  1. Thanks, I figured that was the typo. I shot them an email. I'm vertically challenged at 5' 7" and stocky at 230. Not exactly a racing frame I know Might need something custom made.
  2. I tried but that email bounced back to me Cobie. Is there a typo in there? Thanks
  3. I am interested as well... Wll the info come in the package you mail after signing up?
  4. Wife took a couple of me last year and a couple pics I took of the bike for fun. See you in May at NJMP!
  5. Submitted for level 1 at NJMP on 5-24-13. I will be on one of the BMW's. Thanks for the advice. Until I decide I am hooked on going to the track and invest in a trailer I will rent the bike's. I suspect after the class I will be shopping for a bike trailer Can't wait to get down to business!
  6. Thanks for all the advice, I submitted for level 1 at NJMP 5/24/13. Renting the BMW. Will be watching the In box for confirmation!
  7. Some valid points here all have me leaning towards renting the BMW. Saves time, hassle, prep and gives me a chance to ride an amazing liter bike I always see on the podium. Prob not a bad idea to have traction control, wheelie control and enough nanny software to help me along my way as a first timer. Thanks for the info. Regards, Mike
  8. Cobie, Thanks for the reply. As I understand the date codes 4 digits stand for the manufactur date. First 2 digits are week and last 2 are the year for tires made after the year 2000. This would indicate the front tire was manufactured in the last week of April or first week in May of 2008. The rear tire would have been manufactured last week of May or first week of June of 2008 as I understand it. These tires have just under 1200 miles and look basically new but I was I wondering what you guys felt about a set of tires on a bike for level 1 that were right at 5 years old by class time? I did read about the Dunlops and will very likely take the school up on the deal either by days end or in Aug when you come back to NJ where I may likely do level 2. I would like to use these tires if you are confident they are perfect for level 1 as they are nearly new otherwise. Especially the 1 inch chicken strip on each side I hope to remove those strips as a result of your instruction. I know my success will be based partly on trust in my tires but if you have confidence in them I will also. I am still considering the bike rental as I've read fatigue by class end may have me wishing I drove my SUV to the track and back. I live about 45mins from NJMP. At 40 years old I may not have the energy of my younger counterparts. Can bike rental be a last min decision if I sign up to use my own but change my mind?
  9. I am milling over signing up for the level 1 school and just looked at the tires on my 2009 Ducati 848. Still not 100% on renting their bike or using my own. It may be easier to just use the BMW but the age of the tires may be borderline even if it only has 1200 miles on the set of tires. I am looking for opinions. The vehicle is garage kept under a cover. They are Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro's with date codes of 1808 front and 2208 rear. The class I am looking at is this May 2013.
  10. Just reading about the school and contemplating signing up. Reading lots of great info here and really great feedback about the school. Soundsime a real winner for sure. Been riding on and off for 20 years. Now I 40 and figured I should learn to do it right!
