Has anyone failed Motorcycle Safety Course?

Good luck on the course.

One thing not mentioned is invest in worthwhile gear. Ask yourself, what your head is worth. Then do that for the rest of your body. I've seen folks ride with mechanics gloves and after a nice low side the result is hamburger for a hand.

Good point! Also, realize that jeans will do absolutely nothing for you in a crash. If you go down at 35 mph for example, your jeans will last for about 5 feet of your slide. Gear up!
