Have FUN!!! Wish I was going to be there coaching, I sure do miss that track! Let me know if you have any questions about the school or riding techniques that you want answered and I'll do my best

Happy Riding!!!

I asked the wife, and she said no...
Oh well, the 2-day school is on my "always wanted to" gift list.

Hey Misti,

Given your location, will you be at The Ridge this coming July 16-17?
I can't wait, and it would be nice to meet you there.

The Hampton Inn at Leeds is awesome from every respect. Great location (2 minute drive to Barber), spotlessly clean, great free breakfast, plush beds, outstanding service, and a nice swimming pool. You can't go wrong so book early.

Im thinking about it. Im 2 hours away. I did the 2 day course last may at VIR. But Alabama in June means 100+ degrees plus more with full leathers...

I just signed up for the March 2 day camp in Las Vegas. Camp cost is $2350, but includes the bike and all safety gear. So, I just had to add airfare and hotel. Puts the whole thing around $3k. I was going to buy a new exhaust system but I figured the best way to get more performance out of the bike was to spend the money on rider improvement.

agreed, this bike is way beyond me already, and it'd be better for me to improve the rider, not the ride. that's a bucket of money, but i'm sure would be well worth it. March is coming quick, and i'm still waiting to see who the Bob's cut now that the new owners are taking over. thanks, have to keep these in mind...
