Interest? Gymkhana/Cone course
Interest? Gymkhana/Cone course
I have been kicking around the idea of setting up a slow speed cone course in a large parking lot.
I did a police motorcycle course a while back and was thinking I could recreate the slow speed cone course. I might do it for myself anyway just to do it. But thought if there was any interest I would go to the extra trouble of borrowing a ton of traffic cones, and making it a little more official.
Has anyone ever watched the youtube clips from Japan w/ the gymkhana courses? It could be fun, great for newbies and racers alike. We could time the really good guys and it could be sort of a race. And for the not so good guys it could just be a great venue to practice your skills.
Would set it up this spring. Let me know if this sounds like something you would show up to.

I have done a similar thing with the SM and it is a blast, especially with the right tires.

Re: Interest? Gymkhana/Cone course
I've been invited to do a police course with the cops at work a few times but never had the chance to do it with them. I've always wondered how I'd fare on the course with my ST versus their Hardleys.

Re: Interest? Gymkhana/Cone course
Yeah, thats the main reason I've wanted to recreate the course. When I was doing it w/ a Harley ElectraGlide, I remember thinking how much easier this would be w/ my DR650. Though now, w/ my DR650 tied up w/ sidecar duty... Should I bring my Concours or the barely plated smoker w/ knobbies?juddspaintballs wrote:I've been invited to do a police course with the cops at work a few times but never had the chance to do it with them.
