Motorcycle
I've decided to get a bike, and will be going to take the MSF course pretty soon. Anyone have any experiences with it? It cost like 280$ since I'm military and MD isn't my home state. It says on the website that there are no guarantees that you will pass, kinda shitty for 280$ they won't let you go back for free if you suck. I rode a long time ago, so hopefully that won't happen to me. I have been looking at the 250 ninjas for a first bike, they are pretty cheap. This should be pretty fun once it warms up if everything works out.

I took the class awhile ago, went into it with no experience on a bike and passed the road test with flying colors. The test is alittle more involved than the normal road test but the teacher goes over it again and again with you. I would deffantly reconment the class you wont learn all the stuff they teach you on the street, also cant beat the 10% off insurance. Plus the teacher had private lessons for the people who couldnt pass but believe me you will pass, unless you really shouldnt be riding on the road yet. and I agree with 88dx you may want somthing with alittle more *** than a 250 unless your really small.

trust me I made the mistake of buying a ninja 250 2005 model. Within 2 months I was bored as hell and wanted to get a bigger bike. I wouldn't go no less than 600cc for a first bike. You seem to have experience so just be careful and enjoy.

also i think the ninja 250 is more fun than you think (that is what i rode on 2 of the 3 days at the course the other day was a korian knockoff mini harley that was ------ huge for a 250, i think it was called a vento v-thunder or somthing)
$280 is ------- rediculas
