Nice thread!
I think my bike misses that kind of a workout.......
I have the RLAP, understand the theories, and try to do some of the slow speed stuff, but I REALLY need to set up some cones and try things out.
Wish I had someone to practice with though...

I just wish I could take that course.......and would be thrilled to be doing as well as you are. Good job, I couldn't wait to get back today and see Day 6.

Is there any literature that explains the deeper details of cone riding and so forth?

Default I'll bet your reports a very thourough too.

Thank you for this story or your progress. Too me it's been like a Clancy book that I can't wait to pick up and read again. Some of your points I have written down and will ask my buddy who's a motor guy in the RCMP for some tips. I'm still trying to understand what 'the intersection' layout must look like and the 'reverse weave' I think you called it. It's too bad they didn't take this much time for our driving course way back when.....
Sounds like your a good and even tempered guy. Hope to meet you on the road some day.

Who knows, Stro, maybe you're the next Joseph Wambaugh.

LOL, I doubt it! I don't have the imagination for it!

Hey Watchguy, I'll try to snap a pic of the layout of some of the exercises, hopefully you'll be able to get a feel for them.

Early on in this thread someone mentioned a handout that member "motorlessons" has distributed. I haven't seen it but am curious too.
