I'm not one to right reviews but as a business owner I can't help writing this one. Also it may be long winded but I got something this weekend I have been waiting for since I purchased my bike two years ago. Wish I would have done it sooner.
Just finished my M2 training course on Sept 6-8 in St Thomas. Great instructors and learned a lot. Really enjoyed the slow maneuvers as it really put your skills (or lack of lol) to the test. By the end of the weekend I was more confident in slow motion maneuvers and realized how hard they are to make and your not going to learn them easily. I think everyone who rides a motorbike should learn these and practice them from time to time in a vacant parking lot. I've been in busy parking areas before and developing this skill will really be a benefit to all riders. Anyone can go fast but slow is a different story.
Over the last year I had also developed a few bad habits like holding the front brake with two fingers. By the end of the weekend I was able to be more aware of the habit and practice breaking it. I think I did quite well by the end of the weekend.
Another great part of the course is you don't just ride one bike. I was able to try at least 12 of the 15 or so bikes offered. Everyone handled differently and I finally picked a cruiser for my final test.
What I struggled with most of the weekend was tight left hand turns. What I loved about the course is you had so much time to practice. This is not a course where you do just a few things and call it a day, bring lots of water and get sleep as your on the motorcycle a lot. We were in classroom from 6-9 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday we were on our bikes from 8-4 except for our breaks and lunch.
The group I was with were amazing and there were no showoffs except for this one guy who hit a few pylons ( by the way that was me and it was quite embarrassing). But it taught me one thing, your never to old to learn and I thought I was a better rider then what I was. The instructors take their jobs seriously and for good reason. I have witnessed quite a few bike accidents over the years and I found this to be the best part of the course. If your a showoff or cocky you will be told.
Now comes the test I was so afraid of. I guess I can't tell you but Pay attention as they are not allowed to instruct you past a certain part. They will teach you the skills but during the evaluation or test they cannot teach anymore. I found this to be very important and you do need to listen to what they have taught and practice what you think you need to learn.
All and all I went away with more confidence and more skills and the teachings to work on these skills. If you listen you will be ok.
I just want to thank all the instructors for an awesome weekend.
Sorry it was so long winded.
