Let's hope this ends well.
I've signed up to take the MSF (well, in CA it's called the MSP) course the second week of July here in San Francisco in the hopes of obtaining an M1 licence. Next Friday, I'm off to the DMV near work to take my permit test. Since I passed the online sample tests without having cracked the motorcycle handbook, I'm not terribly worried. All the same, I'm reading, reading, reading.
Would appreciate advice from y'all in whatever areas you see fit to convey. Specifically, what to expect or how to prep for the training course. I have to get gloves to take the road portion, so brand/feature recommendations would be awesome. Also, the sort of equipment I should acquire once I settle on a bike would also be nice (beyond the helmet/boots/gloves/pants bare essentials; I already have a smexy smexy jacket, thanks to stevefoxx).
::gulp:: Here goes nothing....
