when I did my motorcycle license lessons I had to ride around three islands in a boat launching parking bay.
The three islands were configured so I needed to do almost 180 degrees around them then head to the next one, fang around it then onto the next one. The little course was shaped like a 3 leaf clover only a bit oblong. It was used to teach riders how to shift their weight into corners and initiate the turn in. Maybe you could find a bank of islands to use as a mini test track

This is the US term for the shape that on/off ramps make as they link with a highway. They typically tighten further into their radius and are a good challenge to take at increasing speed!

A clover leaf is a freakin huge traffic exchange area on the freeway about .75 km x .75 km in area or less.....

Ahh..now I get it, and here was I thinking matt was just trying to be funny

Cloverleaf actually meant something.

We have a few freeway/highway on/off ramps that spiral down, the geelong rd freeway ramps onto kingsway are rippers in Melbourne. Also the on ramp to the metro ring road to hume hwy is actually a banked corner! - neither are going to meet my purposes I think.

That g-tech meter works pretty good. I read good reviews in several magazines.
I don't use it much because of two reasons. Number 1, I'm constantly staring at the damn thing when it's in the car and I've almost stacked it several times. Something about driving flat-out and not looking at the road
Number 2, it's harder than it seems to find a flat, straight, +1/4 mile length if road to test on. You have to stop in the middle of the street, set the meter, then drive full blast and hope no one calls the cops.

Anyways, apparently you can also set this thing sideways on your dash and measure cornering g's.
ps- I have the first model g-tech not the new and improved.
