Here's a follow-up video for AFTER you pass your MSF Course: ua-cam.com/video/wHkatD-Fl4w/v-deo.htmlsi=Pi5wGWRtSq86Lap2
Did the MSF course about a year ago now, best thing I ever did. Dropped the bike 2-3 times in the course and that stuck with me in real life. Teaches you confidence too
Indeed!
Im 50, I'm taking the msf course this July. Im nervous and excited, I've been binge watching these types of videos. Your video helped me out to have a clear mindset. Appreciate this
The people who actively seek knowledge before taking the course will always do well. You'll do great brother! Thanks for watching the video.
Same here, my msf course is on July 20/21. I've been practicing and watching videos nonstop cause I'm a bit nervous for the figure 8 box
@@Cristina-coolwoman mine is July 20/21 as well!
UPDATE: I passed my msf course this past weekend with flying colors! The biggest struggle for me was U-Turns at slow speed maneuver, BUT, the coaches provided me some feedback and applied it and I was making slow speed maneuvers in a U-Turn look like a cake walk! Go in with an open mind, ready to learn, receive the feedback and apply it and you'll do great!
Took it today n passed was definitely nerve wrecking lol😂 but anybody going to do the msf go for it!!!!!!
Hell yea brother! Congrats!!
Definitely congratulations on your passing of the MSF COURSE. Have fun and Ride Safe my friend.
Did u have no riding experience?
@@6GearCutloe😅😅😅😅😅😅 8:20 😅
A friend of mine encouraged me to take the MSF course and obtain my license instead of just buying a bike and "ride dirty." I was happy that I took the course because I definitely learned some things on top of getting a discount on my insurance because I passed the course. The written test is mostly basic defensive driving knowledge. Study the acronyms S.E.E. , T.C.L.O.C.S, and F.I.N.E. - C. Other than remembering the acronyms, you should be good on the written if you pay attention. Mistakes while riding are ok! Just don't make too many lol. I think 16 points or less gets you a pass. Points are accumulated when you mess up. The biggest thing I can say is stay upright. DO NOT DROP THE BIKE. That could potentially be an automatic fail. Really, I'd say that 90% of people should be just fine. The instructors do not set you up to fail.
Lol, I'm done now! Thanks for the video, 6! RESPECT 👊🏾.
Solid!
Just passed the course this past weekend. Was my first time ever sitting on a motorcycle. Dropped the bike once during braking in a curve. Pressed the brakes too hard and didn’t have the handlebars straight. Then to make matters worse I had to switch bikes before the test because the one I dropped wouldn’t turn on. Damn. Lol. Passed the test though so all good and got a nice lesson on emergency braking in turns.
THIS is what I would call a perfect experience! You were brave, made mistakes, saw the outcome of the mistake, fixed it, and passed! Congrats!
Thank you for the info, soaking up every thing I get a hold on to about the MSF Course that i Will soon be taking. My first ever in riding and MUCH OLDER ! Always had a passion for 2 wheels since 1986. Your absolutely right I ain't got time to play. I been riding a pedal bike for 3-4 years. So yea like a sponge & I'm very serious about this *ish! I've learned keep my head on a swivel by just riding pedal bike.. thanks my brother, Be safe out there and God Bless, may he protect you Always!
Thanks brother! Let me know how the course goes. Good luck!
Taking the course this weekend. Your video was a great confidence builder. Definitely hyped and ready to learn and join the community of riders! Thanks a lot gang! 🤙🏾💪🏾
Thank you for this, 35 this year, never even driven a manual car, and that fact has my confidence about succeeding in the course low, but I've got my MSF course booked for early August. It's good to keep in the front of my mind that they aren't there to fail me - but they're there to help me succeed. Ridden a bicycle since I was a lil' jit, and still ride at least once a week during the riding season - mostly theraputic to get out and away, always wanted to ride a motorcycle but was just never exposed to it.
I'm glad you mentioned the Bicycle part. I'll probably make a video on that. Most people come to the course and haven't ridden a bike in YEARS. Riding a bicycle will put you ahead of the other for sure because you'll have the mechanics of riding on two wheels down. Shifting gears is only difficult when you first get started. Understand that it's supposed to be difficult because it's a brand new skill you have to learn. Understanding that will help you to not get frustrated. You'll only shift to second gear in the course, and you'll only do that about 5 or 6 times. No worries at all! You'll do great!
35 as well and took the msf course today with zero experience , best thing I could’ve done. They definitely set you up for success. Good luck
@@uptownkickzz5931 Thank you! I just finished day 2 (day 1 on the range) and I was doing so much better than I expected, then I confidently layed the bike down. Did a no-stop slow approach waiting to go for the next part of the course and then I went forward when the person in front went - but they stalled and I quickly stop'd but it layed the bike down oh so gently. Embarassing, but no scratches or damage to the bike or me thankfully. The group I'm in is really great, 6 people 4 girls and 2 guys including myself, everyone's really upbeat and encouraging. I'm nervous for tomorrow, hoping I don't do something stupid again and it's supposed to rain, so if I pass I can atleast get past the unknown fears of weather and maneuvering around safely.
I ended up passing! Whole group passed, we had our second day/skills test in the rain - but it all worked out!
How did it go I’m setting my appointment up for it September 9th and I’m nervous as hell for it 😂
Love this video. Taking my course in August. I got a little more confident after this.
Thanks Allen! I hope the course goes well!
I'm glad I found this video, now I feel confident about taking the MSF course. Thank you so much!
Taking my course this weekend! thanks for the info dude! will update after my course.
Hell yea! Good luck out there! Let us know how it goes Deno!
I appreciate the production, brother. I'm going on Friday for my class. 3 days here in Michigan.
What an excellent video, I’m taking my course this month & m NERVOUS but I want it so bad …& thanks for building up the confidence ❤❤
Thanks for checking out the video. Everyone is nervous, and that's perfectly normal. Ask your instructor as many questions as you can and ask for help if you have trouble with the maneuvers. You'll do great! Come back and let us know how it goes.
Did it back in November 2019, got my license in January 2020 👌🏾 basically taught myself how to ride by watching countless motorcycle videos lol
UA-cam University for the win!
Just finished day 1 of 2 of the MSF, was doing really well that I could lead the group in the drills. All of us struggled with the stop into low speed turn but have done some more research on how to get that going. I think the most important part of all this is to really understand what the drills are enforcing in your habits so youre safe on the road. Great vid Cutloe you a DAWG
That's exactly what the drills are for. They know those slow speed drills are hard, especially for new riders, but they want to show you how important it is to get comfortable with those drills because anyone can go fast but it takes skill to maneuver the bike in slow speeds. Thanks for checking out the video brother! Let us know how the second day goes.
@@6GearCutloe Hey so passed the class no problem, did the course on the KTM 200 that the school provided so it was one of the better bikes of the fleet. Never road before other than ATVs etc so I know what going "fast" on a machine like that feels like so I think that helped a lot. Actually got to be the Bike Lead for most of the drills and the skills exam. I was happy with instructors and the knowledge they had to give and the attitude the rest of the class had towards learning. After you complete this class and get your license, you still have such a long ways to go but you can feel confident that if you apply the skills you learned in this class, you'll have that foundation to grow as a rider. My journey with that starts today and I hope the people that find this video and this message understand that you can accomplish any challenge with the right mindset and self assessment. Finally happy to say I'm apart of the club and can do that biker wave lmao
@@pappabear7617 Awesome! Congrats!
This one was a great one! Thank you good brother. I’m scheduling my course in the next few days .
Thanks brother. Check back in after the course! Let us know how it goes. Good luck and ride safe.
Thank you, getting ready to finally take the course, very helpful
Thanks for checking out the video. Good luck at the course! Let us know how it goes.
Just passed My MSF course. Never rode before, was great experience. Pretty hard to fail, instructors pationet about riding and helping there students. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking of riding.
Congrats brother!
I got 10 points deducted. The maximum amount of points you can get deducted without failing
@@ErikWeinstein which skills do you need to work on?
@@6GearCutloe I put my foot down on u turn. Stopping distance was to far. Didn't speed up enough on drills.
@@6GearCutloe thanks for responding. Was the surprised how many people have dropped their bike during the test.
Taking mine tomorrow and the second day a week from now, split over two Mondays. I'd have rather done it Saturday and Sunday but I can't get out of what I'm doing Saturdays for another couple months. I picked up a Triumph Trident 660 a little less than a month ago, between waiting on insurance and the class I haven't taken it out yet but I can hardly wait. I'm nervous but looking forward to it 👍
Being nervous is normal. You'll do fine. Get that Triumph on the road, brother! Good luck with finishing the course.
I've never been anxiously excited before until watching motorcycle stuff lol
🤣🤣 I know the feeling.
Damn bro this a good ass video. Ima big man w/ zero confidence, never been on 2 wheels in my life but I’m about to take this bad boi lol
I was the same way. Believe it or not, it'll be people there with less confidence than you. Whatever you do, don't give up! You'll make it!
It is great to see MSF endorsement; I took mine in 2010 and I had been riding motocross from age 12..I'm 49 years old now. I still learnt lots of things!! I did se two people not make it off the course, one was a teenager that their folks brought and he wasn't mature enough, he kept dropping the bike and not really listening to instruction. The other was a lady, petite and she wanted to start riding because she had lost her husband who had left her a full dresser Harley, she didn't want to sell it. There was no way she was riding that dresser, she was not confident enough and too petite, she was dropping the training bikes left and right. I honestly felt sorry for her; the instructors gave her their honest opinion not to ride.
Similar experience at the course I took. One lady didn't make it, but they tried everything to motivate her.
Great video bro!!! Keep up the dope content! 💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks J Long!
i’m on YT day in day out learning everything i can. plan on taking my MSF course soon hopefully i can get a bike next summer.
Thank you for the insight. I know I just need to go ahead and get it done. Tired of it always being in the back of my mind every time I ride.
You'll have fun and learn a lot. It's a win win! You got it!
Just did my first day. So glad I signed up because trying to learn as your go without the MSF would've fucked me up down the road
Solid! Congrats on taking the proper steps, family!
I'm taking mine next week. I'm excited and nervous! I plan on buying a Honda Rebel 300 as a college graduation gift for myself so I figure what better way to learn than through MSF!
Sounds like you're ready to ride! Congrats on graduating college. Now, it's time to graduate the MSF Course. Good luck, family!
Thank you for this video. It put me at ease. I take my MSF this weekend. I’m nervous about the written test. (Test anxiety) I am a female, 60 years young and getting back on a bike was on my bucket list. Road in my early 20’s. Stopped while raising a family. Bought my Dyna Lowrider in June. Have been out riding. Just need to work on the slow speed and tight turns. I got this! Right? 😬
Thank you for checking the video. You'll be fine. The written test is pretty easy if you're paying attention and ask questions for anything that you may not understand. The slow speed turns are difficult for everyone, even experienced riders. The key is to look where you want to go and believe in your throttle Control in the friction zone. All of this will make sense during the course. Check back in and let us know how it goes. Good luck!
Enjoyed the video bro! I’m taking the course next Saturday on the 15th. I took the erider online class so I’m ready for the riding portion. I already bought my bike 2 weeks ago and been practicing. Didn’t really struggle at all. Now I’m just fixing my errors and doing much better.
Are high ankle sneakers ok?
If you're already practicing and doing OK, you'll probably be one of the leaders in the drills. Yep high ankle sneakers are fine for the course.
I've got my course in 2 months! They did actually cancel mine because I live in Texas and it was extremely icy people aren't used to that so I got lucky because it gives me more time to watch videos like yours and get more prepared everybody that was in the class I was originally in had already been riding for a while they were just trying to get legal lol I was the only one who had never ridden by myself before lol
Thanks for checking out the video. If you've been watching videos and doing research, you're already off to a great start! It's a lot easier to pass when you've got some background information on how the course works. Keep us updated
Always great vids bro!!
Thanks!
Passed my MSS course! Thanks for the helpful videos.
Ghost Rider Achievement Unlocked!😎
Lets gooooooooo!!
Hell yea!! Congrats!!
I take my course This weekend. I can't wait. Never roll a motorcycle before but i'm glad I'm taking this class.
You'll have fun and learn a lot! Best of luck at the course Smoove!
@@6GearCutloe . Hi sir. I passed my msf course today. What an experience for a beginner rider omg. It was worth it all tho. Learned a lot over this weekend about motorcycle.
@@smoove2082 congrats!
That Msf course was a light breeze long as you pay attention. well said vid bro
True indeed. Thanks brother.
Thank you I’m 13 turning 14 next year and I’m already looking stuff up and everything and I feel like this will help me next year thank you once again
Thank you for taking the time out to watch this video. You're already on the right path. Get as much information as you can and be ready to learn. You'll do great!
My MSF is in 2 hours, and respect for the wisdom bro. I needed to hear you say that about the airplane flyin by, filled me up and got my mind right n ready. Great vidja and epic bike!!! Be safe, can't wait to join ya on 2 wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS RIDING SEASON ITS RIDING SEASON hahahahaha
You're gonna kill it brother! Thanks for checking out the vid man. Glad you liked it. Let us know how it goes!
@@6GearCutloe My guy!!!! I only stalled the bike 9001 times but hey thats what an ole 125cc Z bike and an empty parking lot is for right?! ^.^ Had a frikin blast save for that good ole texas heat, worth every drop of sweat!!! The hype is real! Learned so much day 1 hands on, didnt want to stop practicing!
@@6GearCutloe 400 miles under my belt later...My mood depends on if I got to ride my bike to work or not! HAHAHAHA
Hey yo 6 !, you good great aptitude I like it how you lay it down bro .
I’m on my second bike 🏍️ 2018 Zx-6r and I’m still have been riding on my MP , my first bike I ever own was a 2006 Honda CBR-600RR had it for 3 years 2009/2012.
Just got my ninja 🥷 just got my Zx-6r six months ago after been off riding for 11 years almost.
I got enrolled today for my MSF for October over here in Catersville Ga, with the Harley Davidson MSF !!.
I saw you are here in Marietta riding by the big chicken 🐔.
Be safe bro 👊🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Good to see you going for the MSF certification, brother! How do you like the Ninja so far?
Awesome middle weight bike , I’m 5’-7” 145 pounds .
Having lot of fun with it after almost 11 years , back in the game 👊🏻🙌🏻🏍️👍🏻, Be safe 6Gearcutloe .
Great video. I was the weakest rider in my class, but I was there early every day and asked questions and let the coaches know what I thought were my weak points were and tried to listen to what they said. Three riders that I know were better than me failed the exam. All three put their foot down multiple times during the final exam phase. I went wide on U turn and missed a cone in the curves section and probably got points in every stage of the exam and passed. The coaches didn't let on how we scored until we went inside. I think that was the worst part of the whole course. Everyone drop their bike at least once if not more during the 3 day course no big deal, just don't drop it during the exam. the student that dropped their bike the most during training had the best score at the end of the exam. Remember make sure you do the e-course before you get there or you won't get to ride.
Solid! Congrats on your certification!
I have to ask did you have any riding experience at all because I don’t and I feel like I should know at least how to start rolling and stopping the bike
@@yensu8671 only bicycles and a 50cc scooter.
@@yensu8671nah they’ll teach you everything. I’ve never rode before so I’ll have to learn everything too. Was watching a lot of videos but that was months back. Don’t remember much tips. Mainly let go of the clutch slowly so it doesn’t stall
Taking mine in August. Last time I let my nerves get me after I did a 180 on the bike - saved both myself and the bike but my nerves hit an all time high. Chickened out. But hoping this round is better for me.
Everyone goes through similar learning pains. Keep at it, and you'll get it. Don't be afraid to ask for extra help. Good luck family! Let us know how it goes.
I'm taking the MSF this weekend! Thanks for all the information!
Good luck, I’m taking mine next weekend.
@@daltby4363 Good luck to you as well!
Good look to you both! Let us know how it goes.
i’m also taking it this weekend! i have both my tests later today it’s currently 4am 😅

I’m taking it tomorrow a little nervous but definitely going in wit confidence
How was it?!
@@nickgoodwin1105 pretty good I passed it was indeed hard but I had fun honestly really worth it
Congrats man!
Did the first day today and feel like I did so bad. Now watching a bunch of videos like that’s somehow going to make me pass tomorrow 😭
If you feel like you did bad, then you're on the right path. This is new to you, you're not going to come to MSF and pop wheelies 😂. It's like a baby trying to walk... after a while it will become easy. Keep at it! Don't give up! You'll make it, I promise!
@@6GearCutloe thank you for the encouraging words. I did end up passing!!
@Bekah That's awesome! Congrats! Now the task is to continue to practice with your bike, alone, in a parking lot. Do it until you're comfortable. Take your time, be patient, don't get frustrated, and you'll start having fun really soon!
Great video man.
Thanks fam
shoot I got a sad story I could not even make it to the course on the final day but luckily in my state I can do a permit a lone and get an endorsement.
Yo, how are you liking those dainese pants? Got mines a few weeks ago. Feels warm and comfy with protected knee armor, but it feels a little baggy. Fell down on it doing slow speed maneuvers and the armor it did an excellent job, barely felt the bike on my leg and the pants was still good.
I'm sorry to hear about the fall. I'm glad the pants did their job. I love these pants. The zipper for the vent helps in heat, and they are pretty warm when it's cold.
Dude sounds like Ed Bassmaster’s “Always Teste”. Hahahahaha “on the strenfff. Fa real yo”
I am getting ready to take it. I have a motorcycle that I’ve been using around the neighborhood to get practice, but would you recommend using their bikes on the actual course?
They usually have the bike available for you to use. I would use thiers if you can. If you've already been practicing, you'll do great.
passed the course at 15, you learn a lot and ride more confidently. before it i dropped my bike 2 out of the 3 times i rode, after it my first ride was nerve racking and i was scared (125 cc msf course bikes to a ninja 650) so i got off. got back on about a week later and rode every day after that never dropped it. take the course, you may think your above what they teach or it isn’t needed but everyone learns something trust me.
Solid!
Class is end of April and I’m excited!
Hell yea! You'll do great! Perfect time to start riding.
I got my motorcycle permit, aced it. Never drove a motorcycle, but I ride a high powered e bike on the streets.
Do you think that will translate well to riding a motorcycle at the msf course?
You'll have an advantage for sure. Most people at the course haven't riding a bicycle in years!
Getting ready to take my course April 6-7 got a helmet and gloves and some steel toe work boots should I get good ?
Yep, you're good. Bring a jacket as well.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
MSF is tomorrow. Thanks for the reminders
Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
I got day 2 tmr, I felt great first day but I stalled one time and he kinda tried to belittle me and didn’t really tell me how to correct. I let it get in my head. Gonna go tmr with an unbroken mindset
Way to keep a positive mindset moving forward. Everyone stalls the bike, you'll continue to stall it well after you pass the course. Like you said, don't let it get in your head. Check out a few vids on not stalling the bike and you'll get it brother! Good luck family!
Last time I rode a moped. And had issues stRti g off what's the best advice for that
Is there a written test on msf class also ? Or that's just on the dmv?
And also can i use my own bike for training?
Yes, there's a written test at the end of MSF. Easy to pass if you pay attention. I'm pretty sure you can use your own bike, but I wouldn't recommend it. Use theirs in case you drop it.
I have to ask I don’t have any riding experience at all is that bad or should I know how to at least get the bike moving?
I had zero riding experience as well. They'll teach you how to get the bike moving. All you have to do is show up and LISTEN. You'll do great!
Going to sign up for the MSF course now
Solid!
My question is how many hours are the classroom part of the course and what type of test is it.?
If I remember correctly, we spent maybe a total of 2 hours in the classroom. One test is an in class test. The other test is a riding test that you must complete. It usually consists of slow speed maneuvers .
Good video 6g. Need a microphone
Im taking my class on may 25th and 26th. Its gonna be 6 of us in a class. Where can i buy gloves and a helmet? Coming from Texas
Visit your local cycle gear or motorcycle dealership. They should have gloves and helmet. Good luck on the course family.
@6GearCutloe I found some, thanks brother. I went to hornytoadhd to get some.. that's where I'm taking my class also
Hey man, I'm 35 no riding experience but it's always been my dream to ride motorcycles. I just passed my motorcycle permit test, and I plan on doing MSF next month. Should I be worried as a person with 0 experience? Or will MSF walk me through and prep me on all I need to know?
I started riding at 34. Zero riding experience. Didn't even know how to drive a manual car. MSF Basic Rider Course will get you started. You'll learn how to get the bike moving and how to turn the bike at slow speeds (harder than it looks). Those skills will set the foundation you need to start learning. After the course, you'll need to practice on a regular basis until you're comfortable enough to hit the public road. Find an empty street or parking lot and practice practice practice! Good luck family!
@@6GearCutloe thanks bro, I'm excited to finally get my journey started.
@@BADforlyfe Yeah no worries I started when I was 38 and I had no idea about motorcycles but MSF get me thru this really easy.
Taking msf this weekend July 8 and 9 nervous everyone I talked to said you'll pass I'm just going to go in listen to instructors ask ? And I should be fine by the way it's in wisconsin called cruisin safely msf.
Absolutely no reason to be nervous. Everyone there will be a beginner just like you. As long as you come ready to learn you'll be fine. Let us know how it goes brother.
Whats up brother I want to learn to ride never rode ever I was just going to buy me a 250cc to start off with how much is the class
Awesome! Good luck on your journey. The class is usually about $200 or less in GA.
I dont know how to find or where to find the course in order to take it

Some courses do have poles
It’s they job to see you succeed trust in the process people
Indeed brother!
Failed my first time. Wish me luck. Test tomorrow. 2nd time is the charm.
What did you do wrong? What steps did you take to get it right?
I got to take mine July 7to the 9 and I’m scared but I feel like I got this
The only thing you should fear is the disappointment of not trying. You'll be fine, just pay attention to the instructors and ASK as many questions as you need. Good luck brother .
Bruh said no jitters n no shitters lol
😂
Do they give you a test or is just a riding test
Written and riding. It's Easy if you're locked in and paying attention.
I wanna take my motorcycle course.
Any good tips
Never give up. Pay attention to the instructors and ask hella questions!
Nice Motojitsu shout out
wish me luck im gonna take the MSF course tomorrow

could you talk about tires
Yes indeed. I'll make a video soon! Thanks for the idea.

GA? I use to live there. I was looking at his surroundings trying to see. Haha...
Can I I’m 16 and I live in Texas
Not completely sure but I think you can. I would call the local msf office and confirm.
Concentrate man

These seem for people who dont have common sense
Common sense is uncommon nowadays.
1 minute in...heard enough 🙄
Honestly as a beginner I couldn’t watch your whole video, respectfully your a lil too high of yourself and wanted to hear more of the course
Understandable. There are several other FREE youtube videos that can possibly give you what you're looking for. Thanks for taking the time to check out this video. Good luck on your riding journey.
