Well, I just got back from the ERC and, just as I expected, I aced everything easily but the box. I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of ever passing it (at least on my bike) and I’ve resigned myself to the idea of putting my foot down if I, for some odd reason, ever need to do a U-turn in that confined of a space. I was the only sporty bike there with everyone else in full size Harleys (even some dressers), so the instructors felt the need to single me out and show me how to do things a different way for almost every exercise. Despite their instruction I still wasn’t able to handle the box without going outside the lines, and I even dropped it in the box once. I was expecting to have a good time but truthfully the only exercise where I really had any fun was the one where you practice wide 2nd gear turns where all the Harley guys seemed amazed by the fact that a bike could actually lean like that for turns.
Everyone passed except for one person who bought an Electra Glide for his first bike and was just now trying to learn to ride it. Bad move. He dropped it 4 times throughout the day and, we’re not sure how, but at the end of the day one of his speakers no longer worked.
