If you're going to take a class then check out

This is the company that does most of the motorcycle classes in the US and offers classes in almost all states. It's $150 for the beginners class which is a 3 day (Fri-Sun) class. They start offering classes at the end of March and they go all the way through October. Be warned though they are small classes (around 10 people) and they are very popular. MSF recommends you schedule 4-6 months in advance. A guy from work took the beginners class back in Sept and he said he had to wait 8 months as all the other classes was full. I'm wanting to take the class as well and learn how to ride but all the classes here are already booked until Aug.
