I'm thinking of taking a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course this spring to refresh some skills and learn new ones.
My question is... Do you think I should take the later class when I have more miles on the engine?
By the date of the class, I will have about 800 - 1000 miles on the odometer.
It typically will be cooler weather on June 9 and it is more convenient, but I could wait until June 30 and get another 500 - 1000 miles on the odometer. Both classes have spots available.
These classes generally consist of a lot of engine idling in a parking lot while waiting for your turn to practice/perform a skill. There will be a lot of low speed riding and clutch work.
I want to take it on the NC due to it being easy to ride and it won't boil me to death with engine heat. Then I can practice the drills with my portly ST1300 on my own time in cooler weather.
