I am a MSF rider coach and I had the same problem when I started teaching classes. They say you are not supposed to be looking down but some exercises require you to stop using a cue cone and I would lose that cone in the fairing. I now know where the cones are from practice but still wasnt easy at the begining.

Yea the stopping is what put the nail in my coffin. I attempted it twice and stopped to early the first time and to late the second time. I just had no idea where to begin the stop.
i went to a 3 day weekend school becuase in MI it would lower my insurance...they gave us all 250's....easy breazy to handle the tight turns and all that
Well I spent yesterday afternoon practicing on a Honda Rebel! My dads buddy is letting borrow it. His wife no longer rides it so he said come get it. Man I feel like riding this thing is cheating!!
I passed on my Electra Glide. The only part I had trouble with was the first set of cones, they are so close together that there was no way I was going to weave through them so I missed the 3rd cone altogether. The come up to speed and stop was easy, there were also painted lines so I didnt need the cones.
My misses passed on her Fat Bob.
Good luck and congrats on taking the time to be legal.
In Arkansas I followed the examiner who was in the car in front of me giving a driving test to someone else. She just told me to follow her and she would observe me out the rearview mirror.
The irony of this story: The young new inexperienced 18 yr old can pass the test on a small bike and then has a license to go get a 100+ hp crotch rocket or 850# Ultra and go find a tree to slam.
I'm in Michigan also and endorsement was grand fathered in. Sure glad we don't have to be hassled with a yearly test. But, ya'll can have our &^#@!*^&&@damned helmet law if you want!
