A spray bottle is handy to cool off.

Ifound that having a water bottle or gatorade bottle filled half way and frozen helped me on the 2 days that i took my class in the am at 70 degrees humid and getting hotter as the morning went on. You can also get a neck cooler to keep you cool they work great.

Practice your turns and stay cool.
Take cool drinks as well as keep
an open mind. Listen to the instructors
advice. Like someone else said, follow
your eyes, look to where you want to go.
When I took my course, it was 2 days, 1/2
days of class and 1/2 days of riding and
practicing. It had been cool and of course
day of my test, 80 and full sun all day. Be
prepared for anything.
In my class anyone that dropped their bike,
failed the class. No one dropped during the
testing process. We had a guy drop his crotch
rocket during practice though. Glad it wasn't
during the actual test.
Relax and your going to do well.
for good luck,, kim

I took the course 3 years ago after a 40 year layoff from riding.  In Ohio, we weren't allowed to use our own bikes; we had to use what they provided.  Actually I was glad, the little Honda Rebel was easier to handle.  Sure, an S40 isn't much bigger, but that figure 8 was easier on the Rebel.

If they allow 3/4 open face helmets, try to borrow one to stay cooler.  Full face isn't needed for parking lot riding.  Same for the gloves - our course allowed any, and I used my bicycle gloves to stay cooler, since they are basically a mesh glove.  I tried to get them to let me wear a bicycling helmet, since you're going about the same speed as a cyclist goes, but they wouldn't let me do that.  That would make sense, but when did sense have anytihng to do with the requirements of some state program?

Head up is the key to all of the maneuvers - don't look at the ground, look where you want to go, just like riding a bicycle - look thru the curves and you'll go where you're looking.

I did learn a lot and am glad I took the course.

Keep in mind this is a learning experience first. The instructors are there to teach you essential skills for safe riding. Be open minded and absorb all you can. They will certainly test your skills, but usually only when they think you are ready. You already have a leg up over many riders in the classes and should not feel intimidated.
Good luck and show them how that S40 shines!
