Greetings Oates,
I know what you mean, they are trying to get you into Good habits but at it seems like they are overdoing. But when you look back at the training, after you have your first close call, you'll actually be thankful. I took the MSF course, and I believe honestly that everyone should. It may feel like an annoyance but trust me when i say It's well worth listen to the repeats.
A New Bike.... That's always fun. I waitied till I finished my courses and had ridden my old bike for about a month just to get a good thought on what I wanted.
Be Safe,
Elfwolf {Tom}
