Parkinglot practice

[Mr Lefty]

I dunno... the site I got it from said it was drills used in the european DL test... didn't even look at the name in the link...

either way... good info... think I may try a few of these when I get home to help brush up my riding skills again...

I'd try some practice using the MSF course layout first. Those are high skill level practice and demo manuvers used by Motorcycle cops for competition and skill enhancement. If you saw Nee's post about JSO motorcycle drill team, then you will understand. Those aren't manuvers "most" sportbikes will be able to pull off without alot of practice.

Actually thats my fault. I thought she posted them up on here. I'll have to get her to do that tonight. The JSO motorcycle drill team is flat out bad ass.

If it's been awhile since you've ridden, you may even want to think about taking the Basic MSF class again. If not that look into doing the ERC MSF class. The ERC is a one day class that you do on your own bike. It's basically alot of the exercises from day 2 of the Basic class. But done on your own bike.

Either one will be a great refresher for someone who hasn't ridden in sometime.

I won't have time to do the ERC... I've only got about a little over a week from when I touch down to when I'm heading out... and all of that time is gonna be spent going over my bike make'n sure it's ready...

Every ERC I've seen is another 3 days... or at least they are where I can get them free... which is on base... and being that I'm not stationed in ND, I don't think I can get in the class... I do have my book though... and other than cleaning my chain and change'n the oil the bike won't be "down" so I'll be practicing nightly

They don't offer any on the "bases" in Fargo FYI.

I can show you where the MSF class is held in Fargo and you can practice there, or we can go over to Moorhead and I'll show you where the MN motorcycle test is given...
Either place is always set up.

sounds good... not worried too much... but would like to brush up...

Nah, just ride it. It'll all come back to you.
