    If he wasn't too quick, I could probably hit him...

    Would be nice to know more about the exercise. Don't hit the pedestrian of course.

    But, 90 degree turn or down a lane on right or left?

    Nice radar sign... Don't have one handy.

    There are three lanes. The middle is closed. The instructor will signal left/right or stop. You must swerve the motor without using upper body movement. Nor cover the brake and must me under power, no coasting or rolling off. That is a fail. Speeds need to be 38 to 42 mph for a pass.

    When I took the Experienced Rider Course from MSF, they had a similar set up. I need to do that again. While you can practice these on your own in a parking lot, it's a little different when someone is up there telling you to go left, right or stop. It keeps you on your toes--so to speak.

    Its called M/X:)

    Those of us riding dirt all our lives have more of this than a lifetime of obstacle courses. On trails we have much practice that crosses over to pavement. THIS is great time spent for anybody less travelled and not brought up on dirt. Actually, its really cool for anybody to shake rust off too. Any schooling is better than no schooling, yep.
