FTR, not all states allow the insurance discounts for MSF or Drivers Ed, and I still couldnt ride a box if you held a gun to my head, and Ive been riding a few years now. (I think I can still do everything else I learned, but the box kicks my ass. ![]() |

Good discussion which is al I wanted anyway. The discount No Worries received made it a moot point for him I'm sure.

it's a 20' x 60' rectangle that you have to ride a figure 8 in. Two consecutive U turns in either direction.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDspJm3OPpw He actually uses the dotted line, which makes the box 24' x 60'. We use those dimensions first when practicing. In the evaluation the 20' x 60' box is used.

Where do you MSF instructors feel that the box comes into play on the street in the real world? So a guy/girl can ride the hell out of a bike in the box, there are not any boxes where I ride

Clutch control, braking control, body position, proper steering, rider comfort with the bike, confidence in performing slow speed maneuvers, skill performing u-turns......
