Jumped in with both feet **pics

I've been curious to attend Northwest Motorcycle School in Washington / Oregon for awhile now. A graduate from Roadcraft Motorcycle Academy in Canada accompanied me down to preview the course on Day 3 of 4.

During a break I asked if I could try the course on the ST. If there was difficulty I would seriously consider the course. I was warned I would drop the bike and I was liable.

Drop it? nah, I would just blow a pattern... or so I thought.

18 x 18 intersection partially setup. Assuming reference points.



Uh oh.



Timberrr...



Argh



Damage report!



And that's why you don't use your own bike to try a police course without warming up in front of people that take pictures :p

First drop was trying low speed turns weighting a lowered peg, second was moving a cone with a foot while sitting on the bike, third was trying to do wider dimensions with one hand...

Awesome pics!! I just took an ARC and just about did the same thing. I have a 1" X 1" patch of missing leather on my right boot from something similar, but kudos to you for trying!!
