I was caught renewing my base sticker. It's OK, I'm enrolled for the second week in August- going to be nasty hot no doubt. The up side is I don't have to take a leave day to participate- it's on a Tuesday- and I can log the training. The course is good for three years. Attached is a copy of the instruction.

Which course, the ERC? I might try and get in, depending on how they handle contractors. Or retired guys.

I was just talking to a guy about this last week. He was a former MSF instructor on base in Germany.

He said the sport bike class is basically the same instruction/riding test as the experienced riders class.

You know how it is the Navy just wants to say its doing all it can to cut down on motorcycle fatalities/injuries before it finally bans them altogether "well we did all that we could do".

The course is good for three years on all but sport bikes.. Sport Bikes have to return EVERY year..

I couldn't get a base pass without a reserved seat in the class. Call 2-4247 to reserve a spot; I think a retiree will have a lower priority than a GS or contractor. I'll keep an open mind, but I'm way too used to the Navy punishing the many for the sins of the few. I didn't see an annual requirement for sport riders in the instruction, just a 60 day window from date of purchase.

Bob, looking through the instruction, I agree with Ed, doesnt appear that the SB riders are annual, every three like everyone else. Ed, was that the Experienced Rider Course? Or the Sport Bike Rider Course?

I did it in March, wouldn't mind doing it again on this bike.

The old bike I was having a good time.. Doing the U's in the SMALL box.. Did get yelled at to slow down though.

Bob, look at post #21, Ed attached it, the instruction that is. I was asking Ed if the ones he's taking is the ERC. He and I know each other from way back and it would be cool to take with a buddy.

They turned two or three scheduled students away the day of our class.. One showed up without his license AND registration.. (Naval Officer, not too bright)

Instruction attached to post #21. And oh, great. Another slow handling BS course, exactly what I was thinking it would be. Yay. I'll bet they want me to slow with my back brake, then my front brake, then both to show me the difference.
1. I'm not on a race track, I always use both brakes.
2. It's moot anyway, the CBR1100XX has linked brakes.
3. Would they vapor-lock if I did a stoppie? Just for fun...:lmao:

I doubt it. They usually just say that you have to use both...which I didn't like. My BMW has linked brakes as well if you use the "front" brake and it will distribute the braking power much better than I ever could. I'd only touch the back brake on mine if I was riding in dirt/gravel.
