A buddy is a sheriff around here, gave me a copy of Ride Like a Pro, and has shown me some of what he does. I just found the course that the local police spray painted in a parking lot (in Framingham, MA if anyone is interested.) Jeeeeeeeez, though - I could barely make it around the OUTSIDE of some of those layouts. I thought I was much better than I really am. Then again, I'm probably good enough and there's seldom a real need to make an 18' circle, is there?

 

side street u turns come to mind. parking lot maneuvers. it is good to be able to know your limitations on the scoot.

I know, that's why I said i'd like to see a camera angle of the clutch, to shop people how much they play with it during those exercises.

 

Four at once.

Ride Like A Pro really helped me out; I highly recommend it.

 

OK, OK - I better go tape up my crash bars...!

the only thing I really remember and appreciate from my Motorcycle Safety ed course in Daytona was:

"What you see is what you hit!"

And since then I was able to ride much better... but to be able to make such steep turns needs a looot of practice!

 

I'm not taking anything away from their skills, because they're probably much better riders than I am, but they're also riding bikes that weighh 300 lbs. less than mine does. Apples to apples guys.
