Wife and I thought we'd share the following...we spent an afternoon some time ago and got the dimensions from our local DMV Motorcycle Test Course. We then painted same at an abandoned parking lot near our home. Perhaps you can do to same...I've used it, my wife, two of my son's friends and whomever goes up there to practice. We opted to paint by brush and now have access to a paint striper unit that we can borrow...will need to be touched up soon.

We still go up there to practice...we've added a dead stop 90 degree turn (U-turn) to our drills.

How cool! Everyone should have a disused parking lot

The cracking tarmac looks like it might get a bit dangerous eventually.

The test varies by state, but each one should have its course available online or in some pamphlet somewhere.

You could try this:

Its not necessarily your states DMV test, but I'm sure this is what they use nation wide for the MSF. I'm sure there are some similarities.

Very cool! What an excellent use of wasted space - keeping riders up on their two wheels

The cracks are not that bad...on occasion I have to bring a push broom and remove the loose gravel. It's also due for a refresh...will use a striping unit that I can borrow.

I believe there are folks that use this that we are unaware of.
