I went to the superbike school here in AZ, @ firebird on Feb. 27th. It was great! I learnt alot. Lots of things to think about and practice.
Keith Code was very cool, I was impressed by that fact that he taught the majority of our classes. I thought he would just maybe be hanging around if there @ all. Nice surprise. Here's a few pics.

I was really impressed with the Kawi 636, it is funny how that little bastard revs.

This guy really impressed me, he has a genetic defect resulting in both of his arms being 1/2 the size with only 3 fingers on each one. He could ride very well though. Kudos to him for his dedication and skills.

Hey dr.r1!

I have been looking into this school.

I take you got the standard format at $595 since your on the 636.

Can you give me your overall opinion on this school? Was it worth the money? Did you go into with hardly any track experience?

I am from Ohio and I am going to start looking into taking the class at Mid Ohio.

Thanks

I thought it was worth the time and money. It went over basics and essentials for riding corners. They have 20-25 minutes of class, off track work and track time in between. I got 5 track sessions and got to practice what they went over.

Yeah, I rented their bike. I really enjoyed the 636, it was a blast to ride. If I took part 2 I would probably take my own bike though.

I have done a few track days and been riding canyons hard for a few years. I have riden a bike for about 10 years otherwise. I figure whatever level you are it is worth it.

Hope that helps.
