So I had zero experience riding anything besides a bicycle. We get there to the lot, suit up, hop on the bikes and the instructors are basically like:“alright guys, start swerving through these cones and shit”Dude I didn’t even realize there was a rear brake until the 4th hour of riding. I crashed twice. I stalled the bike 5 times. I almost hit someone. I was struggling a lot.Everyone else there (about 8 other riders) all seemed to know exactly what they were doing and I just couldn’t handle the courses. It was really embarrassing.After about 4 hours of me hanging on for dear life trying to complete these courses of swerving through cones, wide turns, switching gears, using clutch and rear break....One of the instructors approached me and politely told me I was likely endangering myself by how i was riding.Obviously I respected his opinion and agreed. I didn’t want to hurt myself or anyone else. I left after four hours of riding in complete shame and disappointment....I usually excel at new concepts especially physical ones, but I was just off. It was to hard for me. So where do I go from here? I honestly feel like I did make progress.My main issue is I would completely lose control of the throttle at times. Sometimes my wrist seemed to just pull it randomly and of course this led to me mashing the front break and stalling the bike like an idiot. I’m pretty hard on myself about it and I’m not failing this course again. So I just came here to get it off my chest and ask for any advice. Thanks for reading.Tl:dr I was asked to leave the MSF because I was constantly losing control of the bike. I’m embarrassed but I want to try again. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/bu2dqf/i_failed_my_msf_horribly_i_was_asked_to_leave_it/?utm_source=ifttt
