It's like having to parallel park a dump truck, vs a economy car... both drivers could be equally skilled, but one guy showed up with the wrong tool.
And yes the MSF course is low speed, but it's also instructional. To get my license, I literally had to weave some cones, turn around in two parking spots, and stop in a box. Ridiculously easy... I do like what FL's doing... you get your license after the MSF course... so you are at least exposed to proper riding techniques.

You should show up on the bike you are going to ride. If the guy can't navigate his 9 ton piece of shit, tough shit, get a bike you can ride.
