Default Parking lot practice


My local HOG chapter (Daytona) has monthly PLP sessions. As a new a
owner of an Electra Glide I gave it a try. Those guys were great. Patient, knowledgeable and supportive. My low speed handling confidence is greatly improved.

Thanks group

That's vook6. I'm amazed at the police drills in Indiana, slow and low to the ground.

Slow drills on a trike must be a real beotch.

Was wondering about that myself.

Our local dealership does it once a month, there is another group that does it every Sunday morning at a local Govt center parking lot.


Recently after taking an intermediate riders course, myself and a few other Legion Riders have marked our post parking lot with some black spray paint dots where the cones go and set up a course once a month after our meetings. Nothing real fancy just the basic slalom, figure 8 and circles. But it's good to practice the slow speed handling.

Easy, it's all brake, clutch, throttle coordination and head, eye placement.
Basic training for motors.
