Touching hard parts

[CMCOFFEY]

I am on my lunch break for the MSF ERC. I am surrounded by Harleys. I am the only touring bike. Showing these guys how to turn. Sweeping left hander put my floorboard down. They were all shocked to see me do the figure 8 inside the box.

 

Some of these guys are having issues keeping their sportsters in the lines.

Me thinks its Experienced Rider Course. but yea folks thats rode before. I'm thinking I really need to go back to a brush up course. I haven't been since I was teaching it like 30 yr ago.

Several years(15 or so) ago I took the experienced rider course with a friend, at his insistence. During the classroom phase where you look at 6 seconds of video and then 30 seconds later the instructor ask what you saw, I found a threat no one else had seen.

It was a car sitting at a stop sign, totally hidden except for a corner of the roof by a car on same street as we were supposed to be. Instructor said I was wrong, there was no car there. Being bull headed as I am I insisted he play the video again and again. On the third repeat he stopped it and lay his pointing stick and remote down and announced "I quit", I been teaching this class for 3 years with this video and no one, including myself have ever seen this car sitting there until now. We all cheered, and he picked up his stuff and continued

After many years of riding in the 70's-80's in the Hudson Valley of NY I moved to Florida and quit riding. almost 30 years later, I got back on the steel horse. I instantly took an advanced rider course and realized how much this self taught rider didn't know. Sure was embarrassed laying my Road Star down twice during the class. That was a well invested $100.
