  1. Way too much ammo for Lyle. We actually started to call him Phish because of the beard and hat he wore to Las Vegas a while back. He looked like a guy from "The Deadliest Catch".
  2. Hi Pete,

    How are you doing?

    Getting any riding in on the new 2011 BMW???

    Cheers,

    Klaus

  3. I can't PM you. I need to ask you some questions.

  4. Oops. I missed the rhetorical part. I would agree with you on using the peg to swing out your knee.
  5. I'm not sure you got a full answer on this. When we are talking about hanging-off, there will be some weight on the inside peg; it's pretty much unavoidable. There is a difference between someone "weighting" the peg and having weight on the peg. Weighting the peg by putting forcing on it is unnecessary, and will not steer the bike effectively. Having a little bit of weight to help support some mass (like your leg) is okay. Most of the body weight should be held onto the bike via the lock-on (by pivoting off the outside peg and wedging the knee/thigh into the tank). Make sense?
  6. Did you forget to attach it? can't seem to find where I should download it from... (maybe it's the first intelligence test to see if I qualify for riding coach ) You should be able to click on the 'download the application' text and it will download it. I just tried it and it worked. If you are having computer related problems, PM me and I'll email it to you directly. Best,
  7. The trip was very enjoyable -thanks Carey. We all work very hard here at the school, so when we get an opportunity to work and have fun at the same time, it's always enjoyed. I do fart a lot. All the pro riders do it.
  8. Yeah, it was rough. Had to wake up to the view of the coast and mountains around 7:30 AM. Then talked about motorcycles and riding, watched guys ride, and helped some out -all while working on my tan. I totally felt like a work slave, disgruntled and all.
  9. Yeah, it happens to the best of us. The faster you go the more precise you need to be! See you in May. Best,
  10. That sounds like a plan. The Streets is a great training track.
  11. No problemo. You might actually be surprised at how good my memory can be -even at the old age of 31. lol. I kind of remember you. Your name rings a bell and I'm getting a picture of what we were trying to get sorted out. Was it body positioning? Hi Pete, You spent the morning helping me with entry points, mainly sorting out corners 3-5 at VIR and you had told me we needed to work on body position but you got pulled to work on something else so I worked with Kristi in the afternoon. I'll say hi when I come down to VIR for levels 3 & 4 in May. Thanks again, it was great working with you. Carey I remember exactly who are now. I think we were just starting to get some good momentum together and then I split. I didn't really get pulled away, I actually had a high speed crash. A combination of moist pavement, cold tires and a minor tech-point mistake. They all added up and pulled me away.
  12. Judging by your avatar, you're hanging-off too far. This is pretty common problem, but before I jump into this one, have you done any of the levels yet? Best,
  13. Welcome to the forum Chris! Which school are you looking to attend and what kind of riding are you into... street, racing, etc.? Best,
  14. Welcome to the forum! Take a look around, we have lots of great data on here -like the section on tires. What I recommend before you come out to the school (and even if you don't) is to read and watch Twist II. I found that the students who have studied those materials prior to attending the schools make bigger gains throughout the day, and are easier to coach. Cheers,
