I don't know about FL, but here in MI and in other surrounding states you can take it through several different community colleges and get the course for $25

damn... it was free through Yuba Community College in CA(well other than tuition... though I don't know how much that was as they have 100% tuition assistance)... but in AK it was $250... Oregon it's about $250.... I've heard of some states being in upwards of $500...

Good point OSP. But it doesn't hurt to have them teach you the basics. A buddy of mine use to race ATVs and had trouble turning the bike for a bit until my buddy who rode streetbikes said "Push down on the bar in the direction you want to turn". Such as if you want to go left push on your left bar to help steer. I learned that too and it made a big difference. Unfortunately as soon as I got my bike my friends pretty much had to sell theirs becuase they needed money. So I got stuck riding alone then went to forums for advice and that helped even better. In the "Other Forum" I posted a thread that had a bunch of instructional videos that I think were great and helped me a ton. After watching them once my riding improved big time. I'll dig them up again and post them on here when I get a chance. For now here are the vids on another forum incase some aren't allowed to view the other one(I'll get a thread for TWFix later)... http://southeastmotorcycleforum.com/...hp?topic=135.0 OH yeah. On a Georgia forum some Florida transplants where talking about the Florida test and said it was very difficult. A guy with a 06 CBR1000rr said he couldn't do a U-turn with his bike. Even when he got off of it and walked it to demostrate the bike literally could'nt do it.
