Hey Racer, why's this guy always peeing on your threads?
I say you guys take this to the MSF course and have a good ol' fashion figure 8 battle to show everyone who the real MSF king is.

[gallo]

Seems like a prime time of year for taking the course...is business that bad, specials have to be offered?

:keke: , funny i don't want to be king, i just wanna be able to co-exist along w/ other schools. i wish everybody would take the MSF before getting a bike, and sure i wish you take it "at my location" but more importantly i just want you to take the class, and if there's one more convenient to your local, take it there vs ONLY AT MY SHOP. thats the difference of not-for-profit vs private business.

But aren't all prices set by the state unless you're licensed by the state as opposed to being contracted by the state...understand Riders Edge is the only ones licensed, that's why they can charge more.

But aren't all prices set by the state unless you're licensed by the state as opposed to being contracted by the state...understand Riders Edge is the only ones licensed, that's why they can charge more. not sure how price is set, ask challen he's part owner and know's more of the inner workings. Riders Edge charges more cuz it's an HD program other then that they do the same things and have the same "authority" as the MSF programs. RE is based on the MSF program.

not sure what you mean licensed? i give out state cert. upon passing the class, and i'm not RE cert........ :)

some states MSF class it's free, others even more then here. alot has to do w/ state funding.

where do you teach at?

fixed it for ya, RX


Being 'contracted' with the state, the rates (other than specials) are set by TX DPS. Riders Edge is a program 'licensed' with the TX DPS teaching the same curriculum but must furnish their own materials and bikes (buell blast)...not a very good training bike for beginning riders in my opinion, so they can and do set their own rates, usually close to double. They do however take you to the showroom floor, the service techs, and the motorclothes dept. (Nice for teaching the protective gear segment, tho)

like said ask challen about "base rate" if there is such a a thing. if it's an MSF cert. program it's state licensed.

$155.... Now that's what I'm talking about. I'll see you hopefully this weekend or the next for sure.
(Lord knows I need it)

I have to say that the MSF was probly the smartest thing that anyone can do. I looked around the area that I live and didn't find anything that impressed me so I went to the net and asked some friends and searched the net for some courses in Houston, Austin and San Antonio. Out of all the reviews I read and people I talked with Houston was the way to go so I did some more digging and narowed it down and finaly desided on the MSF course offered by Awesome Cycles, based on what I heard and read. Now I can't say that it is better than any one else that offeres it but It made me feel alot better about taking the course there when I found out that one person in the class those two days flew in from Bosnia just to take the course at that school. The instructors were were outsdanting the range was great, the whole experence has to be the best in Texas. When i got back to Corpus Christi I went straight to the place that I bought my bike and told then to send every one there that wants to take a MSF course. I wouldn't go anywere else and I wouldn't send anyone anywere else but like I said I can't speak for the other courses out there but my personal opinion and from the people that I taked to and read the comments of it is the best hands down, and as soon as I am ready I will take the advanced course there too.

[linjy2]

i dont see how class differs? they all have the same track design. only difference may be the bikes offered. i didnt take from neither and my experience was great at boss hoss cycles. got my 15% cycle gear coupon like all the other places give out too. instructors were nice, class was great.

Damn straight! That figure 8 was tech! :eek3:

[Maverick]

S curves ftw !

[ImG]

thats cool, but i rather save my money and buy better gear then fly in from bosnia. oh well i guess that challen dude just brainwashed him, and its kinda suspicious that was your first post... seems like a advertisment to me. don't mind me i am just thinking outloud.

[mike do]

DAMMIT!! Any deals in May? I'm not going to be able to take this course until the summer.

[PORSCHITO]

any advanced msf in april?!!?!?!

[PORSCHITO]

i need to do it really soon to dismiss a ticket!!!!

[Challen]

any advanced msf in april?!!?!?!

Got one on May 27.

If that won't work, best advice is to just start going down the list of schools and calling. When you call, ask them their policy on cancelling classes AND how many are already registered for that ERC. Lots of schools refuse to run it with fewer than X number of students. That's understandable and not a big deal, but that's where people with tickets run into a problem.

[PORSCHITO]

thx for the info!!!!

[bluegixxinbv]

Damn straight! That figure 8 was tech! :eek3:

straddle walking was the best part :icon_thum

[RACER X]

straddle walking was the best part :icon_thumwhen i took it 6/7? yrs ago, we had to push each other back and forth across the range........:eek3:

[Jacabbysal]

Of course the "class" is the same and so is the course. That is ensured to be the same by law, but you can not honestly think that the instructors are the same like I said I can't speak for the other courses. What makes the class though is the instructors and you can't say that all instructors are the same or teach on the same "level" as the students. Take for example places that say if you drop the bike one time or two times you have to leave (excluding the test), and you can't say "if the course is taught right that won't happen" because if that was the case then no one ever should drop their bike that is careful but things happen. What matters is yes schools are different, it is the people that make it different.

[Jacabbysal]

Img I understand you being suspicious. If you want I can provide prof of who I am. Also, wouldn't you say the school you went to is great or atleast good (HS or college)? and if somone is able to fly in like that I would think that saving money on a course to buy gear is probly low on his list of concerns.

[fuknrobert]

since I never really passed the class i'm gonna take it all over again, and i'm taking my lady friend so she'll have a friend there. can i get a 2 for 1 discount... or say... a reference discount lol

it won't be until around october tho, haha

[RACER X]

engrish? just curious where you taught, thats all.

[jrock]

hahahaha.....hahahahaha...."engrish? just curious where you taught, thats all."

[Jacabbysal]

Ehhh typos, we all make them :tard:

[ImG]

haah no offense, no i don't need to know who you are. it does nothing to me to know. but i did find it awkward, if you haven't looked at the thread title for someone to post a experience of another school in someones thread. not to mention you still have only 4 post and it adheres to this thread only. glad you have had a good exp. with the one you went too, as i have had a good one too at San Jac. Central MSF program. But in the end i woulnd't "advertise" san jac. but would just recommend to take the MSF anywhere, as it help build my foundation. again welcome to motohouston, where drama is waiting to happen =p .

[hektic]

RACER X i called the number you gave me and i didnt know you had to pay and register b4 the class... i dont get paid untill friday and was wanting to pay then. but oh well gatta wait

[RACER X]

you can pay up until noonish fri, for class that weekend.

[Jacabbysal]

It's all cool and your right it dose seem odd for somone to only have four post and all of them in one thread. To be honest I wasn't trying to put out an add for anyone, in fact I don't blame you for saying what you said I would of probly said the same thing. Either way I will try to post in other threads.

[nels]

anything goin on in May? My boss was thinking about takin his wife to Republic HD, but I know it's cheaper elsewhere.

pricing is still $155 for the mos. of MAY, send them on over........save $140 (HD program is $295?).
