Europe has much better training programs. That don't revolve around bruh bruh bruh bruh riders either. We just have shit for training here in the states.

Personally, I think the learn in the dirt when you are a kid is the best way to go about things.

I don't really give a damn what some guys who put on a class in Houston think really.

ok, so how much should a class cost? 12 students, how much you gonna pay instructors , one's that ride motorcycles (which tends to be a more affluent group then the avg car drivers).

and i agree eur. has a better system, but it ain't happening here, tiered licensing.........i wish........longer course.........lol , people can barely sit thru 2 days here.........

But the accident rate of these people taking the MSF IMO has nothing to do with taking a course or being a more educated rider. Riders taking courses as such tend to be more sportbike oriented and as a result will push their limits. Also, a large reason people take the MSF course is to get out of taking the DMV road test, which is inherently harder on a sportbike.

that link is useless, the one derf put up is better

so who do riders that crash but don't claim it on ins. tell that they've crashed? most accidents are single bike. hell, i took msf crashed and told nobody so theoretically i would add to their stat but i didn't make a claim. so of ALL the crashes how many are unaccounted for and not in the stat? i would bet alot.

sportbike riders are the minority in class. cuz young guys already know everything........lol or don't make it a priority vs a cool bike.

before texas mandated MSF to get a license, the road course could be go down the street and back.....hard i know. if you think MSF class is weaksauce, you outta see the state tests.....lol
