Looks like you boys are fenced in well to keep stray Newbs off the "big road". ;D

Yes, we have a fenced compound that belongs to the provincial Dept. of Motor Vehicles which the MTP avails of on the weekends ... consists of a 1.5 km outside circuit (2-lanes), a 1-way "street", one 2-way "street", 3 vacant lots, stop and yield signs. I've been told it is the best Motorcycle Training lot in Canada, as we can use the circuit and roadways within the compound to simulate traffic situations ... the other MTP lots across the country usually consist of a large empty parking lot. Our Program (which is the Canadian "Gearing Up" program) is very similar to the American MSF Course.
Here's a Google Street View of our Training Facility ... the white "shed" in the middle is where we store our fleet of Training Bikes.
