Great advice Toby. It’s been several years since I did the MSF course. I think as you pointed out initially new riders or beginners get caught up in there own heads worrying about other people watching or judging them, but in fact everyone there is more worried about trying to pass the course themselves and focusing and perfecting there own riding skills. It’s getting over that initial anxiety that’s probably hurdle for alot of folks. Good topic 🙂🏍️👍
I agree!!! Things like this are one of the great perks of riding. Seeing stuff like this without seeing it through a glass vehicle window. Ride safe!!!
I 100% agree with you and do the same thing. It's a great habit and practice to adopt and keep. But I will not render or return a biker wave to a Slingshot. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ride safe!!
@@WeAreOne-31 The biker wave is biker to biker (bikes, trikes, and Can-ams). Slingshots are automobiles. Slingshots have steering wheels, bucket seats, seat belts, and (most importantly) do not require a course or "M" endorsement on the license to operate. It's no knock or insult towards Slingshot drivers or the vehicle itself. But some Slingshot drivers think (and act like) they should be treated like motorcycles. If you go to a motorcycle event or rally you may even see Slingshots (wrongly) parked in areas specifically and legally marked for motorcycles. Great question! Thank you for asking!!
Man it has been forever since I went through MSF. However if you are one of the ones that stress about the back to back U turn remember you don't fail for going outside the lines (take the whole parking lot if you need to) just don't put your foot down. That is an auto fail on your test. The trick is once you pass continue to practice on your own until you nail it.
That's a great point RustyTheBiker! The final test is a point-based test like a driver's license. The lower the number (points) the better. And YES...PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! Thanks for sharing and ride safe!!!

Thanks, Doyle!
I was raised to speak to everyone 💯, mopeds, sling shots, Trikes, big wheels, or human beings. 🎉
