The guy who scheduled me for the class was convinced I should bring my America as learning on the bike I'll be riding will be more beneficial



This guy is talking out of his ****. As a MSF instructor i can assure you, it is absolutely forbiden for a student to take the BRC on their own bike. The rules are very clear, there is a weight and a CC restriction on the bikes that may be used. For the most part you cannot use anything over 250cc, the only bike i know of bigger than 250cc that is allowed is the Buel Blast and the MSF allowed that bike purely because HD wanted to get involved and endorse the MSF.

The only cases i know of when a student is allowed to use their own bike is if the student owns a scooter and wants to learn to ride and there is not a scooter school close by.

If you were to use your bike and drop it in the course you would not have any coverage, and worse, the instructors would not be covered on the MSF insurance. You could sue the pants of them and you would win, as the MSF would turn their back on the instructors. As an instrucotr i know that no matter what injuries a student gets in my course, IF i have followed the course directions to the letter, the MSF will back me 100% in any law suit. If this was not the case i would not teach this course. I have been teaching now for nearly 10 years.

Find out who this instructor is and report him to the MSF in Irvine, CA.
