I have not had any experence on motorcycle but would like to learn I have a riders permit, but I did not want to pay $200.00 for a 2 day course and if you fail I guess you have to pay again, That is crasy

I disagree with babe that if you fail you are not meant to ride, I think that a first time rider should head to an empty parking lot or somewhere that there is plenty of space to maneuver . Do not drive the bike, either transport it somehow or a friend that knows how to ride and you trust them with your bike(there is only 1 person I would trust with my bike, that is because he has been riding for about 30 years and still rides.) Once there set up a course using plastic bottles filled with sand or anything handy. There should be several course setups in the drivers manual for motorcycles. This way you can brush up on your skills so you will be more comfortable when you do take the safety course. One other thing, some insurance company's offer a reduced rate on insurance if you have successfully completed the course. This should give you an indication of whether or not you wish to continue in your riding experience. Hope you succeed, there is no better feeling than the open road.

Pay the money it is worth the money. If you fail take that as a sign you are not meant to ride. Motorcycling is dangerous. I've been riding for 11 years my husband for near 40 (including his childhood dirtbike days). $200 is cheap I paid 400 11 years ago. If you can't afford it you can't afford to ride. I repeat...if you fail it is a sign, you are not meant to ride, not to mention you have no business on a bike.

If you're talking about the Motorcycle Safety Foundation class, and you're a new rider,
I'm surprised at he cost, but it is well worth the $200.
It could keep you in one piece.
if you're talking about something else, and the training is voluntary, check out google for MSF classes in your area.
