My daughter is scheduled to take the MSF course this weekend. She took and passed it five years ago, but never passed the written test to get her license. Didn't matter since I didn't have a bike and neither did she.
Her cousin talked her into signing up for the course again after they both graduated from college.
She has ridden four wheelers since the first class and drives a stick shift car, so I figured she'd be okay, but she wanted to take the GR to a school parking lot and refresh her skills.
She learned to ride on a beat up XS650 years ago, so I figured the GR would work well. It's about 60lbs lighter and it is so easy to pull away from a stop with this bike that it is almost laughable.
It was a lot of fun watching her get reacquainted with riding a bike. It took her a few seconds to remember to look where she wanted to go, but it was peaches after that.
I could see the smile even with her helmet in place. May have a riding partner if she can ever afford a bike.
