I took the motorcycle course as well and would certainly recommend it. I hadn't ridden a bike since my motocross days in the 70's so was looking not for how to ride a motorcycle but how to do it safely on the road. We used their bikes in the parking lot lessons and could use our own on the road portion. It felt good to be riding with the instructors the first few times I had my CB on the road. For those who didn't have their full license yet they offered a mock road test and would meet you at the motor vehicle office for moral support.
And what Veech said. It doesn't really matter whose fault it is. When there's a crash it's often the motorcyclist that's the worse off at fault or not.
And the single best tip I got was counter steering. Push right, go right, push left go left.
It's not an automatic reaction for me yet so I'm working on that. And having a blast on my CB!
