Congratulations! I have enjoyed this thread more then any other since joining the forum in 2008. My wife rides but is not a member here so I printed out your daily's for her to read.

It inspired me to want to practice my skills more often, not just ride and I hope it does the same for her. Thank you for your service and the great write-ups.

Just because it combines so many of the different things that we had to do. It starts with an emergency brake, followed by swerves to the right and left, then a tight 90 degree right turn, then a 90 degree left, then a REALLY tight clockwise u-turn. Just a BUNCH of stuff going on in this one exercise.

Ah - I googled it after you mentioned it because I didn't know what it was. There was actually a video on Youtube, and yes it looks difficult.

Btw - you described it to a tee...

Thanks

It appears that you are not only a good motorcycle rider, and journalist but your unselfish comments and congratulations from you to your fellow classmates and especially the comments recognizing the accomplishments of the first female motor-cop in Nebraska makes you also class act. I salute you.

Great job of writing and riding, congratulations, I've enjoyed reading all your posts, that alone took a lot of work and commitment.
