Though I have responded to Scott via mail about the value of
MSF courses, I wanted to make a public recommendation for them
here.

Early this year when I was poking my head into this newsgroup
and asking a lot of questions as a beginner would, I got lots
of recommendations to take the MSF Beginning Biker course.  I
was very impressed by the enthusiasm expressed here for the course
so I checked it out.

All I can say is that they were right, and I would make the same
enthusiastic recommendation.  Motorcycle riding is more than
just hopping on the saddle and riding off.

It cost me $70 (as of March 84; they warned me it was going up
so I don't know what it is now).  I was also required to by
a helmet (full face or 3/4) and riding boots (something to
cover the ankles).

As someone here said, the course is priceless, but I do think
$225 is a bit high.
