Hi Mark, It was nice meeting you, too. As I mentioned Sunday, I was motorcycleless for 21 years before buying my bumblebee last August and really enjoyed the Advanced Rider Course. Here's a link to the TX locations. http://nm.msf-usa.org/msf/ridercourses.aspx?state=TXHope to ride with you soon, DFG

Anyone have any experience with the Advanced Rider's course and a darkside tire. The place I'd go here does an inspection and my fear is that the inspectors will freak out before I can even prove to them that it totally rocks...

Drew, at the risk of hijacking the thread, I also took it with darkside tire several years back and had no issue.
Mark, great meeting you and welcome to the club. I know you have to work Thursday night, but the rides will be posted on the calendar and we meet the 2nd Thursday of each month so hope to see you on the roads and at the dinner table.

A group of us took the Advanced course a couple of years ago and Subman was running Darkside. The instructors were not in favor of the car tire but Terry had the tightest turns of anyone that day, so that proved the instructors wrong.
