I didn’t have any parking lots close to me after I took the MSF class but I do live in a quiet neighborhood. For about the first 6 weeks after the MSF course, all I did was ride up and down the street. Stop, go, shift, left turn, right turn, brake and so on. After about 6 week I felt comfortable taking the bike out into light traffic. I still remember the first time I hit 40mph!
The one thing I tell all my friends is to go soon and go often. I’ve had friends that wait a few weeks after they have taken the MSF class and they begin to forget basic concepts. Good luck out there.
