Took the MSF because I thought it was important to know HOW to ride a motorcycle. Felt it was one of those skills that every car driver should have and be aware of, even if they didn't plan on owning a bike.
I failed to realize at the time of signing up that after the course I'd want to CONTINUE TO RIDE.
The 3 months after the course were filled with extensive, and at times, frustrating, research and sitting on various makes/models before I chose my Duc. Now here I am. (I believe it has made me a better car driver, too)
