Riders Edge
« on: October 08, 2009, 06:40:58 AM »
Well,

I'm in for it now!!!   I start Riders Edge tonight with my Daughter (21yrs and all of 5'2) and my 16 year old son.

I have taken MSF before but they wanted me to take the class with them. (I suspect so they can tell me "Nuh uh uh,

thats not what they taught us in class"!) LOL

Any advice???

Enjoy it, as a Riders Edge instructor I just had a father and daughter in class.  This is not unusual, and works out well for everyone. 

Let us know how it goes.

Here's a good for you. I took the class last year with my wife for the same reason you are. Now, remember the answers to the first part of the test is YES - there is no NO's. This was like a quiz not the end test. Good Luck

So true, in my day we learnt on our road craft on the road, riding alone or with our crazy friends!
Amen to a proper education.

Jesse concentrating on the swerve portion.   I just noticed his helmet isn't tight!!!!    Instructors were pretty tough.....you had to dismount totally if you were even just cleaning glasses. All gear all the time on bikes.    I'm actually quite suprised they didn't catch him as they told others to "tighten up"

In the main we had a great time!!!!    Conni had trouble with cramping on her clutch hand but she toughed it out!!!

Instructors checking her gloves fit after a particularly long riding session.  (She was in pain and they could tell)
