Motorcycle Safety

[Arachnodisiac]

Sorry for thread-bombing you today...

I'm buying my first bike in a week or so.
I need to take a motorcycle safety course, and while I could take one at Lethbridge College, I wanted to explore other options.

Some offer the licence testing on-site at the end of the course. Some let you bring your own bike, others provide them.

I would go to Calgary if there was a course much superior to the one I have access to in Lethbridge.

Advice? Suggestions?

I've never rode before, and I want to take a course - and it also will save me half off my insurance. I just want to make sure that I get the best bang for my buck, and learn as much as I can.

Thanks as always!
