...and thought it was quite worthwhile, even if I was told to slow down in the cornering exercises because I was using a "lot of lean angle" (pshaw...wasn't even scraping anything).
For those of you who haven't done it, it's similar to the BRC, with less pre-riding chitchat but a lot of the same exercises. I enjoyed it a bunch, even though we got a bit wet during a couple of exercises (and as much fun as riding in the wet can be, I'd rather be dry). I got to work on stuff I already knew but don't always do (particularly head turn and looking through turns), stuff that's probably good to practice but outside of what I usually work on (low-speed maneuverability, where I felt like I was cheating in a class full of Road Kings and other similar-sized bikes), and have a little fun scaring the instructors in cornering practice.
The highlight of my day was actually an error on my part, combined with a good recovery--I locked my front wheel in the emergency braking portion of the skills evaluation but recovered and still stopped, upright, four feet short of the required distance to not loose points.
So for those of you in Vermont who haven't done so already, check the schedule and find an ERC-Skills Plus class to sign up for; if you're not in Vermont, check into your state's offerings. It's not as fun as a trackday, but I'd have to say it's still good practice of a type I don't think most of us do often. The one caveat: they do check paperwork and inspections stickers at the start of class, so your bike needs to be fully legal.
