Indeed!

The people who actively seek knowledge before taking the course will always do well. You'll do great brother! Thanks for watching the video.

Same here, my msf course is on July 20/21. I've been practicing and watching videos nonstop cause I'm a bit nervous for the figure 8 box

@@Cristina-coolwoman mine is July 20/21 as well!

Solid!

THIS is what I would call a perfect experience! You were brave, made mistakes, saw the outcome of the mistake, fixed it, and passed! Congrats!

Hell yea brother! Congrats!!

Definitely congratulations on your passing of the MSF COURSE. Have fun and Ride Safe my friend.

Did u have no riding experience?

@@6GearCutloe😅😅😅😅😅😅 8:20 😅

Thanks brother! Let me know how the course goes. Good luck!

Thanks Allen! I hope the course goes well!

Hell yea! Good luck out there! Let us know how it goes Deno!

That's exactly what the drills are for. They know those slow speed drills are hard, especially for new riders, but they want to show you how important it is to get comfortable with those drills because anyone can go fast but it takes skill to maneuver the bike in slow speeds. Thanks for checking out the video brother! Let us know how the second day goes.

@@6GearCutloe Hey so passed the class no problem, did the course on the KTM 200 that the school provided so it was one of the better bikes of the fleet. Never road before other than ATVs etc so I know what going "fast" on a machine like that feels like so I think that helped a lot. Actually got to be the Bike Lead for most of the drills and the skills exam. I was happy with instructors and the knowledge they had to give and the attitude the rest of the class had towards learning. After you complete this class and get your license, you still have such a long ways to go but you can feel confident that if you apply the skills you learned in this class, you'll have that foundation to grow as a rider. My journey with that starts today and I hope the people that find this video and this message understand that you can accomplish any challenge with the right mindset and self assessment. Finally happy to say I'm apart of the club and can do that biker wave lmao

@@pappabear7617 Awesome! Congrats!

I'm glad you mentioned the Bicycle part. I'll probably make a video on that. Most people come to the course and haven't ridden a bike in YEARS. Riding a bicycle will put you ahead of the other for sure because you'll have the mechanics of riding on two wheels down. Shifting gears is only difficult when you first get started. Understand that it's supposed to be difficult because it's a brand new skill you have to learn. Understanding that will help you to not get frustrated. You'll only shift to second gear in the course, and you'll only do that about 5 or 6 times. No worries at all! You'll do great!

35 as well and took the msf course today with zero experience , best thing I could’ve done. They definitely set you up for success. Good luck

@@uptownkickzz5931 Thank you! I just finished day 2 (day 1 on the range) and I was doing so much better than I expected, then I confidently layed the bike down. Did a no-stop slow approach waiting to go for the next part of the course and then I went forward when the person in front went - but they stalled and I quickly stop'd but it layed the bike down oh so gently. Embarassing, but no scratches or damage to the bike or me thankfully. The group I'm in is really great, 6 people 4 girls and 2 guys including myself, everyone's really upbeat and encouraging. I'm nervous for tomorrow, hoping I don't do something stupid again and it's supposed to rain, so if I pass I can atleast get past the unknown fears of weather and maneuvering around safely.

I ended up passing! Whole group passed, we had our second day/skills test in the rain - but it all worked out!

How did it go I’m setting my appointment up for it September 9th and I’m nervous as hell for it 😂

Thanks brother. Check back in after the course! Let us know how it goes. Good luck and ride safe.

Thanks for checking out the video. Good luck at the course! Let us know how it goes.

Congrats brother!

I got 10 points deducted. The maximum amount of points you can get deducted without failing

@@ErikWeinstein which skills do you need to work on?

@@6GearCutloe I put my foot down on u turn. Stopping distance was to far. Didn't speed up enough on drills.

@@6GearCutloe thanks for responding. Was the surprised how many people have dropped their bike during the test.

You'll have fun and learn a lot. It's a win win! You got it!

Thanks!

Thanks J Long!

Good luck, I’m taking mine next weekend.

@@daltby4363 Good luck to you as well!

Good look to you both! Let us know how it goes.

i’m also taking it this weekend! i have both my tests later today it’s currently 4am 😅

@@alexisaguilera8949 I feel your pain! We got this!

KZfaq University for the win!

Thank you for taking the time out to watch this video. You're already on the right path. Get as much information as you can and be ready to learn. You'll do great!

Hell yea!! Congrats!!

I was the same way. Believe it or not, it'll be people there with less confidence than you. Whatever you do, don't give up! You'll make it!

Thanks for checking out the video. If you've been watching videos and doing research, you're already off to a great start! It's a lot easier to pass when you've got some background information on how the course works. Keep us updated

🤣🤣 I know the feeling.

You're gonna kill it brother! Thanks for checking out the vid man. Glad you liked it. Let us know how it goes!

@@6GearCutloe My guy!!!! I only stalled the bike 9001 times but hey thats what an ole 125cc Z bike and an empty parking lot is for right?! ^.^ Had a frikin blast save for that good ole texas heat, worth every drop of sweat!!! The hype is real! Learned so much day 1 hands on, didnt want to stop practicing!

@@6GearCutloe 400 miles under my belt later...My mood depends on if I got to ride my bike to work or not! HAHAHAHA

Solid!

Solid! Congrats on taking the proper steps, family!

Being nervous is normal. You'll do fine. Get that Triumph on the road, brother! Good luck with finishing the course.

Thanks for checking out the video.

@@6GearCutloe see you out there soon enough 👍

You'll have fun and learn a lot! Best of luck at the course Smoove!

@@6GearCutloe . Hi sir. I passed my msf course today. What an experience for a beginner rider omg. It was worth it all tho. Learned a lot over this weekend about motorcycle.

@@smoove2082 congrats!

Thanks fam

Good to see you going for the MSF certification, brother! How do you like the Ninja so far?

Awesome middle weight bike , I’m 5’-7” 145 pounds . Having lot of fun with it after almost 11 years , back in the game 👊🏻🙌🏻🏍️👍🏻, Be safe 6Gearcutloe .

Thank you for checking the video. You'll be fine. The written test is pretty easy if you're paying attention and ask questions for anything that you may not understand. The slow speed turns are difficult for everyone, even experienced riders. The key is to look where you want to go and believe in your throttle Control in the friction zone. All of this will make sense during the course. Check back in and let us know how it goes. Good luck!

If you're already practicing and doing OK, you'll probably be one of the leaders in the drills. Yep high ankle sneakers are fine for the course.

How was it?!

@@nickgoodwin1105 pretty good I passed it was indeed hard but I had fun honestly really worth it

Congrats man!

Similar experience at the course I took. One lady didn't make it, but they tried everything to motivate her.

True indeed. Thanks brother.

Hell yea! You'll do great! Perfect time to start riding.

Everyone goes through similar learning pains. Keep at it, and you'll get it. Don't be afraid to ask for extra help. Good luck family! Let us know how it goes.

I'm sorry to hear about the fall. I'm glad the pants did their job. I love these pants. The zipper for the vent helps in heat, and they are pretty warm when it's cold.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

Solid! Congrats on your certification!

I have to ask did you have any riding experience at all because I don’t and I feel like I should know at least how to start rolling and stopping the bike

@@yensu8671 only bicycles and a 50cc scooter.

@@yensu8671nah they’ll teach you everything. I’ve never rode before so I’ll have to learn everything too. Was watching a lot of videos but that was months back. Don’t remember much tips. Mainly let go of the clutch slowly so it doesn’t stall

If you feel like you did bad, then you're on the right path. This is new to you, you're not going to come to MSF and pop wheelies 😂. It's like a baby trying to walk... after a while it will become easy. Keep at it! Don't give up! You'll make it, I promise!

@@6GearCutloe thank you for the encouraging words. I did end up passing!!

@Bekah That's awesome! Congrats! Now the task is to continue to practice with your bike, alone, in a parking lot. Do it until you're comfortable. Take your time, be patient, don't get frustrated, and you'll start having fun really soon!

Way to keep a positive mindset moving forward. Everyone stalls the bike, you'll continue to stall it well after you pass the course. Like you said, don't let it get in your head. Check out a few vids on not stalling the bike and you'll get it brother! Good luck family!

They usually have the bike available for you to use. I would use thiers if you can. If you've already been practicing, you'll do great.

Solid!

You'll have an advantage for sure. Most people at the course haven't riding a bicycle in years!

Indeed brother!

Yes, there's a written test at the end of MSF. Easy to pass if you pay attention. I'm pretty sure you can use your own bike, but I wouldn't recommend it. Use theirs in case you drop it.

Yep, you're good. Bring a jacket as well.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

I had zero riding experience as well. They'll teach you how to get the bike moving. All you have to do is show up and LISTEN. You'll do great!

Visit your local cycle gear or motorcycle dealership. They should have gloves and helmet. Good luck on the course family.

@6GearCutloe I found some, thanks brother. I went to hornytoadhd to get some.. that's where I'm taking my class also

Thanks Ailto!

The only thing you should fear is the disappointment of not trying. You'll be fine, just pay attention to the instructors and ASK as many questions as you need. Good luck brother .

If I remember correctly, we spent maybe a total of 2 hours in the classroom. One test is an in class test. The other test is a riding test that you must complete. It usually consists of slow speed maneuvers .

Absolutely no reason to be nervous. Everyone there will be a beginner just like you. As long as you come ready to learn you'll be fine. Let us know how it goes brother.

Awesome! Good luck on your journey. The class is usually about $200 or less in GA.

Good luck fam! Let us know how it goes!

What did you do wrong? What steps did you take to get it right?

I started riding at 34. Zero riding experience. Didn't even know how to drive a manual car. MSF Basic Rider Course will get you started. You'll learn how to get the bike moving and how to turn the bike at slow speeds (harder than it looks). Those skills will set the foundation you need to start learning. After the course, you'll need to practice on a regular basis until you're comfortable enough to hit the public road. Find an empty street or parking lot and practice practice practice! Good luck family!

@@6GearCutloe thanks bro, I'm excited to finally get my journey started.

@@BADforlyfe Yeah no worries I started when I was 38 and I had no idea about motorcycles but MSF get me thru this really easy.

😂

Exactly. Thanks for catching that!

Never give up. Pay attention to the instructors and ask hella questions!

Written and riding. It's Easy if you're locked in and paying attention.

Peace my brother. I started on a 2020 GSX-R 750

@@6GearCutloe I appreciate that I’m taking the Msf course this month in Louisiana and I’ve never ridden a motorcycle before so I’m in a mission to get all the best info I can on how and where to start

Yes indeed. I'll make a video soon! Thanks for the idea.

Go back and pass that thang! Get that certification on the shelf bro.

I went to MSF Training Center in Alpharetta. I believe it was at a Honda location.

😂

GA? I use to live there. I was looking at his surroundings trying to see. Haha...

Not completely sure but I think you can. I would call the local msf office and confirm.

💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Common sense is uncommon nowadays.

Understandable. There are several other FREE youtube videos that can possibly give you what you're looking for. Thanks for taking the time to check out this video. Good luck on your riding journey.

Thanks brother!
