Expert rider's course - What can I expect?

I took the beginner's MSF course last fall and got a lot from it. I have just over 1K miles under my belt now and I plan on taking the expert rider's course this spring. What can I expect?

Please try to stay on topic:redface:

Thank you,

First, it's the EXPERIENCED rider's course not an EXPERT riders course.

You can expect to do the same exact things you did in the BRC only you'll do them on your own bike rather than a little trainer.

 

Better maybe to apply what you learned and get a few more miles under your belt first. If memory serves, one is not able to just sign the dotted line to attend the experienced riders classes.

You might want to look into one of the track day courses as an alternative. These too are selective.

 

Second MSF

I took it a couple of years ago on a hot, hot, day in Tennessee. It was your own cycle and we did a lot of the tight maneuvers that Shriners or HP cops do when on parade. A lot of practice cornering, and smooth control transitions, with someone there to give you feedback. MSF instructors are friendly and cool. My entire class of 10 guys were 50-60 year olds new Goldwing riders. I was 39 and on a '77 naked Goldwing so it was kinda funny.

time on the job

I have 4100 on my gen 6 and I dont know why for sure but I have had a harder time coming to grips with this bike than others. I was quite unsure of what I could get away with for the first 2500 miles and that is not normal for me . At this time I am just now getting comfortable with clutching wheelies and shifting on one wheel. I have ridden interceptors for 24 years and would think another 20k under your belt will be the most helpful after you take traning course.:thumbsup:

 

Thanks for weighing in everyone!

I am a MSF RiderCoach. As long as you are comfortable on your ride, you should be able to pass the ERC. I would recommend a full year of riding (about 3K miles) on the bike you intend to take the ERC with before you take the course.

The ERC is very similar to the BRC. The main difference is you're on your own machine. That's a much bigger challenge than most people give consideration to. When you do the BRC on a 250 you don't own, it's simply natural to not care about the bike. When you need to do some of the same things on your own bike, that raises the stakes slightly.

The MSF is a great organization & I am proud to say that I am a RiderCoach. Ride safe.
