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!

Late,

Stay strong...your doing great.

I've been through the Basic, Advance and Instructor MSF Course and wish I could go through the LE course.

Learn as much as you can and hang in there.

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.

I went through the MSF Ridercoach class last spring too. Can't get too much practice!
