- I DID IT!!!!! What an incredible experience!
If you are interested in motorcycles, have a plan to get your license or are a new rider that might just need a little bit of skill improvement...TAKE THIS COURSE. I cannot recommend it enough. I'm so thankful that I was able to use my bike in the course, eternally thankful for Ms. V and so ready to ride for the rest of my life.
Thank you all for your support through the journey and I literally can't wait to see where it all goes next. Leave a comment with some video ideas for the future!

Great instructors is definitely a huge plus. So proud of you and more importantly you are proud of yourself. Yay🎉
I absolutely agree and thank you so much😊🤘🏻
Good instructors make or break the moto courses
I feel you. I took mine at the Harley Davidson place. When we did the hands on it was a struggle. It felt they would go so fast and pushing us. I was so frustrated. They bike they had me use was just too big. Dropped it like 3 times. At that point if was not safe for me to continue. I cried all the way home that day. I passed the written test so all I need was the hands on. They sent me to another Harley Davidson place and I rode a Eliminated which way better and smaller. I finished the rest of the cource and riding test but was 3 points too much to pass. Re-did the driving test at the mfs headquarters but dropped it during the test. Did it once again but this time 1 on 1 with the trainer and passed with 0 points! If you put your mind to it anything can happen. Got my license and my first bike both in December. Kawasaki 2023 Z400.
Good on you for knowing what you want and continuing to try!!! Getting back on the bike is the hardest part, but better to fail time and time again in class than out there in the real world. All those “failures” taught you valuable lessons you probably use on the road every day! Congrats on passing and your bike. Ride safe!🤘🏻
SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU BABE!!! I knew you could do it, and Mrs. V was the PERFECT teacher for you! 🎉 🙌🏻 🧡
“When the student is ready, the master appears.” -Confucius (probably??)
Thank you love😊🤍 and yes… Confucius.. for sure😂
I only remember Anthony Hopkins saying that in the Mask of Zorro. lol
Hell yeah!!! Congrats Nina! So proud of you!
The non-Harley courses are so much better. Really laid back and so much less stressful. I'm glad y'all found a non-Harley course. I'm sure Burch has already said this, but training is not over. You will learn more now riding out on the road than in that course. Keep yourself safe and ride defensively! I look forward to riding with you!!!
Thank you Link!!🙌🏻 Training is never over! There will always be something to learn and improve on… it’s just now I can go further than a mile in a parking lot to test the theory 😂😂😂🤘🏻
Can’t wait to ride with you!!
I took my MSF through the local Harley dealer and it wasn't stressful at all. The way the second course is described in this video was my experience in the local Harley course.
@@brianhanlon9602 Same here.
Getting my license felt like unlocking a whole new world. It’s so cool seeing other people experience that excitement! Also you and Burch have such a genuine way of talking to the camera, it doesn’t feel like you guys are playing a character which is really refreshing.
My first time ever riding a motorcycle was in my MSF class and the instructions in mine did an amazing job and they do work with you. It’s been 7 months and I wake up looking forward to ride
See this course brought back my passion that exact way! So glad I took it!
This what happened to me. I left my hd class on a first day! I was so stressed and needed more explanation from instructor. He told me that I have to decide if I want to stay or leave but remember that future exercises will be even harder and if you want to stay you have to show me you are able to do this exercise that the group is almost done with. Hearing that will all the stress I just left
A good instructor that wants you to pass won't treat you like that. I don't like Harleys or their dealerships and heard their classes are like boot camps. Mine was nothing like that. I try not to even converse with Harley riders at stop lights, because my experience with them is complete arrogance (Kawasaki here). I don't know if it's their culture or what, and I certainly don't mean all of them. When I get hate comments for this, it will prove my point.
OMG, So sad! Failed yesterday! I love the Course overall as to learning the basics. As to shoving in so much info that you are expected to nail all that in two short days and pass a test? Holy cow! I walked away disappointed in myself. Anxiety, nervous, all played into a bad day. DAY ONE was near perfect! Which, never riding a bike more than maybe a couple hours years ago on a little motor dirt bike, made me happy. The pressure of starting day 2 out on figure eights and watching one young guy dump pretty hard? It was all down hill.
Congrats! Being 51, I start to feel age is the issue.
It’s all about what you learned while you were there!! Take another course, I highly recommend the one I took and she also offers a 3 wheel class!
Hey I'm 62 and some people take longer to absorb information, not age related. If it's possible, I recommend learning one to one. Always go at your own pace, you will become a much happier and more confident rider. I'm waiting to take the on road part of the course and it will be my third course. I'm doing it my way and really enjoying it. You can do this 👊
I'm 64 and agree with you. For me it wasn't the exercises themselves, but trying to figure out which way to go on the course. I've always have direction issues (nothing GPS can't handle), but if I'm following an example, I'm fine. Given multiple direction at once can be confusing to me. I can play Chopin's Military Polonaise in A Maj from memory, but to get from A to B, then C to D, not so much. We all have our talents. @@lilynorthover8378
That's so awesome!! I just showed up to my MSF class without knowing how to start a bike, so I can't imagine doing that in 100 degree weather. The instructors really do a great job making the class a good experience.
Congratulations on your success! I live in Wyoming, here we have the department of transportation course or the H-D program. I have a family member who had to take the WY DOT class twice. He had no prior experience on motorcycles. Now you have true freedom, just be alert on the road.
I too hit the cone on my u-turns. Totally get it. I loved the MSF course as well. Took last weekend passed, also have a Rebel 300. Love it. Congratulations and love the honesty of your post. Very inspirational to us new riders!!
Good for you , love watching your video I too took my test on April 15th and 16th , and passed.
I turned 60 on April 15th ,this was on my bucket list , love my Honda Rebal .
Keep doing your videos you are very encouraging.
Congratulations on your pass
The difference is a good school wants to show you how easy and fun it is so you want to do it. At a bad school, the instructors want you to think it's difficult, almost "see how good I am because I can do it". Sounds like you found a good school the second time. Also, and it shouldn't be this way, some male instructors like to play the "Big Man" with younger female riders. My wife had the same when she took her first course here in the UK, we found her a different course and she nailed her test mas they had more respect for the students. Glad you got sorted and hope you enjoy your ongoing motorcycle journey :)
I just failed my MSF course here in texas.. my instructors were similar to your first instructors. I'm still debating what to do. I'm pretty crushed by it, but I really appreciate you sharing your story with us.❤
You can do this!! It’s all about the skill you learned while you were out there. Passing the test really means nothing. Jim bob can pass the test and be the worst rider on the road or you can continue to learn in your skill, pass the test and be an excellent rider. You got this!!
Congrats! I got my permit a few weeks ago and I'm scheduled to take my training June 8th and 9th! So excited! If you told me a year ago that I'd be going for my motorcycle license at age 52, I'd look at you like an alien lol! Funny how working in a motorcycle shop opens up your mind to possibilities. :) I'm subbed!
Congrats! Crazy to hear about your first experience...I took my MSF at a Harley Dealer this last weekend and it was awesome. 8 people, 3 instructors, plenty of breaks and multiple bathrooms. They provided food and drinks. It was a 10 out of 10 experience. It must come down to the instructors and program managers at each location that make it or break it.
At my Harley course near the end of May, we had breaks, clean bathroom on our longer breaks, snacks if we brought them, an hour lunch break. Money welll spent. We had 12 in our group. Congratulations on your success!!!
Congratulations! It feels wonderful having the motorcycle license! You did great! Enjoy your bike and keep learning
Well done! It's such a relief when you pass especially when you struggled previously. Get out there on your bike as much as possible and get some miles under your belt. The more you ride the easier it gets. I can't wait to see what adventures you get up to
I’m so ready to get out there!!🤘🏻
So proud of you Nina!! You are such an inspiration. Congratulations on your motorcycle endorsement. I’m so glad my first msf experience was good. It was at the local area tech school so we had a real bathroom in a building and vending machines. I never thought people would have to deal with portapottys what a nightmare.
Thank you so much! And ikr?! I would’ve loved to have a building near by in either of my courses, but I’ll take a clean portapotty lol!
I recommend looking into the next step, the advanced riders course. I was riding for over 20 years before I took my first ARC, and I wished I had known about the course back when I was younger.
Those are hard to find. Nearest one to me is over 100 miles away.
Hell ya!!! So excited for you! Congrats! Having the right instructor makes a huge difference. From what I've heard the Harley classes seem more geared to people who already know how to ride and just need the class for their license. I took a class similar to yours and it was wonderful!
Thank you!! And yes! I was thinking recently that most of the people in my Harley class were exactly that, riding dirty for years and finally decided to get the big M! Lol! Congrats on your class as well!🤘🏻
man Harley is not the place to do MSF course. I feel for ya for sure. I did my MSF course at Harley and they had us TOASTING in the sun in June. I thought they were giving us enough water breaks but I was dead wrong. When I got home that night I had some severe heat exhaustion symptoms. Shivering, shaking, body aches from hell. One girl almost had a emergency cardiac event cause she got so hot. Congrats on the course completion! Do an advanced course next! it's so fun and much less stress than the initial MSF course!
Congrats Nina! 🎉 Happy to see that this time you had a great instructor. Just in time for the season! Stay safe ✌️
Thank you so much!!🤘🏻
Good job on passing the course. Keep practicing, have fun, and ride within your skill limits. Don’t ever be pressured into going too fast.
Thank you so much and I’m always of the mindset of riding my own ride!
I just finished the HD New Rider Course. I had two great instructors, lots of personal coaching, no yelling, frequent breaks... Sorry you didn't have the same high-quality training I got. Mine was at the HD dealership in Madison, Alabama. We used their training bikes (mid-sized sport bikes.)
Congrats Nina! Yeah I haven't been the biggest fan of Harley riders so I'm not surprised you had that experience with them. Glad you had a genuinely good instructor to guide you properly towards being more comfortable and enjoying your two wheeled experience!
Thank you!! I’m so glad I went with a different course! Made the world of difference!🌎
That’s so cool that you stuck with it and I’m so happy for you. I am 50 years old and I’ve been riding my whole life. I really like everything you’re saying here and if you keep up your attitude, you will be riding for a very long time! PS, when I went through the fire academy there were multiple choice questions on tests where several of the answers were correct. They were expecting you to pick the “best” answer even though several of them were right and therefore I got a couple questions wrong. That’s total bull poopy if you ask me!!!!! That’s right, I said bull poopy
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉hell yeah another female rider. I know right i feel the same, for the rest of my life I get to ride! Congrats girl
This is your first video I’ve watched and I really like your style! I also wanted to say amazing job not giving up after the Harley course. I have seen how tough some of the Harley instructors can be. I took my 2 day like you MSF course at my local community college. The instructor was great and very patient. Always added a bit of comedic relief during the breaks we got too. I know I just couldn’t complete the box test at all, however for my course it was pass/fail. So I didn’t get a point score. Keep at the practicing. Now I have been riding and practicing on my own, I can easily do a box test. Very proud of you for sticking with it. Side note, I dropped the bike on me during my course during the box test. I got a concussion, muscle contusion and bone bruise on the leg the bike fell on. I managed to complete the course though lol. Thankfully I was wearing an armored jacket, knee and ankle protection so no broken bones lol.
It’s awesome you found a course that was such a positive experience! I think it really comes down to the instructors because I took my MSF class at a Harley dealership. My experience was a lot like how you described your positive experience and nothing like how you described your Harley course experience. Our instructors were SOO experienced and SOO good.
I think your best bet is probably to check reviews and talk to people who have taken the course you’re looking at. Also keep in mind that the same course may have different instructors at different times. The Harley course sure did and I took the class when it was being taught by my preferred instructor. Probably a huge part of why it was such a positive experience.
Congrats! Super proud of you Nina. Keep those videos coming, I enjoy them.
Thank you so much!! And I will!🤘🏻
Rock on 🤘🏼you got this! Burch is a good teacher 😂
Yay! You go girl! Welcome to the club. You have all season to ride and grow in your riding journey!
Thank you so much! I’m so excited!!🤘🏻
Congratulations 🎉 I'm so pleased for you, good instructors make all the difference! Happy riding 🤟
Thank you!!😊🤘🏻
Congratulations on trying again and getting it done. When I live in Canada, Manitoba has now made it a prerequisite to getting your beginner's license that you must first pass a provincial motorcycle safety course. I did have to do my knowledge (written test at a driver licensing place) before you are allowed to participate in the course. At the end of three days they gave us all a fairly simple test. a short curved path that we had to get up to speed in second gear by a certain point, do a quick stop at the first end, a u turn, and then get back to the start in under 20 seconds (it could be less than that all I know is I passed. But then we have a graduated licensing program so I had to wait nine months before I can do my final road test under a driving tester. I haven't done that yet because I haven't had enough practice time. Our instructors were wonderful. very nice and empathetic knowing we are all just learning. They would stop you to give you some feed back, it was great. Relaxed and fun. have a Rebel 500 and I am loving it.
I like your attitude so much that I’m sending this video to my daughter. I’ve been riding for decades and my 32 year old daughter wants to learn! After all she grew up being around motorcycles because of her dad.
I used to think that I would teach her how to ride but instead we’re gonna take a class together. I don’t want to teach her the bad habits that I’ve learned over the decades. I want to take her to an instructor like yours so she can learn good habits from the beginning!!
By the way I’m always learning and pushing myself to learn from every ride. I do however think she would benefit from a formal class that I never had when I was her age!!
Congrats!!!!! Keep practicing and be safe!!!!
Thank you!!😊🤘🏻
You go, girl! I enjoy watching videos by you and Burch because you’re good people!
Thank you!😊
Congratulations!!
Thank you!!🤘🏻
Thank you for this inciteful video on your experience taking your rider course outside of a Harley davidson. In my area there isnt a whole lot of options and a lot of people push to go to the Harley academy ( Which not hate to them) and while yes in my area they have good reviews I wanted something different since at the end of my course I dont plany to purchase a harley rather I love sports so much more. This video helped a lot to keep looking at other places near me. I found one and I plan to soon schedule my class thank you (:
Congrats. I’m enjoying your journey. I hope you keep your YT going. I’m learning from you. 🎉
Omg, I’m so happy for you. I still have my first bike sitting in the back of the garage. She isn’t running these days but I have plans to get her that way. Enjoy riding, it’s what keeps me sane most of the time.
Thank you!! You gotta get her up and running 100%! I can’t wait to get out and ride more!
Congratulations!!!! 🎊🍾🎈
Thank you!!🤘🏻
Congrats! I still remember the feeling after I passed, but it wasn't until I got my updated license card with M1 printed on it, that it felt fully mission accomplished.
See that’s next on the list!! Can’t wait to see it!
Woooo hoooo!!!! Good for you.
Love the honesty!!!
Great job Nina! I'm so proud of you. Can't wait to see you ride your bike on the road. Ride ypur ride.
Thank you!! And always!🤘🏻
I’m glad that I took my course with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. We had a class of 8 including me. Amazing instructor and positive experience.
WOOT WOOT!!!!!! So PROUD of you!!! Great video!
Thanks momma Burch!!😊💚
Keep your Head up never give up.keep riding that rebel
congratulations! im glad it waws a much better experience!
Thank you!! Me too!🤘🏻
omg im so happy for you great job id love to see motovlogs from you!!
Thank you!! Posted my first one today!
Congratulations!🎉
Thank you!!🤘🏻
Can not wait too see the videos and vlogs you make with this bike!! 🎉 congratulations
Thank you so much and me too I can’t wait!🤘🏻
Well done! Keep riding and your skills will improve with time!
Thank you! That is the plan!🤘🏻
So exciting! You’ve got this
Thank you!!🤘🏻
That's awesome to hear! Congratulations! I just got my permit. Taking the driving test next week. With my work schedule I don't have days free to do the safety course yet. I'm nervous about it even though I know I can do the riding. My anxiety makes tests difficult.
You’re gonna crush it!! Your instructor will go over everything and demo the exercise before you do it. Take deep breaths!!
Congrats! I did the same last weekend and totally understand about the Harley course. This is my 2nd time doing it after dropping out the 1st time because of the heat. But I had different instructors this time and they made a big difference, also the weather was a lot cooler 😅
Thank you!! I’m starting to wonder if maybe everyone was just heat exhausted! So glad you had some better coaches the second time around. Congrats!!🤘🏻
Congrats on your motorcycle license enjoy it. I rode mine the first time this week freaking loved it I’m definitely addicted to it now i just need to get a tag and insurance don’t wanna push my luck taking it on the rd with no insurance or tag
Congrats! Be careful out there!
Thank you!!🤘🏻
Congratulations. I'm so proud, and jealous. I'm trying to take my bike license, but here in Sweden it's so much more difficult and so many more rules and red tape.
Thank you!! It seems like anywhere in Europe it is far more difficult to get any type of license!
Thank you for sharing this message 🙏 😊
Thanks Tom!
conrats!!!!! brings me back to when i was learning to ride
Congratulations!
Thank you!!🤘🏻
Congratulations Nina!!!
I take my BRC Course in two weeks! Pretty cool that you were able to take the course on your 300. I laughed when you said you have a fuel injected bike and you were ahead of the game lol.
Thank you!! And you’re totally gonna crush it!! And hey… being a head of the game is being ahead… even if it means I knew how to turn my bike on 😂🤘🏻
So great to hear you passed and have your mojo back too! Looking forward to some videos of you riding out and about…..
Thank you so much! Me too!🤘🏻
What a great video. I'm at the starting point, watching video's, reading material and preparing for the written test. (Still deciding between the Rebel 500 and Vulcan S) but I really appreciate this.
You've definitely given me the validation to look for another course. My experience with the Harley course was very similar, I withdrew the first range day because of the bootcamp style training. I want a fun learning environment, that wasn't it.
If you are in Maryland PLEASE sign up for Ms. V’s class. I promise you it will change your whole attitude and make you love riding again. Honestly even if you’re not in MD, it’s worth the hotel.
Im fom MD but living in FL... range day in full gear and that heat was no joke! I visit MD often so I can for sure look into classes ❤ Thank you & congratulations!
@@alanabryant7773 good luck!! And trust me I understand the heat😫
Did mine in early December. If you do it in summer, borrow a half-helmet from the instructor. You'll look goofy, but will be comfortable. We didn't have to wear full gear either.@@alanabryant7773
long overdue! super excited to see the future of the best bike couple!!
I can’t wait either!!🤘🏻
Congratulations!!!! Glad you took the different class....sounds like there was a "night and day" difference. Happy to hear it was fun and enjoyable compared to the first one.
Thank you so much!! Absolutely night and day!🌙☀️
Congratulations! Welcome to the family!
Thank you!!🤘🏻
Awesome!
Instructors can make a big difference in anxiety and learning.
Get out there and put on some miles! Ride safe ✌
Thank you!! I’m so stoked to ride!🤘🏻
@@KomotoVlogsTry accelerating in a straight line then breaking hard. Build up your speed and get to feel how much more stable the bike feels under power and when breaking don't surprise your tyres, once you feel the tyres starting to grip and settle increase the pressure smoothly and firmly. When you master stability and no longer pootle about and prevent the wobbly feeling you'll be much more confident in your and the bikes ability. If you ride around constantly thinking about falling off you can never enjoy motorcycling for what it is, I don't mean you have to ride balls out with your hair on fire, but it needs to become second nature to you and confidence is the key, I know you'll get there, relax and enjoy.
Awesome channel!
F*** yea!! Congrats Nina, thats amazing!🥳🥳
Thank you so much!🤘🏻
So happy for you!! I'm 51, started riding on 300 rebel May 2022....and just today bought an 1100 Rebel Dct (I have arthritis in left thumb) this very day. I did ride a shadow aero 750, which I absolutely loved...but clutching kills my thumb, and is very painful for hours, sometimes for days!
So glad you did it!!! I saw the episode when y'all got that gorgeous blue 300, I wondered if you'd continued. So very happy for you!!
I hope you are blessed with many, many years of riding!!! God bless your riding career!🎉 you've come a long way from that first day in parking lot!!! Motorcycles are the most fun!!!👏👏👏👏👏🏍💨🏍💨🏍💨
Oh, yeah just saw your name's Nina also! So double kudos, great biking and cool firstname!😄🙌
Omg another rebel Nina!? What in the twilight zone!? So cool! Congrats on your 1100, thank you for supporting and ride safe out there!!🤘🏻
Congrats Dear!! Have fun and be safe!!
Thank you!!🤘🏻
I hate that it felt like a boot camp at your HD course. My instructors were awesome. I’m glad you finally got your motorcycle license! Congratulations!!🎉 🎉
I’m starting to wonder if they were heat exhausted too! It’s all about the coaches.. and thank you so much! Ride safe🤘🏻
Yea, that's unfortunate, my HD MSF instructors were freaking awesome. They had to kick a girl out though because she just kept dropping the bike... like dozens of times. They tried their best to give her special treatment, by like extending the class almost an hour longer than usual, but it was just slowing the rest of the class too much. They didn't want to do it, they want everyone to pass.
I didn’t know you had your own channel. This is great. My wife is curious and watching your progress is showing her a real example of getting started. Thank you and enjoy your ride.
Thank you!! I hope she goes for it!!🤘🏻
Congrats Nina! It's such a great feeling isn't it?!! Happy for you!
It’s incredible!! Thank you so much!🤘🏻
Congrats!! Never stop learning.
Thank you!
Congratulations to you on getting your license
Great video congratulations on the license and achieving your dream!!!!!!!
Thanks Dom!!🤘🏻
So proud of you, it gets easier from here dont worry
Thank you!! I can’t wait to get out and ride more!🤘🏻
Congratulations and welcome to the fraternity of riders. After you learn and get over the initial fear you can ride anything. Once that “m” endorsement is on your drivers license, it will be there the rest of your life... again, congratulations.
I'm so glad I came back and to see you upload with the best news!! I"m taking the MSF course this June and I'm so excited to get that license and start on a Honda Rebel 500!!
I’m so excited for you!! Good luck!🤘🏻
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 Nina!! Great job!!!
Thank you so much!🤘🏻
congrats!!!
Thank you!!🤘🏻
Congratulations!! You deserve it!
Thank you so much!🤘🏻
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!😊🤘🏻
Congrats Nina !!!
Great video Nina !! 🤙🏽
Thank you!!😊🤘🏻
Hell yeah! Super proud of you Nina! Passed my written test on the 3rd try two weeks ago and took my Rebel 500 out on the streets a few times. It's so much fun. Looking forward to your 1st vlog taking the Rebel 300 out 🥰.
Thank you so much! And congrats! Keep crushing it :)
Jeezus, can't believe they issued you a permit. I passed it the 1st time, and I'm 64 years old. Had my learners permit so I could ride my Harley Davidson home from the private party seller 50 miles away. Those multiple choice tests are too damn easy, no wonder there's so many idiots driving on our roads.
@@feloniousmonk3049 It's actually the avacado toast that's making everyone an idiot.
That's cool 😎 congratulations on passing your motorcycle class
Congrats! I’m taking my course this weekend. 😊
Thank you! And good luck! Bring water and snacks, you’ll do great!!
Well done!!!
Thank you!🤘🏻
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!🤘🏻
Congratulations.
Congrats! Cheers!🙌
