Over the past two days, I have participated in the California Motorcyclist Safety Program offered by the Harley Davidson dealer in Sacramento and I can heartily recommend it. Over the past two and a half years I have been slowly resurrecting a 1980 GL1100 that was given to me. But I haven't had a motorcycle license since high school (that was a long time ago for those counting). Now that the bike is nearly finished it is time legalize the driver. Rather than trying to pass the DMV skill test, I opted for the course and I'm so glad I did. I didn't realize how much I had forgotten (or more likely never knew in the first place). With what I have now learned, perhaps I can stay alive long enough to improve my riding ability (and it still needs some work!). I passed the written test with no problems but the skills test was another story. The instructors said I had amassed the maximum number of points against me without failing. They strongly encouraged me to keep practicing. :yes: Great course. I needed it more than I knew.
