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.

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!
