So after a few monetary setbacks, I am finally scheduled with TMCC for the Rider Course. Sept 24th-26th. Instructors Nolte & O'Connel, any tips from some of the more experienced folk?

I honestly haven't heard much about the TMCC course. If you don't mind getting back to us, I'd like to know what you thought about it and how you liked it.

And I would agree with Scott. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Your paying for the class so take advantage and make it work for you as best as you can.

Well all my experience is on the dirt, so I took a big shot to the ego failing the DMV course on a friends bike. It was a real wake up call that I was not ready for the street yet. I will be keeping a note pad handy for any questions I can think of.

I personally know Ed Nolte, he is a great guy and very helpful. You'll do fine.

If I had one advise to give anybody whom is a new rider: LOOK THROUGH YOUR TURNS WITH YOUR HEAD UP.

I appreciate all the info and support. I suppose this is more of a question for TMCC, but on the confirmation paperwork it gives me conflicting information. One section says that the first day (Friday night) is at the Army National Guard and the next section says it is at the Dandini Campus. Any ideas?

No clue. I'd call them and ask them to clarify.

Ok, so first night is at TMCC, then the following days are at the Army National Guard in Stead. Chomping at the bit now
