who? seriously... who?

I think they should make it a law that every driver and rider MUST take the MSF... increase rider awareness and help give people an understanding of the risks of being a motorcyclist... maybe it'll help people SEE me.

but asside from that... it teaches you panic and slow speed manuvering... something NONE of us practice... and often over look.

Ah ah ah,I do indeed practice slow speed maneuvering all the time. I make a game of it and try to balance at a complete stop. I still think that practicing stoppies helps you learn how to panic stop.....

It does give you better feel with the breaks and more precise modulation of excessive stopping power without locking up the front wheel and really fucking yourself in a panic situation.
