I am happy to report that I passed the MSF course this past weekend (I had such a good time!) and am waiting to receive my waiver and take the DMV test to get my endorsement. However, as I don’t have the money for a bike at the moment, I am concerned that I will lose the skills I learned during the course before I can actually get on a bike again. Any suggestions for how I can practice and keep my skills up while I save up for a motorcycle? Are there places that rent bikes?

Congrats on passing the MSF. Not sure where you’re at, but in the Bay Area, there are places to rent bikes, but they don’t have the same class of bikes that the MSF uses. AFAIK, they rent bikes for experienced riders.

You could take the class again or you could do the same exercises in a parking lot once you had a bike or on a mates bike. Don’t buy a new bike for self practice though get a used 250 Ninja or cruiser to practice on and it will be more forgiving on your skills, wallet and ego. I can’t imagine having a brand new bike and the stress with not wanting to scratch or drop it.
