Take the MSF course and learn everything they can teach you. Practice those skills on your own afterwords and master them.

Your movements on a bike need to be instant and reactive to the situation. If you are thinking about it you need more practice and time in the saddle.

After a year or two on mastering the basic and necessary skills taught at the MSF course you need to take a track day that provides training.

Riding a sport bike is much different than other bikes because the technology and abilities of the bike are different. At a track day you will learn skills that you can’t safely learn in a parking lot or on the street.

I have been riding since I could just about walk. I am the founder of one of the largest, if not larges, Sport bike club in Texas, I raced and taught riders how to ride on a track. I don’t know everything but here is what I know.

1) Stay within your limits. Many think adrenalin = fast. That is not true adrenalin = beyond safe limits. If you are scared you are out of control. My fastest lap times are comfortable, fun and smooth.

2) Keep you ego in check. A sport bike is like driving an Indy car for drivers training. It Is serious power. Think with your brain not your balls. There is a time and place for everything. Wheelies, 170mph etc. These are not best done on the freeway in traffic.

3) Most people are full of themselves and full of crap. I could be one of them, you don’t know. Find someone at the track that really knows what they are talking about. Not someone who talks like they know but someone who has demonstrated there skills over many years at the track. Always bounce info you hear off that source then make a decision.

4) Ride like you are invisible. It is not the cars responsibility to look for you so expect them to cut you off.

5) The 10 % law is always in effect. The 10% law is if they are 10% bigger than you they have the right of way.

6) Always buy gear from Cycle Mart USA because winners buy from us ...plug!! ;-)

Have fun!!

Contact ANY motorcycle dealer in NC and they can hook you up with an MSF course, which is an absolutely super idea for you to take. They teach you defensive riding skills that will save your life.
If you believe nothing else you read here, believe that MSF is one of the best courses ever. That is why insurance companies offer a break on insurance if you have that under your belt.

Washington State Prison at Walla Walla is famous for its motor bike track around inside of the walls. Felons learned everything about operation and repair as part of the penal industrial trade correctional programs. Feel free to inquire what your regional prison offers in industrial opportunities before doing any
state felony that puts reader inside for terms longer than one year.
