    Finished the BRC this weekend and passed! It was a great experience. The coaches were all friendly and made the learning process more enjoyable. I aced the written and did very well on the riding exam. I was docked a few points for going a little slow in the final turn, but I figured it was better then going too fast and drifting over the line. Overall it was a really good experience and highly recommend to all who are starting out. Now it’s time to practice, practice, practice!

    Congrats! I also was docked for going a little slow while cornering. I also got docked for going over the line on that u-turn box but I still passed. Have fun!

    Congrats!

    I just finished mine this weekend as well. I got three points for putting my foot down in the U-turn box. I was 4th or 5th in line for the curve test and they told everyone before me that they were going too slow. So when I did it I went pretty fast, I ended up scraping the peg for just a second near the end of the curve. I was afraid I would get points for doing that but they didn’t say anything. We were using the Suzuki GZ250’s and they don’t lean very far before the pegs hit.

    The course was a great experience and the instructors made it a lot of fun. I’d recommend it to anyone.

    Is that your gs500f your sitting on?
    Also is it a 2006 or 2004?

    It’s an 05 that I bought a few weeks ago. It’s a great bike with plenty of power to get me to where I want to go.
    I’ve already put on about 300 miles since I got it.
