(And just to let you know, one of the instructors showed us how to do it with his 1800 cc Goldwing showoff! :biker: lol) If you have any experience you should be fine. I had no experience, and did it on the advanced part my 3rd time. Anyway, good luck!

Thanks all I know they will push me out of my comfort zone and that is to be expted and that the worst that can happen is i blow a turn but i guess i'm still have some reserves. I think i can handle it but the added pressure is i can't ride my bike (per the army) untill i complete the course. Of course that hasn't stoped me yet 1400 miles and counting but i would like to not have to hide it LOL. I was scheduled for tommrow but i have to take my son to the doc tommrow and get a ultra sound and upper GI done on him to check some issues out. So I had to put it off at least one more week but familey comes first. The instructor I spoke with when i enroled in the course after he put me in the ERC kinda back peddled and was almost trying to scare me in a way by talking about some of the techniques used and what not. I know all of what i have learned have been self tought except for what i have read on line and in my owners man and have tried my best to apply it. All-in-all I know that if i fail it i could just take it again but i don't want to have to do it twice considering its 1 1/2 hrs drive one way to there. Not to bad of a ride though ;) thanks again

Well thanks to every one about your comments. I passed it with no problems. I did have to do the swerve and 175 degree turn two times because I wasn't going the right speed don't know if I was going to fast or slow. The biggest thing I had a problem with was the one handed off-set cone weave. Thanks again all!!!
