[QUOTE="jwilly, post: 171682, member: 1655"] "FWIW, I went through the entry level MSF course and nailed all the aspects of that class. Low speed figure 8's on a Honda CRF200 were relatively easy for me even though they were really hard for a lot of the class. That soft suspension and tall profile made the figure 8's harder I think then they would have been on that little 225cc twin that some of the other students were using." Sid I know the point your trying to make that you did a great job in the rider course, which is awesome! However doing figure "8's" on the FJR with little or no experience would be like doing figure 8's on unicycle with a 600lb gorilla on you shoulders. Like others have mentioned, try something smaller for awhile and then fire up an FJR. Good luck and ride long!! -jwilly [/QUOTE]
