Streetmasters Precision Cornering Workshop

[818Guy]

I attended the Streetmasters Precision Cornering Workshop class this past Saturday (9/22).

In a nutshell: what a great course. Well worth the investment in my riding ability and safety.

Anyone who is thinking about it should take it without hesitation.

My class was a bit more “challenging”. We did have a wet track in the morning as well as rain during our final exam. Which in hindsight was a good thing. I can’t think of a better way to learn my FJR than with some wet roads on a closed course.

I was the only one representin’ the FJR community. A couple of ST1300s, some Goldwings, a couple of Harleys and to my surprise 10 BMW motorcycles – most of any brand.

Only “complaint” was the ride up and back. Each way about 75 miles for me. Both were in the rain, and it was heavy at times. However, as this was my first time riding in this much rain, the FJR was rock-solid.

Ahhh-yup, several of us have done the same. It IS a great course and I always recommend it. It's been 2 years since I've taken the course and I have thought of a repeat in the Spring of '08. There are a couple of NorCal riders who have expressed interest so we might get a number of FJRs there for a class. I've already mentioned it to Jann. When I took the class it was RogDebs and I who rode down Hwy 395 from NorCal.

Does anybody know of a registry or schedule of where the courses are held?

I'd like to attend if there is one close to here in Salt Lake City.

Maybe Vegas? Would be a good excuse for a road trip!

Clicky this link for Streetmasters. Unlike Lee Parks' classes, they do not move about the country but hold their classes at Willow Springs Raceway near Lancaster, CA, about 250 miles WSW of Las Vegas. They use the "Horsethief Mile" track, a very tight and twisty track with different radii turns and interesting elevation changes.

Thanks MM2,

I am very familiar with Willow Springs, I had a few club races there in the early 80's on a 600 ninja and a Gpz 1100. This is before the streets opened or Horsethief.

Thanks for the info!
