Hey there everyone,
As you can see by my only one post, I'm new lol.(I will update my profile soon, right now at work) I haven't signed up for the school yet but I certainly plan to before September 13th. Just to give a brief (or as brief as I can) introduction about myself. I am a *cough* 30 something year old rider in Bakersfield. I've been riding sports bikes for couple of years now, but originally started back when I was 18. The first bike I had was 1997 Honda Shadow. I rode that for couple of years before my dad sold it. I planned to get a bike of my own shortly after, but due to horrible proscanation on my behalf, I waited until '12 to get back into it. I finally bought a Yamaha YZF600R, but had lot of problems with it so actual riding was short. I make the mistake of pushing my limit in twisties; The road went left but I went right (too hot). I wasn't hurt too bad aside from torn ligament in my left ankle, which still does bother me now and then. The bike was totaled out, and in turn, got a 2003 Honda CBR600RR. I was little bit more cautious this time around, and went a little too slow in twisties after that (Highway 33, 190, 155, Granite Road (which I had my first wreck)The Snake I have gotten little better or so I thought. I like to record my rides and although I did managed to get a few knee drags in, it was all in the wrong BP. Earlier this year in January, I was coming home from a local twisty road and making a casual 30 MPH left turn, and hit either oil or black ice, which caused a low slide. I had full leather on and I was okay (small dime size road rash) but unfortunately my bike was not. I had frame sliders on it, and it end a curb dead center in the engine, end up being totaled out. A month later I bought my current bike, a 2012 Yamaha R6. I did my first track day just a week ago on Sunday. I loved it, and I had lot fun, even gained more confidence. I recorded only my first and second session which was probably the most horrible speed and body position ever lol. After the third, fourth and half the five session, I did much better and gotten little better with my BP. I am signed up for trackdaz on August 1st, then doing another program called' let's ride' on the 16th, so thankfully when I do go to CSS, i'll have little bit more experience going in. However, I am up to learning anything and everything possible, and being that I heard this school is one of the best, you know I had to sign up, or in this case, soon
