Actually it is 16' in diameter. Each parking space is 8 feet wide. The only way to judge the scale is the length of the motor. The specs on this 02' Harley show it to be touch over 8 feet long. You can tell in the video that the motor takes up about half the width of the circle. We call it the "Key Hole". It's a standard Northwestern University pattern.
16'? 8 foot parking spaces would be very narrow, even for compact cars. The narrowest I've ever measured were 8-1/2' on centers, resulting in a 17' diameter circle. I'm not sure I could do the keyhole with only 17'. All the rest of the parking lot spaces had 9' on centers for 18' diameter circles and U-turns.
that's ok...it's all about practicing. Keep it up and you will eventually get it smooth and effortlessly.

I liked the brake lock at the end. Nice job. I think I'll set this one up today.

Come on...that's way too wide. That's a full two parking spots. Gotta be 20'. Cut it down to 18' for qualifying.

We call this the 180. Looks like he didn't cut it hard enough at the apex.
