The Dreaded MSF "Box"
Here is me last week on the MSF range with my Dyna. No, I didn't practice, I just rode it. How many of you riders have re~visited the range with your Harley?
I took my first ARC 2 years ago, then took the BRC last May, then became a ridercoach in June. Now, I ride lot of smaller bikes on the range (in front of student riders.)
In comparison, I went back to where I took my DMV riding test in 1976...
Kinda the same except there's a larger penalty for blowing it...

Inside the 20' box. Nicely done!
Did you know the "S" turn is EXACTLY the same turn as the box, sizewise?
I see you start your first turn with the clutch in, but then modulate it during the remainder of the turn.
My SO says "Impressive! Tell him to forget the butt shift on the U-turns. It's not needed for novices and not included in the RCP or cards anywhere. You can lean to the outside with your upper body only, and/or weight the outside peg/floorboard." Yeah, she's a RiderCoach as well.

The ABATE course is done on the local High School parking lot, 1 block from my house. I go out and use it when they are done every year. Just to keep sharp.

You can also tighten it up by counter balancing as well. It's refreshing to see someone working on their skills.
