Ik this is a 2 year old comment. Ur if you happen to see this, background: I’m a 17 year old who has only even rode on the back of my dads bike, is this class hard to pass, should I be nervous?
@@jamesbaxterp9191 I’m actually 17 and taking the courses next month 19th 20th and 21st I’m nervous but I’ve rode a few times in a parking lot and been watching a lot of videos. will let you know how it goes.
When you said " God I love this" I felt the exact same way man. I feel that way every time I get on my Harley. Live to Ride, Ride to Live. Never quite understood the meaning of that till my motorcycle addiction. :)
I just signed up for my classes 7/6-7/8. Found your videos. Thanks for uploading this to get me a understanding of the course. I am now on video 3. This has been super helpful for me man!
Hey what's up bro!? I messaged you about 5 years ago. I think it was in 2019. After watching all your videos many times, I went back to the states (Alabama) and signed up for the 3 day classes. I took the MSF course online first, took the certificate to the dealership and then we took the riders training in the Alabama heat in July. Well, it's been fun operating my 2003 motorcycle (rebuilt/customized) for the past four years. I owe you a lot of props for helping me out with your videos. I started late in riding, but at 77 years old retired US Marine I am having a great time here in the Philippines. Take care and stay safe.
Yeah the street 500 sucks to learn on especially if you 6'3 handle bars hitting your knees in the figure 8 it wasn't for me not saying someone else couldn't pass this class i bought my own bike that was comfortable for me and passed the course with easy
If you accidentally drop the bike i know its an automatic fail but does that mean you cant continue finishing the classes? And did you take advance classes after completing basic courses?
I believe if you drop your bike during your test you fail but other than that you should be fine. That’s what my instructor told me when I signed up. Each state might have different requirements and stuff though
Man theyre booked up til next month and im ready to get my first bike, I could get my permit (in my state its a 25 question paper test that lets you ride like normal only no passengers) but ive never ridden anything but mopeds/ dirt bikes before so I feel like I might need the class. is it however many days back to back or spread out across a month? cause I work full time and only have 1 day off a week
It a friday evening, a full day saturday, and a full day sunday. If you can get a permit without the course and feel safe/comfortable doing that then go right ahead! If you feel you need the course, better safe than sorry. Possibly take a few days off work?
anyone know if this counts towards PA License? PA has been all sorts of messed up from COVID its not even funny. I was told to not expect a safety course all of 2020. gotta love government work...
You get a certificate of completion that you take to your DPS office, pay $16 (may be different for you) and get a new license with an M on it... so basically, yes.
Why were you raising your left hand? And awesome video man! I will be taking this course soon and watching this gave me a good idea of what to expect. And can you tell me what you have to wear? Full on gears or just long sleeve shirt, jeans, boots and a motorcycle helmet and gloves? Jackets etc necessary?
+Mr. Savage just to show our instructor that we were in neutral. Glad you liked it! I've got 4 or 5 more videos on the course if you want to check them out. As far as what to wear, I literally wore jeans, a long sleeve tshirt, shoes that go over the ankle (motorcycle boots aren't required, just plain old cowboy type boots is what I wore. Tennis shoes might be okay, it depends on how lenient your instructor is), and a helmet. Gloves were optional.
Gloves are in fact, optional. They do not turn you away from the academy if you show up without gloves. Same goes for the riding jacket. However, after the course, I always ride with 2 things. Helmet and gloves.
@@darkghosts115 I am not currently. Put 10,000 miles on my bike in a year then it sat for a year. sold it in June. I still love riding, plan to get another someday (probably a dual sport), but I have other interests and priorities right now (like finishing college).
I think the dealership I took mine at had helmets you could buy if you didn't have your own. I don't think they just handed out helmets for the course though.
Take mine on the 27th of may, 3 more days 😎 the lady who enrolled me said I was the youngest To ever Enroll into her class ( I’m 17) I guess they don’t get a lot of us youngsters in there 😂
Probably not a lot of youngsters wanting to learn to ride a harley lol. I think I may have been 20 when I took the course. I was the youngest in my class for sure. Good luck though!
Outlaw This or go to the dmv and take a written and driving test just like with a car. I think I had to have a drivers license but here in Texas,, you can get a mc license before you're 16 so I really dknt know. Call a local HD dealership and ask
Is it pretty hot out there when you have to wear the long sleeve shirt and jeans I signed up for the course but I'm kind of worried about having a heat stroke
I took the course in October so it wasn't horrible. It will be a little warmer taking it in August though. The long sleeve shirt keeps the sun off your skin so in a way it actually helps with heat. Hydrate the days leading up to it, take a small cooler with water, and if you need to stop and take a break, what are they going to do? Tell you no lol?
Damn dude that's the same thing I'm thinking too I'm in California going to Sacramento for the course right now the heat is insane 112 degrees I have my course in 2 weeks. I'm a big guy and I sweat like a motherfucker so I'm gonna have a hard time lol.
mmm... good question. It's been a few years. I want to say around $180. I'd recommend calling your local dealership and ask for the updated cost though.
@@jessegreen94 Like I said, it's been a while since I took mine. Prices may have changed for any number of reasons or I simply may have forgotten just how much it cost.
at 5:40 I disagree. Number one is: Can the person ride a bicycle? You need that balance skill first. Next you need to know how to stop a motorcycle BEFORE you get the ignition key. You NEVER start off a first time person like that. You get them on a 250 cc small bike. You DO NOT start the engine EVER - hide the key. You need at least 2 people. The new rider after being shown and understand every part and item on the motorcycle - they sit on the motorcycle with 2 feet down always. The second person is behind and pushes in a straight line. So when the new rider is ready they yell "go" and the person behind pushes....when the motorcycle is rolling straight ahead the person behind yells "stop". The new rider stops the motorcycle with the rear brake only. You do this over and over maybe 25 times. Then next you do the same but instead part 2 is use the front brake only each time. Maybe 25 times. Then part 3 is using both brakes equally maybe 25 times. A new person is not allowed to start the engine until they know how to stop. And be very comfortable at stopping smoothly. If that is all you do on your first day that is great. With no engine. So they have had the experience of stopping a motorcycle at least 75 times or more with no engine. There are hundreds of videos on TH-cam of "fails" of new riders getting on ... starting the engine and the motorcycle races into a fence or wall or something and the person has no clue how to stop the machine. If you can't stop a motorcycle with both brakes in a proficient smooth manner you are not allowed to start the engine. And two feet down for every stop and two feet up at the same time as soon as the person starts to push. The same when the engine is running some day. I have seen beginners fall over trying to use one leg or the other. One foot means the bike is tilted and unstable. That is how new riders crash. They must learn to stop in a controllable manner first. New riders should never be put into 'panic' first day situations. Part 2 ...with no engine.... the new rider walks the motorcycle around in small figure eights for about 10 minutes to get used to the feel of it and the steering input and how it leans a bit to turn. And NO the engine is still not running. Part 3...... to be continued is a total orientation of every part of the motorcycle especially the functional items. And how to do a pre-start inspection of a motorcycle. Part 4 …. your mindset. Are you really ready to ride every time? In a good mood, not hungover, had enough sleep, feel fully alert, not in a hurry, not worried or upset about anything, are you not prepared for the days weather? Did you forget to have all the right riding clothes on? If any of those apply. Leave it in the garage and take the bus.
Well thats certainly another way to do it lol. I agree, knowing how to stop is a handy piece of information. However, all of those videos of people riding into fences are cases where the person has NO idea how to work the clutch and throttle. So they give it a lot of gas and dump the clutch and off they go into a fence. Clutch control is key. More so than braking imo.
This is information I have saved regarding learning to stop the motorcycle first with no engine running. Clutch control is secondary later on after breaking skills are accomplished.............

Yes Sure Yes Sure You seem very passionate about this subject. Ill say this, there was plenty of bike "off" exercises. There was no pushing each other to practice braking but we fid not walk out on the first day, start the bike and practice clutch and friction zone.
