Stro...great post!!! I've enjoyed reading it and look forward to more.
I consider myself lucky to be able to practice with our motor unit on a regular basis. Plus the Sgt. over our motor's unit is an instructor for Ride Like a Pro...it's amazing what those guys can do! We ride together on a regular basis and he makes me want to puke with some of the manuevers...I'm good trying them on a course with cones but not gonna push it when property is at stake!!!!
Good luck and looking forward to reading your posts!

I forgot to mention...we had an opportunity to test ABS against non-ABS bikes today. In a straight line, stopping distance was considerably shorter every time for the bikes without ABS, as long as you didn't lock up a tire. Take it for what it's worth, not looking to start an ABS debate. This was also on nice dry pavement.
