Who teachs FJR riding?

[87Doodle]

I did some searchs

"advanced riding"

+learn+to+ride

and a couple others....and I didn't find a solution, although I got a ton of good stuff to read.

I've been riding cruisers for along time, but I had a motorcycle before I had a car, so I've got a lot of riding experience, and I am competant in counter steering, emergency stopping, the MSF stuff.

I've got about 800 miles on my FJR, and I've been getting to know her , and riding properly " Yoda Riding".

As a result I've been gaining confidence to start living between 5,000- 8,000 in third gear on the local twisties , but I feel the bike has FAR more potential then I'm able to exploit with my current skill level.

Here's my question: Other than videos and how -to-books, which are good to a point,

is there a school or a individual that can really teach me to RIDE the FJR, or a track I can go to to ride in New England?

I'm sure I will learn on my own to a point by trial and error, however I would prefer more trial and less error, and a teacher could help a great deal.

Thanks.

I figured out what FJR stood for as I was coming out of a curve and ran it to redline today

I'm going to sign up for the Sept. 8 class in Troy, NY.

Anybody else want to ride up?

I learned an important piece of information in a strategic riders course I took. They told me to never go past 80% of my riding ability. The more time you put in to riding the FJR the more your 80% will increase.

I'm signing up for the Fredricksburg MD class. It's about a six hour ride for me from NC. Why don't you ride down?

It sounds real good but how do you know when you're at 80%? Is my 05 missing a meter or something? :blink:

Isn't there a self-professed riding God lying around somewhere? JWAD probably has some useful info for you

Ride your own ride. Read David Hough's 'Proficient Motorcycling' books, and just do what he says.

.....and have fun, and stay safe.

Sounds great. I'm a schoolteacher and the course falls on a very busy time of yesar for me , so I'm lucky to ride 90 min to Troy, NY , spend the day there, and back.
