Almost forgot.

So after three and a half years I decided to go do the MSF Experienced Rider's Course. Took a day off this past Thursday and brought my bike in to ride. I learned a few things, the first being that my next bike purchase has to be new tires, mine are done. Also, lowering my bike fucked me up in the cornering, I was dragging shit like I was back at the Gap! And finally, I've learned a lot. Out of everyone in the class including the sportbike kid I consistently did the best in the Box. Usually I do pretty awesome in the box, you can ask around, but this was the riding box and I punished it. Rode the small box on my heap, carved my way through without skipping a line once, NOBODY else did that. I feel good about myself. Now off to get new tires, I've got eight grand on these.

Yeah, but now I've had it with a lot more people. I need to just raise the fucking thing back up, but I don't want to pull a Rogue and look like an 8 year old trying to sit on daddy's bike.

So I'm stubborn and hard headed when it comes to lowering a bike.

And I don't look like an 8 year old on daddy's bike. . . .

I did the same course about 2 months after my first MSF class. It was basically the same thing.

I've been thinking about taking the ERC for a while but was wondering about the content. So it was a good course?
