Never say "CAN'T!" It just takes practice...

I think if I had 3 times the room at half the speed I and being able to put my foot down I might be able to do that lmfao
I just wonder... why is America so far behind in our vehicle training... I realize these are police and out police gets similar training... but I've seen some of the other countries doing this stuff... it's just amazing to us because we don't see it every day
people seem to be more interested in how the vehicle looks instead of how well they can drive/ride....
when I get our cc debt back under control... ... I def want to take more classes... I have no interest in racing... but want to always be the best rider I can
bike classes, shooting classes, survival classes... all on my short list of training I want....

Couldn't agree more (says the mod whore)
O but seriously yesterday was only the second time I hit some nice twisties first time this season anyhow it just pointed out how much I need to improve
Also perfecting fundamentals and taking advanced course would be nice

Don't forget, we have very bad training, and testing standards. I learned to drive in Europe (1980s) it cost a lot of money and took 3 years.
Yup and now people who fail a very simple DMV test multiple times simply have to go to a small neighboring town with virtually no traffic and lower standards. Most of those people should not be driving! But they do and they eat and do their make up while they are at it. SMH

That looks like a dream job,
firstly being taught and encouraged to ride like that:wav:
and then being allowed to ride like that out on the streets!:wav:

+1 I'd be all for that! In Scotland and most of Europe driver's ed is mandatory and not just a semester. In fact I am pretty sure they had to pay for it. Never saw an accident while I was there and 80 was legal on the highway with roundabouts and no redlight or stop signs. Full speed all the way through. Going through them here after being over there for a few years is painful. They got it right.
I can certainly respect your desire to do the classes you list there. As a child I did survival training while I was in the Rangers, I made good use of those skills while I was in the military and they still come in handy when I go camping now, though I don't get to much lately due to school. When that's done though I plan to just disappear for a few weeks into the woods though.
I got a lot of gun training as well while active duty and that is an invaluable set of tools right there but you need constant practice IMO.
As for riding and driving skills, I completely agree. Our requirements to get a license are about as laxed as they can get in my opinion. We really should do more to prepare all drivers in how to be on the road and commute responsibly and defensively. Too many people out there just don't understand how a car works and they take it for granted to a point of obscenity... The same goes for bikes.
I'm a little surprised that more places don't offer any kind of advanced driver training for cars. If they did something like that I would be far more inclined to take a vacation and do that instead of wasting my money on a hotel out of town and working my legs seeing the sights when I could be learning how to control a car better right in my local area.
Don't mind my long windedness tonight, I'm on about 3 hours sleep in the last couple days. I'm about to crash in a few until 9am though.... so I'm shooting for a good 8-9 hours sleep...
