I took the MSF course at the local community college before I ever got on a bike. No doubt, next to buying a Triumph, the best motorcycle decision I have made. Our skills test was exactly the same as the one given at the DMV. One of my instructors was a big Triumph guy.
Anyway, all 12 people passed the skills test, but the instructors were pretty honest with two of them, and reccommened they spend some "alone time" with their bikes practicing in a parking lot before heading to the street. Mainly those two guys felt real insecure with some slow speed moves and needed to build some confidence.
