Took the MSRC.

I just got home from completing the MSF Sportbike Riders Course. For those who have taken the Experienced Course, it seems more like a scooter course in comparison. They really stress severe lean angles in all the exercises. I went from having a brand spanking new Pilot Road 2 in the rear yesterday to 1/8" left on my chicken strips today, and that's WITH proper body position.


Anyways, I highly recommend the course. Especially if you're military since it's FREE!





Here's the before and after pics of my tire...

Re: Took the MSRC.

Very nice! I took the MSF ERC this past May, and I'm looking to take the Sportbike Course but can't seem to find any offered in my area.

Re: Took the MSRC.

What all drills did you guys do? I need to take that course so I can get my base sticker. Emergency stops? Decent amount of low speed maneuvering or mainly high speed stuff?

Re: Took the MSRC.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the MSRC. I'm looking at taking some more advanced riding courses/school this fall and I'll keep an eye out for this as well.
