Would anyone be willing to teach me to ride? I want to be able to at least ride before I take the MSF course and get my own bike. I'm not asking to ride a person's new bike or anything, they could have an extra that is the most haggard piece of shit ever and I wouldn't mind learning on it.

I worked at a MSF course this summer, plenty of people come and do fine w/no experince on a motorcycle before. They teach you all the proper steps.

Already signed up, I'm just a little nervous I guess you could say. I've never ridden anything but a dirt bike and that was once. I did horrible because I didn't know how a manual transmission worked and no one showed me how. Just a little scared from past experiences.

That wasn't the R1 was it???
Pasty...I am guessing you don't have a bike yet to learn on? Very few people will let you jump on their bikes without you already knowing what to do. Hell, I am cautious who rides my '00 and it has a crash cage on it, so there is very little damage they could do to themselves. And I can count the people who have ridden my '03 on one hand and have fingers left over.
My suggestion, be patient and use the course. They have people with 0 experience all the time, and you will be on a little 250cc bike anyway, hard to get in too much trouble!! Good luck mang.

Man don't worry about past experience, dirt bike is similar but its not a street bike, plus I seen the instructors at the MSF teach ppl that had no manual driving experience or anything and it took awhile but they got it down. Before I took the MSF I had no prior riding experience except for a 10 speed although driving stick helped with the concept of clutching on a bike. Dont worry about practicing before hand, the instructors at MSF's are usually great and teach the newbest of newbs good things! If your taking the class at Bayside Harley I can vouch that they got great instructors but I hear others round here are good too!
