    Good luck, and it is fun.

    Kt i know they have an advance riders course where i live, it's offered by the same people that do the basic riders course. bike shops in your area should be able to give you info about riders courses.

    I had my kid take one of those courses last year and he asked if I had to take one when i got my lisence. I said no so he said I should take the class too. Made me think. So while he was in the new rider class I took the experianced class. VERY glad I did. Your never too good to learn something.
    The courses are pretty standard around the country. I'm sure where you live in the oldestcity in the coutry, they offer them too. Heres a site

    I took the MSF Basic Rider course last fall myself and really do think it was worth the time and money.

    Definitely something I'd recommend to anyone who hasn't already been through it.

    I have taken all three rider courses offered by MSF. I can tell you they are a great set of classes!

    My brother-in-law has been an MSF instructor for 20+ years, and everytime he wants get together to do a refresher, or show us new things, I jump at the chance! You can NEVER know too much!

    His motto is: Are you the best rider you can be? Would you like to be?

    Just my 2 cents.
