WATCH this video BEFORE you take your MSF course! (Motorcycle Safety Foundation Class) GUIDE TO PASS

MSF Class walkthrough, know what to expect when taking your MSF course. This video can be used as a guide to help you pass your course and earn your motorcycle license. Follow me as I take the class to earn a perfect score and receive my motorcycle license. Familiarize yourself with a motorcycle and its controls. You can practice these exercises before you take your course to better your chances at passing. The things you will need for the course/class are long jeans with no holes/tears, full fingered gloves, safety glasses, long sleeved shirt, and a DOT approved motorcycle helmet. If you don't have a helmet one may be provided for you, depending on where you take your class. The motorcycles were provided by Harley Davidson Riding Academy. GOOD LUCK!!!

Ive been riding for 5 years and for some reason i enjoy watching videos like this as well as peoples motorcycle journeys

[MasonWeldz]

got mine last week on Saturday with 0 knowledge just dont over think it. its worth it

[LeGeminiMind]

My favorite part of this video is the fact that you already know how to ride and didn’t go and show out in front of the others. Or act like a know it all. 💯

Excited to take my classes soon.

These are great classes. I highly recommend them. It's a very convenient way to get your motorcycle license.👍🏽

My first car was a motorcycle.
Once you get your motorcycle license, never let it lapse, I’ve had mine for nearly 3 decades.

For anyone watching this. I just took the course last weekend. It’s not hard and it really builds your basics as a rider. I’d never been on a bike before and had not a single issue with the class. The only thing you would have to do on your own time is practice throttle control and shifting especially if you’ve never driven a manual before

Kind of crazy but I've been riding since 1970, Sturgis three times and Daytona twice. Still riding after 11 bikes and a whole bunch of miles. And never have yet got a mc endorsement, even stopped a few times with only warnings. But now at 69 been thinking taking the course just to have the endorsement, your never to old to learn something new. I have always light foot brake & preloaded throttle when on dead stop turns, slow turns or U-turns & turn your head where you want the bike to go. When you rode dirt bikes and choppers and drove semi tractor/trailers in your early life you learn what keeps you up, along with common sense speed and following distance.

Had him as an instructor as well, he made sure we knew what we were doing, enjoyed taking his lessons. Also he has some crazy skill, casually riding the bikes to pick up the small cones off the ground while leaning over or even just when he’s demonstrating the lessons. He was a pretty cool guy.

This brought me back a little ptsd from doing the course, but was one of the best decisions I made. 16 years later I still use what I learned in these drills.

LITERALLY just took this course in ohio. Had a dude bragging about riding years and "forgetting hes so experienced".... he got hollered at more than anyone and almost failed the course.

The 500cc v-twins Harley provides are a great bike to learn on. 1st and 2nd gear are speed-throttled and they are low enough to flat foot. It's good to get experience with a 'heavier' bike at low speeds and duck walking. This is more real world than a 150-300cc bike.

Half of our class already owned bikes, a few seemed like veteran riders and we had maybe 4-5 GREEN riders. Maybe a quarter of the class didn't pass =o Mainly, going outside the slow speed turn and hitting cones or going outside the cone course. The staggered cones were tough - even if you can do them 4 out of 5 times, at the end, you only have the ONE shot. If you did them 50/50 during class, then the pressure was high.

Honestly, I think if you didn't pass this class, you would still have a very good chance at passing the DMV course (if you are old enough to skip MSF entirely). EITHER way, pass or not - it's a great thing to do - especially with HD, these bikes, and the way the class/course is set up. You were in a different city, and things looked very similar to ours. Except our course was built from scratch on property they purchased, and we had a real toilet. woot

High speed breaking - be sure to get enough speed in second and downshift during the stop to end up in 1st. You'll have to do it again if you didn't go fast enough. I don't know if there's points lost for doing it multiple times but def get into 1st gear, they want you to pull away after stopping.

One of the BIGGEST things they focus on, and you'll see this in many videos, is - Keep your head and eyes UP and TURN THAT HEAD when you turn the bike. They want your helmet INTO your shoulder if possible - and use your peripheral vision. If you LOOK and turn your head like a professional, it will help your riding immensely. The bike goes where your EYES go. They HAMMER it constantly - so do it. They will wave constantly - HELLOOOO!! - UP HERE - WHY did you hit that cone you were LOOKING at?? - HELLOO! pretty funny actually, but get those eyes UP.

Thanks for the vid - good to 're-experience' the class - I only got 1 picture with the bikes lined up and can send people with questions to your video. Your hard-ass instructors got down to business!

Thanks man got class this weekend and didn’t know what to expect..

[lakenkennedy]

That $100 falling out of his pocket was nuts

[acbtlondon]

Cool, thanks for posting. I'm a motorcycle instructor in London, UK, and its always nice to see how the process works in other countries 😀

[rangerwolfhound]

I've ridden for years... a 6'.8" long sure I could make those turns. I also never took the test. I just sold my bike. buying a sport time to take the test. This was a great

[andyc]

Thanks for sharing. I go to my classes this weekend, and I’ve never really rode.

[mattjensen]
