Mark, put me down.  It takes place on a Saturday morning before I go to work, so it works out great.  Thanks.

I just wanted to say thanks to Sparks (Mark) for arranging this safety course for us.  Had a good lesson on handling the bike from a safety aspect.  Reinforced somethings and learn a couple of new ones.  We had eleven riders.  You could call this group the STAR class.  Glad to see the women ride so well too.  Good for them.  Turns out the cool day was a blessing because if it was a hot one, we surely would have roosted on the idling engines most of the time.  The two instructors were excellent. 

To anyone, in the future, if you have the opportunity to take this course, I would recommend that you do. 

Again, thanks Mark.
