As someone who can feel your pain, I remember how frustrating the MSF course was. I took that course with zero experience on a motorcycle, never driven stick and just didn't understand how clutch worked. So I'm sure you could imagine my frustration every time I stalled the bike leaving first and had no idea why. Ok I'm going to rant a little here but maybe some of you can relate. I took the MSF course through a school,the class was very small which was great! However, I found the instructors were trying to rush through the course. As if they almost forgot what it was like to ride a motorcycle for the very first time, for example; I was getting a feel for the clutch and just as I was rocking back and forth on the bike, the instructors were on to the next part of the course. Out of the 10 students, 7/10 had already ridden a motorcycle, the 3 remaining (including myself) were brand new. As the class progressed, us 3 were still not comfortable. The 2 others I was with ended up low siding their bikes simply because the instructors throwing too much information too soon. Now the part I hated most about this, the instructors didn't even try to encourage the 2 or tell them to get back on the bike. Now I know what you're thinking, they may have been a danger to the class but no that wasn't the case. They were learning like any other new rider and most new riders drop their bike. They instead told and I quote "So motorcycling isn't for you..", at that point I had to grit my teeth and continue on with the course. Thankfully the other students were encouraging me the whole way or I would have probably hopped off the bike and left too. I ended up passing the test with and now own my second motorcycle. But the 2 others that left the course most likely will never hop on a motorcycle again due to that weekend.
