Anyone attended Northwest Motorcycle School - Ride like a Cop?

I plan on doing the four day training in June. Looks like what Jerry Palladino (Ride like a Pro) is doing but extended to four days.

Curious if anyone has any experience from their training.

Not at that school but right now I am in Troy, MI, at this training:  http://www.msumotorcycletraining.com/
Taught by police motor officers.  This is the third of four days for the basic civilian course and I can say that it is light years ahead of anything MSF offers.  18 foot turn boxes, straight line cone weave set 12 feet apart, 90 degree pullouts into a 5 foot lane, 30mph evade (swerve), brake and then escape by making two 90 degree turns in a 5 foot lane just to mention a few.  Well you get the idea.  My azz is whipped!  But glad I am taking it.  I have learned a lot.  But rent a bike if you can (I did).  Only dropped it 3 times but glad not on my motor.

Anyone near here I would highly recommend this school.  I drove 750 miles to get here.  Some students from as far away as Texas and Toronto.
