    FOR ALL NON READERS…LIKE BUDD

    THESE ARE THE DETAILS OF WHY I MAY NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE BEST EXPERIENCE AT MSF. THIS IS A RESPONSE BY ME TO AN ANONYMOUS POSTER WHO SAW DIRECTLY WHAT I WAS GETTING AT….BY READING ALL THE POSTS IN THE THREAD…THEN RESPONDING.

    Finally! Someone who hit my point with the ol’ hammer!

    Dead on Mr Anonymous. Not in the initial post, but in another post I said that instructors were telling me”good job” when I know I wasn’t following their specific directions properly. This occurred more than once. No one was dropping bikes or anything like that, but my instructors seemed preoccupied at times; bored out of their minds.

    I enjoyed myself. But as I’ve stated,. I feel as though I wasn’t challenged due to various circumstances such as, a hot interpreter for the 3 hearing impaired fellas in my class(very cool guys by the way) which prove to be a distraction for at least 1 of the instructors, and both being over-whelmed having to give special attention to the hearing impaired. Our class ran 1 hour longer than the other sessions because of the instructors having to accommodate the disabled students. Not a problem in the sense that they should do everything they can to accommodate the disabled. However, they should make sure that every student, no exceptions, should get their moneys worth.

    If you went to MSF class under these circumstances and still would feel you’d got your money’s worth. Good for you! THANKS TO EVERYONE(HOW FEW AND FAR IN BETWEEN THEY WERE)WHO TOOK TIME TO READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION BEFORE RESPONDING.

    WHEN I SAID “FLAMERS FLAME ON”, IT WAS NOT TO INVITE ATTACKS. ranette KNEW WHAT I MEANT…..

    Man I thought my posts got people upset. Duck!!!!!!!!
    Can’t comment myself as I won’t be taking the course until November. JUST BY HIS FIRST COMMENT HE POSTED ON THE PAGE. HE KNEW THAT THIS TOPIC WOULD EVOKE PASSION AND DISAGREEMENT.

    MEGASPAZ MADE A GREAT POINT WHEN HE SUGGESTS THE INITIAL POST DOESN’T REVEAL DETAILS AS TO WHY THE COURSE WAS SO UN-FULFILLING FOR ME. HOWEVER, THAT DOESN’T GIVE INDIVIDUALS THE NOD TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WHO I AM.

    MOREOVER, THOSE WHO TOOK TIME TO READ ALL OF THE POSTS IN THE THREAD DISCOVERED AND RESPONDED(accordingly) TO THE REAL ISSUES I HAD WITH MY MSF EXPERIENCE. LET ME REPEAT…. MY MSF EXPERIENCE. MOST AGREED THAT THEY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL. ESPECIALLY, SINCE THE COURSE IS NOT FREE.

    I AM IN NO WAY ASHAMED OF HOW I DEFENDED MYSELF AGAINST PERSONAL ATTACKS. FOR THOSE WHO DON’T LIKE IT….WATCH WHAT YOU POST…OR DON’T B@TCH ABOUT WHAT I POST.

    I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND AN OLIVE BRANCH TO RAB…AS HE DID NOT DESERVE ALL OF MY VERBAL ATTACK…JUST SOME : – ) <<<<<<<<<<<< (THIS MEANS i'M KIDDING) LOL if you still can.

    Man. I really love those bikes. The Shadow Aero is the business. It was absolutely going to be my next choice ………until I saw this………

    Yep, the V Star 950. Definite competition for Kawaski’s 900. Look out!

    After all, they’re the ones who give out the ol P, or the dreaded F. At this point I am just ready to get my license; do more research on safety which led me to this forum in the 1st place, and continue practicing good tips I’ve learned along the way. I still remain a student even as a driver because new situations and driving conditions cause you to learn new things no matter how long you’ve been driving. The best lesson I’ve learned from class is that nothing is absolute. You have to flow and move with nature, little grasshopper. Survival depends on how quick and effective you react to danger and hazards. I get it! : — )

    …..dick the second time! And what was so arrogant about any of my post preceding YOUR attacks? The real question is why do you want to get me started again? 1st you apologize for your weak attempt to insult me for what you thought was “flippant and rude”.

    Then in the midst of the apology you still attempt to insult me. Spaz and I are cool (prior and post this thread) and I’m sure he can handle himself. Spaz and I go at each other(in friendly sarcasm) all the time. He took it exactly the way I dished it(not as disrespect or arrogance), as a joke!!!!!! You sure you’re not the one with the vagina? Ur awfully sensitive when you take offense to something, and the person who it was directed to does not.

    Now I guess you expect me to be respectful to you now, after all of what you said.

    You need to mind your business when you think you are pouring water on the fire, and there’s gasoline in your hands. You may get yourself burned! Here ends the lesson.

    This is a sport bike that may rouse my appetite for something of the sport bike kind.

    ??????? Another misrepresentation. Another attack that I am suppose to be civil about. As long as this is America, I may defend myself with vulgarity as I please! And perhaps, you may not want to know where I think you should go.

    Ok, ok, maybe I was a little too trigger happy expecting that every comment was, however big or small, direct or indirect, an attack on my opinion of the BRC. Most were nott, however, some in my opinion were neither helpful to me or others.

    Examples:”….wow you’re such a tool….”, “…the class is not made for tools….”, “…Looks like you’re bitchin’ more about the cost of the course than anything else.If you haven’t completed the last session, then aren’t you a bit premature in dissing the whole course? Maybe you’re just a know it all :-) Sorry your experience of *your* MSF course wasn’t what you would’ve wished, but be aware that you’re probably in the minority, as you’re the only person I’ve ever heard saying that they didn’t think it was any good…..”, and “….I think rab has a point, quit the course and ask for a refund if it sucked that much. you were also kind of a butthead to megaspaz…”

    How does any of those posts help any one? And please explain to spiccnspam, then explain to me how I was a “butthead” to you? Spaz, you know we agree to disagree with each other, and we both are sarcastic as hell. All in fun. Agree?

    Maybe I didn’t post all the DETAILS in the title thread about my dissatisfaction this weekend. Maybe everyone doesn’t read every post in the thread, then respond to it like I do. And, maybe I’m such a noob that I didn’t know that : – ) meant I’m kidding(even though it still doesn’t seem like Rab was to me…not 1% even).

    I think in all fairness to me, people may have mistaken my initial post as discouraging new riders from taking the course(not the intention). You are one of the members whose opinion I value such as Elwood, Budd, Munch, Amoryl, and of course Ben the Admin. When I first registered as a member, I was looking to purchase a bike. Most of you guys posts shaped my choice in terms of size(that is why I don’t have a Vulcan 900 right now LOL).
