Does the influx of new riders worry you?

other then the msf what other training is there? time on the bike and miles under their belt... if they have the basics, i see nothing wrong with a bunch of new riders at least they are out on two wheels, i prolly wont ride with them, but every new rider has to start somewhere

the learning curve is steep and either they learn or they dont

Around here I'm not noticeing it yet. but HOPEFULLY they'll learn before they crash and be appropriately prepared to avoid situations that put them or us at risk.

MSF is a good beginning point, but the BRC teaches pretty much the bare essentials for parking lot riding, which is good, but not very helpful when a new rider NEEDS TO KNOW how to ride safely on the street. I believe the MSF course should be altered to include in the BRC some of the more important stuff about street riding.
