Totally take the BRC…there’s really no substitute for having trained instructors teach you. And unlike simply passing the items on the test, they impart loads of other very useful stuff, some of which may save you life.
I can still remember the little but super-useful things my MSF coaches told us, like why to NOT hang your helmet on the handlebars, how much pressue on the rear brake is optimal, and the entire bit on countersteering alone was worth the cost of the class (and if you doubt that, go on the majority of motorcycle forums and see the shocking amount of people who think they steer their bike by leaning it).
