I think that MSF must be a prerequisite to get an M endorsement. There should be absolutely no other way. Also, British way of not permitting new riders operate heavy cruisers or even 600cc sports bikes without “doing time” on 250cc is an excellent idea.

I don’t feel right without wearing my gear and especially my helmet. Just wouldn’t want to ride without having at leas helmet, jacket and gloves.

I sort of calculated speed of the vehicle and seems like guy was going ~15mph. Usual distance between poles 75ft, pole to pole time before break check is about 5sec. I think driver in the sedan had more then enough length in between the cars.
