I'd love to take a course like that. I've taken the BMW riders advanced handling and breaking techniques course and got a lot from it. But some of the off road, mud etc
you describe sounds very challenging on a bike the size of a Road King.

Nothing worse than having to attend the funeral of a fallen brother.

Good Luck at the Top Gun Stro! Thanks for keeping us informed.

As far as the course, is there a skletch showing the dimensions of the maneuvers that you can share?
