Hello Everyone; First Post and first time owner of a FZ6R. I just bought my bike a week ago and have never ridden before other then as a passenger on my BF's Yamaha. I am scheduled to take the MSC end of April and looking forward to it. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared - however my BF has been riding for over 30 years and is one of the safest riders I have ever seen. He has been extremely patient and supportive with learning and pushing me to take the course. We are going to go to a local parking lot before the course to give me a 101 on some basic things which I believe will help with the nerves as well !!
There is no need to be nervous. If the course is anything like the one in USA, it goes at a very slow pace and assumes you know nothing about riding a motorcycle.. you just need to be able to ride a bicycle.
I would actually recommend not doing the parking lot thing before your course. Your BF may be a great and safe rider, but unless he is a trained instructor, he may not present the information in the way which will be most beneficial to you. You may also get some contradicting advice.
It's much like being anxious before the test.. most people tend to be more nervous few minutes before the test than during actual test. Try to think about something / anything else for now.
