Okay so my friend and I both got our bikes at about the same time and the only real difference between him and I is that I took the MSF course and he did not. I guess he got a learning permit and didn’t bother to get the full license.
I was on my little ninja 250 and he got a blacked out Harley 48 (beautiful bike)
Unfortunately he wrecked it on the freeway (with only 1500miles on the bike) and doesn’t ride anymore.
The reason why he crashed was because he panicked brake and only used his rear brake making the bike tire lock up and slide. I was riding behind him and the accident could have been easily avoided with proper riding technique.
He was okay, but like I said above the harley is wrecked with frame damage collecting dust in his backyard.
I believe that if he had taken the MSF course he would still be riding today.
The MSF course was the best $200.00 I have ever spent.
I am thinking about taking a track day course and learn a bit more.
