Edit: Sorry all! It was just technical difficulties showing that my request was denied. It wasn't really. There were IT issues. All is well!

Hi all. I passed my MSF class several weeks ago and have my new license with the endorsement. I am in my 30s, female, and purchased a 2017 Honda Rebel 300. I have never been in an accident or made an insurance claim.

My insurance carrier is Progressive and they are flat out refusing to insure me. It's weird because I've read a lot of people online using them.

What gives? I'm not in a high risk demographic to my knowledge, am a safe driver, and did not purchase a sport bike or one with a lot of horsepower. Anyone else run into this? Is it because of the age of my bike maybe??

Hey all. I had a really weird period recently and I started a new medication around a similar time. Decided to make a doc appointment to see if the two were related. My period ended up "normal" again after that and the doc think it is unlikely to be related.

I said that I always (or at least for many years now) get spotting around the time of presumed ovulation, especially if I'm exercising. I always read that this was normal and nothing to be concerned about. The doc tried to tell me that it wasn't normal.

They found a small polyp a little over a centimeter. The doc is heavily recommending removal instead of monitoring. But idk I'm just reading conflicting things online. I've always thought what I experience (outside of the one weird period) was normal, but the doc was trying to say that I was wrong.

Any experience on this? I'd love to just run off to a second opinion, but it's not that easy to just find another doctor and get another exam. Apparently if I want the removal, I need to have 3 separate appointments, so it's not that easy to schedule around my work.

Thanks all.

Hi all. I took the MSF initially a while ago. The company I took it with wasn't overly hands on and my instructor didn't give much advice, as everyone there was already very adept. They also technically said I could retake the test, but they refused to let me schedule it ahead of time...I was just supposed to wait for an opening the night before and call.

Second time around was a while after, but I went with Harley. My God, the experience with the instructors was night and day. They actually seemed to care and give advice when you wanted it. I felt so much more comfortable, but I still couldn't do a tight u turn. About half of my class failed.

Third time was with Harley again. They actually let me schedule a retake, unlike the other class! I did great in all the exercises, but I still can't make the damn tight u turn. BUT I learned that you should either put your foot down OR ride outside of the box, not both. I didn't know this part before. Still wasn't able to make the turn...drove outside of the box but everything else was perfect.

With being told how the points work up front, my class today all managed to pass this time! Only one person was able to make the u turn tho unfortunately. Sucks. Something I def need to practice. It's hard. But I'm happy that I can legally practice. :) Just gotta wait for the DMV to process stuff. I've got some nice parking lots across the street and down the block that I can use!

A random question...what's the best way to prevent my glasses fogging when riding? I know you can get a pinlock for the helmet itself, but it's my glasses that fog instead of the helmet...even when it's not very cold.
