Took the brc a year and a half ago, been on a road trip from south Fla to Eastern KY and back, afterwards I was starting to feel almost "seasoned" However, a couple of months ago I saw a woman on a bike the same as mine (honda vtx 1300 r) pull off the most accomplished U turn Ive ever seen, I knew I want to do that!! when I asked around where I could go to learn I was told ERC," they will teach the technical part and the rest is up to you, practice, practice, practice." So guess what I'm getting for xmas? If you can, go to the class it'll only help make you better at what you do.

Took the BRC in February (twice) Failed with -28 points. Took it the following weekend and passed with only minus 3 points (put my foot down in the box)
Took the ERC in June and passed however, the instructor dropped his wifes bike. Everyone in our class passed. It was held by Fort Hood on the military reservation.
I did fine on all of the manuvers except the swerve. I actually down shifted when you are supposed to speed up. Learned a good lesson.
We only had three or four manuvers at the ERC many less than at the BRC.
One of our class members who rode sensibly all day was riding back to the main part of post to get his diploma when he decided to ride at over 80 MPH. All day he was doing well, but has a few minutes to himself and stupidity takes over.

It's easy.
Actually it is the SECOND day's range portion only - with a changeup or two. What is cool is you take it on your own bike.

"Cool is relative" (he says, having just finished applying the touch up paint to the bike boo boos earned during the ERC)
