I posted the iron cross under the no brake exercise. Our iron cross aka intersection is 18 foot circle............

First, I freely acknowledge I am not normal.
Second, I have a five lane road close to my house which has minimal traffic on it.
Third, lane markers work very well as a substitute for those cones.
I do the 30 MPH weave regularly. Reminds me of the old "lane one", "lane three" training in the cars.

OK John - if you're going to wet member's appetite for some unique maneuvering, show the Intersection and the 360 (17' diameter)!
Those were two of my favorites, which I accomplished with H-D RoadKings - not the shorter wheel-base RT's that are becoming more prevalent.
BWAHAHAHAHA try that road king in a cone problem built for the Kawasaki.....

That assumes each leg of the "intersection cone problem" is the same size. The ones I trained in had a different length for each leg. Kinda skews the "iron cross" scrub marks on the pavement.

Interesting. When I trained (2000), each 'leg' of the intersection was identical in length. Varying that distance is a challenging modification to the original template, and forces the student-officer to analyze parameters and front tire placement quicker.
I like it.

Just poking fun at myself. Good for keeping the ego in check every now and then.
Dang - hard to read any inflection into internet posting. Not a perfect system of comunication, for sure. Perhaps not even an evolutionary advance either, though talking like that can get you pummeled by this "electronic generation."
All in good fun - ride safe and often - that's how you get better.

Interesting set of threads
I do look forward to getting the bike out again.
I am so much looking to go to a nearby commuter train parking lot on the forst available Sunday, when i know it is deserted and do some practices.
Hope everyone does a bit of new season practices before our serious rides. I know i will.
