the course I took on base was a MSF course. And it was one day.

Guy I know and his 2 friends trailered theirs there last year....It rained almost the entire time they where there
They didn't want to get their chrome all messed up so they rode all of about 2 hours one afternoon and then put them back in the trailers

They will not and cannot expect you to do something on your bike that you cannot do. The instructor scraped his floorboards on the tight cones :shrug:
I think you should take it on the bike you ride it will get you better aquainted with your own bike.
Totally serious on this one

I am very well aquianted with my bike and I can do anything, with the exception of turning right into a parking spot, but wrestling an 800+ pound Ultra Classic through those little cones 8 inches apart in a S is unreasonable. I did it on my Honda and the pipes still clipped cones.Dougstermd said:They will not and cannot expect you to do something on your bike that you cannot do.

Nope, the state will give you the M if you take the MSF course -OR- you can go take the written test, then the state riding test.onebdzee said:
I did the state riding test in Loveville in a pouring rain, fogged up visor and it was about 98 degrees
I passed everything except the slow ride. I exited the lines in 11.5 seconds instead of 12 seconds

Here's the real story. Throughout my 20 years of military service and transfering my drivers license from state to state, I lost the "M" on it and had to retake everything to get my license reinstated. Took the Maryland 2 day course. They give you a card with MSF on it. The base takes this card for their Safety course. I did not have to take the base course. The Maryland course suffices and "in accordance with" the base instruction, it is only needed to register your bike on base and get a base sticker.onebdzee said:

Vince said:Why did you take both?
OK I se your confusion. I took the base course to get my stickers. I was referring to the driving test Course at the MVA. I think I was just more nervous at the MVA.
The base MSF driving course I thought was really fun plus Civil servants and Military are given special leave to take the course.
What could be more fun than gettin paid to do riding tricks on your motorcycle
