Here is the situation I am scheduled to take the MSF course here soon and I have a friend who signed up with me but is now having second thoughts. The reason being because the only experience he has had is on a dirt bike like twice. I have told him that there are going to be people with various amounts of experience in the class. He said he would rather wait and get his permit first but I told him it is better for him to take this seeing as it is in an contained enviroment and the teach you some good things. So I guess my question is for those of you that have taken the course, are there people usually in the class with limited riding experience?? Just so I can reassure him.
