Well, I completed my first session (2.5 hours of class room time) yesterday night. I must say, it was boring. I can honestly say I didn't learn anything new last night. Probably because I've already read most of what is covered in the first part of the book on this forum, the DOT information booklet for my permit, or other websites.
I'm not trying to bash the program, as I can see how it would be very helpful for new riders or people that haven't scoured the internet reading anything they can get their hands on regarding motorcycles and riding. I'm just hoping that things pick up from here. I kept an open mind, and I can honestly say I was excited to go to the class yesterday! I just wish they didn't cover such basic things as "what are the handlebars, shift lever, front brake, rear brake, etc". Yesterday was definitely paced and designed for someone that has never ridden a motorized 2 wheel vehicle. This isn't a bad thing, but it does make for a boring class for those people that have.
I'm sure I'll pick up some great things, especially at the riding portion. At the very least, I'll get an insurance discount and my motorcycle license once I complete the class.
VegasRider, please tell me things get better from here!
