I did my M1 Exit course with RTI this past weekend and I have nothing but good things to say about the instructors, the lesson plan, and the school.
Highly Recommended!
If anyone has any questions about my experience, I'd be happy to share.
I'm attending a course this weekend, which also calls for rain.
Did people in your course have proper motorcycle rain gear? Personally, I would never venture out if there was even a chance of rain, so investing in rain gear may be an expense dedicated solely to the course.
I think students that take the course when it rains get the best out of the weekend. They learn and practice emergency maneuvers on wet pavement and really understand the limits and abilities of a motorcycle. And since they're not afraid of riding in the rain anymore, they get a lot more riding done during the already short Toronto motorcycle season.
tldr: Ride in the rain. You're not made of soap.
There are a lot of options for gear. I have some that fits in the back of my ss for those just in case moments. Riding in the rain isn't as bad as you think. It poured when I took my course and I had to ride 30 mins to and from it. It happens sometimes.
