While I agree taking the course on your own ride if you have no experience with it and it is a larger bike is a bad idea, unless we are talking about a bike with extended forks, frame etc. Most any bike can be put through the course. It is technique and skill, not man handling that will get ya through. If you are brand new, then yes use the smaller bikes they offer. Then go out and practice on your own ride until you can do the same thing on yours.

JK, James, good write up of your experience.

I would say to all newbies:
A) DO take an MSF coarse with an open mind
B) Buy as much bike as you can afford in the family you like (Sportster, Dyna, SOFTAIL, or Touring)
C) NEVER ride when drunk or stoned.
D) Never ride over your head.
E) ALL cages have the potential to kill you.
F) Purchase a service manual for your bike
G) Wrench on your own ride as much as you can
H) FRED!

E) Assume ALL cages are trying to kill you.

There, I fixed that for you.
