Hey Gunnybusa, where do you teach? I'd like to give the BRC a try.

I took it last year on my Busa....bout a week after buying it. It was definately a challenge, not to mention....the instructor told me that every Busa rider fails the first attempt.
After the course....he mentioned that I did pretty good and that he was a bit impressed with me. I was the first Busa that passed the first time around. Another Busa was there who was on his 3rd attempt.
Yeah...it gave me a big head.

See, that is what I was saying and he told me I would be counted off for not correctly positioning the bike...(Gunnybusa @ Dec. 11 2006,14:41)U turn box, it's due to the long wheel base on the old girl. Use the drop in method instead of counter weighting
He's a bonehead....thats how I did it too.(MC MUSTANG @ Dec. 11 2006,12:55)See, that is what I was saying and he told me I would be counted off for not correctly positioning the bike...(Gunnybusa @ Dec. 11 2006,14:41)U turn box, it's due to the long wheel base on the old girl.

In addition......I know it sounds crazy....but I used 2nd gear. Yes it bogged down but it was much more manageable at very slow speeds. Not so torquey or choppy.
Then he wasnt an MSF instructor. The cards say nothing other then you will lose points in the U-turn box for puting a foot down or crossing the area bounded by the lines.(MC MUSTANG @ Dec. 11 2006,12:55)See, that is what I was saying and he told me I would be counted off for not correctly positioning the bike...(Gunnybusa @ Dec. 11 2006,14:41)U turn box, it's due to the long wheel base on the old girl.

I use second gear as well when I demo it.(Devil Dog @ Dec. 11 2006,13:52)He's a bonehead....thats how I did it too.(MC MUSTANG @ Dec. 11 2006,12:55)See, that is what I was saying and he told me I would be counted off for not correctly positioning the bike...(Gunnybusa @ Dec. 11 2006,14:41)U turn box, it's due to the long wheel base on the old girl.

Why were they laughing? Because of the Busa?
Every now and then I find an empty parking lot and practice slow speed maneuvers. It helps a lot around town. +1 on 2nd gear; trying it in 1st can be masochistic!
