expecting much going into that part anyway. I didn't put my foot down, but made a fucked up 8 lol. Clutch issues dissapeared on the plus side. Thanks for the advice on that btw.
All in all, I'm glad I took the class. It was fun, and having the practice bike was nice too. Many lessons both big and small were learned.. including to check and make sure the kickstand is down.. This shit should definetly be required to get a license. The instructors also said they'd be happy to give one on one lessons free of charge as well for everyone wishing to follow up on what they've learned. Something I'm definetly gonna take advantage of. Now I need a bike.. and an emptly parking lot. I'm not sure if you guys know, but they updated the policy reguarding licensing. You can now get licensed to ride just from taking the beginer course. We weren't even told they updated that either, so that was a nice surprise. |

Congrats.
ND has the same rules. Get your license by passing the MSF and your permit test. |

Florida's the same way, you can get a license from taking the MSF. To pass MSF you've got to take a written test and a practical, same as at the DMV.
Congrats on passing, now get a bike and some gear, be safe and most of all, have fun
