Dirk,
I see this post is getting over a year old now. If you are still doing rides with new riders I would love to join in sometime. I thing this is a great idea. I learned tons in the MSF class but would love to learn some more about street riding. If you get this shoot me a message.
Thanks again.
If I get a bike this year I'll host a couple.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Maybe we should start a signup thread, shoot for May, when the roads will be semi-clean

Next year when my insurance discount runs out I plan to take the intermediate course as I have heard good things about it as well

I know this thread is quite old now but I was wondering if the op still did this for newbies??
I'm sure there are some people still on here who are willing to help out. I know some have moved out of state, no longer on this site, sold their bike, etc., but I'm sure there are some still lurking on here. I think there is a member who will meet you at IMI for some track and riding instruction.
Have you taken the Basic Rider Course from MSF? Advanced Rider Course? What type of instruction are you looking for and what is your skill level?

If either Jeff or someone else would be down with me to do some basic teaching I'd be down one of these weekends.

@sully I have taken the basic rider course, it went by pretty fast for someone with no experience. I am quite the novice so right now I'm still trying to practice the basics around my neighborhood and learn proper and safe technique before I actually go out into traffic. I posted a thread about downshifting because that's really giving me hell right now.
Understandable. The class does go by quickly if you have no experience. I would suggest to continue what you are doing, practice, practice and more practice. Go to a empty parking lot, like a high school or something and practice what you learned in class. Matching gears to speed, stopping, swerving, shifting, etc. I'm happy to help out if you'd like.

I just moved, so I've been a bit busy with that and stuff at work, but I am always willing to help new riders. I live pretty close to IMI now, and at certain times that can be a great way to learn things without the distractions and dangers of the street.

IMI is a pretty cool short and technical course, it improved my body position a ton last season when I went to test the race bike out there after fixing her. Cheap fun for sure and no worries about traffic or anything else while practicing. Good idea Dirk

I'm up for a second instructional rider (note, I did not say instructor), since Dirk's original offer included that, if needed. I too am very busy, but there is always time to help somebody.
Respect and truth trump all!
I don't get lost. I explore.
