Let us know what you think. I just bought his book the other day and started reading it. So far, I like it and it's easy to understand.

Will he be there? If so, he'll sign your copy if you bring it to class.

Yep, Lee Parks will be at this one. Thanks for the tip about the book. He'll be impressed with all the yellow-highlighting.

Still 8 spots left as of today. Check out my name on the list! :yahoo:

JB, You'll really dig this course! Using his techniques, I FINALLY got my knee pucks worn down on the track riding my DRZ Supermoto at stock suspension settings which means I REALLY had it healed over! Really cool stuff, I actually hit a stone that washed out the front wheel, but with my knee down actually held the bike up and kept on trucking. Wouldn't want to try that with my 550+lb FJR, but it was confidence building just the same. You'll never look at a 40' circle in a parking lot the same after his course.

I was supposed to take this course last weekend, but due to the snow storm it was canceled. Thankfully it has been rescheduled to May 10. There better not be any snow then...

JB, do you know the hours of the class (i.e. 9-5 or whatever)? I poked around on the website but couldn't find anything. I have tickets to a show that evening but might be interested in doing this that day if it doesn't go too late.

Looks like we have three forum members! :clapping:

The course is a lot of fun. 8 hours of recess is a pretty good description. When I took it, there were 4 FJRs on the course: mine, the instructor's (a forum member (3dogs)), and two others. Enjoy.

We had five (and our own group), and one got dropped. Sliders really slide!

Cool. Right there on the internet! But who's that guy just above you?

I hope that there will be a fully detailed and entertaining ride report afterwards JB? Looking forward to a good read.

JB - I think you're going to enjoy it.

I really did!

:yahoo:

One thing that struck me... Just because someone shows up at the class in full leathers, riding a sportbike, constantly talking about this track day or that track day or their racing experience where they won this class or that class X-number of times... That doesn't mean that they can actually ride for crap.

One other thing that struck me. The stuff in the book sounds easy to do, sounds easy in the classroom, but once you hit the range...

Oh - and all 12 of us kept the rubber side down all the time. We had 2 close calls that I saw: a guy on a 'Wing had a slow-speed brain fart and almost dropped it, and a relatively inexperienced rider forget to pull in her clutch when she put it in gear and almost dropped her little cruiser.
