The MSF course does work. But how many people, after riding the 125's in class with full gear, will show up to their favorite hangout, and get heckled by the "bro's" about their bike and over use of safety gear. After riding 500mi or close to it, they are experienced riders. Time for an upgrade. 750lb. cruiser, 1000cc sportbike...hop on! It also seems alot of people already have their bikes picked out before they even are enrolled for the class. Their are many fingers that can be pointed, but what it comes down to is knowledge. Knowledge people do not recieve withour proper guidance.
