Ditto. I have gotten too many Basic Riders on some "Full-Tilt-Boogie" bikes and they just made a bit of a mess of the bikes and sometimes themselves.
I tell BRC students that when they get a bike, they should be actively riding for a year on that bike and be very comfortable before enrolling in the BRC2.
Any other Rider Coaches out there? At the next Rally, we can get a group photo and send it to MSF. Maybe we can write off the trip as a business expense.....
Cheers,
Steve
