They should be able to teach you that in the course, if not do a track day.

Its easy, i just jam it into my helmet and pull it out at redlights and whenever its possible. Long straight aways are ideal as u can keep it in 5th or 6th and text away!! EASYYY!!
 
This guy will teach you..

When you are in the back seat riding biatch.
 
I scream really loud... *SIRI Text mom!" wait about 10 seconds then scream really loud "Mom I hit a dear! can you come pick me up?"
 
Easy. Tap the headset, wait for the phone to say "Yes?", tell it to text whomever, whatever I want, wait a sec for it to confirm, say "Send", Done. Resume rocking out :headbang:

Welcome!
 
Same way you do when your driving. With your hands. Just try not to spill your beer.

Thanks for the offer, but getting from Guelph to Downtown T.O. taking only back roads (M1 restrictions) would take 3 hours, then another 3 hours back. Wife would be less than thrilled.

That one made me lol.

So finished the inclass last night, all good. Today did the first day of bike riding....they really need to make regulations tougher to get your M1....all of us were/are $#!T riders. That said, I did manage to get the foot pegs to drag on the ground while leaning a few times. CBR125 is actally quite fun.
 
You could get a RAM mount for your handlebars to mount the phone on. Then it'll be easier to manage one handed. :)

The course I did was a joke, everyone passed, even the woman who let the bike get away from her day one and who couldn't do most of the stuff on day 2 without putting a foot down. My stepdad did the same course, different day and he said he had a couple people that shouldn't have passed as well, and all did. some old co-workers said they never heard of anyone failing...
 
I got my GS500F 2008 3 months back. Give me a shout if you have any plans for MODS, riding etc. Infact i think we should have a GS500 only ride some day.

The course is a joke because what's needed to pass is a joke. There was one lady that didn't pass the test, but there were at least 5 others that should have failed as well. It baffles me that anyone can write an easy $17.50 test, buy a litre on their way home, and kill themselves within one minute of leaving the dealership. Although it wasn't difficult, that class should be the minimum requirement to get an M1, let alone an M2.
