Message-ID: <463@bentley.UUCP> Date: Tue, 21-Aug-84 16:10:25 EDT Article-I.D.: bentley.463 Posted: Tue Aug 21 16:10:25 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 22-Aug-84 02:00:15 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Piscataway Lines: 31 I understand that the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) has courses in Motorcycle riding and safety. I am particularly interested in such a course in New Jersey. I contacted a motorcycle research firm in VA, they gave me an 800 number to call and get information. They told me that MSF was in the process of moving from Wash. DC to California (I have also heard rumors that it has moved to PA). They gave me the number of a commercial driving school on Long Island. I contacted the school; they do have a course in both beginning and advanced safety riding procedures. Each course is 20 hours (8 hours instruction, 12 hours riding) spread out over 2 weekends. They supply bikes. They tell me that the course is approved by the MSF. The max. number of students is 12. The cost is $225. Does this seem reasonable? I thought that the MSF gave courses like this themselves? --at a much lower cost (not to mention the fact that Long Island is at least 1 1/2 hour drive for me). Does anyone know how to get in touch with the MSF? Heard of other courses in riding & safety? Has anyone taken such a course; did you find it useful? Thanks. ------------------ Scott J.
