Parking Lot Practice

[MC MUSTANG]

oRg'sters -
Some of you know that I was having a little bit of difficulty re-aquainting myself with Bessie after my summer vacation. Rolling over in a UTV while gone didn't help with the injuries to my back and shoulders - but getting back on her and being back with many of you - well - I realized that I needed to do some serious work to get back to where I had been... Anyway, so I have been doing a little work trying to increase both my comfort and skill - and today at a training even they snapped a pic that I thought I might share with you all...

Thank you sir. A great compliment to be sure!

Good pic Shawn, you cant be too far from having that knee down!

 

[MC MUSTANG]

James, that is my next target... wasn't focusing on it this go around... trying to approach each outing with a plan

So what exactly are you doing there? Did you set up some cones in a parking lot or are you redoing like an MSF course?
We were thinking about redoing our MSF for the heck of it.

Understood, you have to have a plan.

This is part of the continuing training that the Marine Corps is directing in efforts to curtail single motorcycle fatalities.

It is great training and I am surprised that more people don't take advantage of it.

The MSF courses are good - are you considering the BRC or the ERC?

We would like to do the ERC course most definitly!!

 

[BlueHaya]

I agree with you...everyone needs a refresher on basics every now and then

 

[Fastfrog007]

[DEMMYM]

Remember that task from the ERC I went to a couple months ago. The instructors seemed to split the group up wrong each time and I had a Harley in front of me and we would have to stop and wave we past and start again. It felt pretty good since I am a long way from draggin a knee.

Welcome back in the saddle Shawn..
