Central Eastbay beginner rider training?

[EastBayDave]

My son suddenly & w/o warning mentions he'd like to try riding; so now I have to come up w/some beginner rider training available locally.

Who/what are you'all aware of in the Central Eastbay? We are San Lorenzo based here....

How old is he? I took the cmsp in hayward it used to be at the adult school but now its at southland by macy's. It helped me quite a bit considering I haven't rode in years and when I did i only used one with a clutch a hand full of times.

He's 21 & got his permit about a year ago. Going for his license @ DMV this week (I think.) He's been considering the prices of cars vs. bikes in all costs (insurance too), & figured out it's much cheaper to ride a bike.

I've committed to giving him my ZRX once he's had a couple years on a middleweight if he does not get creamed by a car or bailed on his own (I've got my eye on the newer z900rs.)

He ain't going anywhere w/o some kind of training. I put me foot down on that one; gotta get some training if I can't train him...

That's a nice bike one of the guys I see alot up on grizzly peak rips on one. To start with id say probably do the cmsp basic and then maybe intermediate

The MSF hasn't been involved in the California Motorcyclist Safety Program for almost 4 years now. The program is now administered by Total Control.

This is the class I took, and I recommend it. They did a good job and provided excellent feedback to the riders, both good and bad.
