I do believe the MSF instructor is a hypocrite.

and just my but argue'n a point that you don't believe in isn't stupid... it shows KNOWLEDGE about the subject. easy to argue from YOUR viewpoint... quite another to defend one you don't fully support.

I just don't see how he's a hypocrite...as has been stated,the MSF does not have/teach any guidelines on what bike someone should start on. Maybe this guy is part of the minority that believes that whether or not a noob crashes is more dependent on the rider than on the bike. Just being an instructor doesn't automatically guarantee that he follows the "everyone must start on a 250" rule. I took MSF on a V-Max and no one questioned it.....
