SPIDEY

I can't remember where it was from or the exact wording (but it's definitely one from Keith ): 'Laps are like sheets of toilet paper, when you only have a few left, you have to make the most of them.'

I just downloaded it on iBooks, perfect for travelling to flyaway Schools!

Whenever we do a flyaway School, we end up riding someone else's bikes. Priority for all of us is to pack Stomp Grips for the Coach Bikes in our luggage. Two, maybe three, days on track all day is exhausting enough but the Stomps help no end. Given the choice, I wouldn't ride without them!

Thanks for the feedback! We've all agreed we need to do this again, maybe before the season kicks off next year, will keep you posted. :-) Charlie Oakman from Fast Bikes came along in the morning and wrote this: http://m.fastbikesmag.com/2012/09/21/california-superbike-school-training-the-trainers/

Cool, see you out there ;-)

Hi Amit, welcome. You made the right decision to come to CSS, we will help you! We won't be bringing the Lean or Brake bikes with us but I assure you that you will have plenty to do and even more to think about on the School day. If you don't want to ride your own bike, have a word with Dave at dave@track-daze.co.za as he organises the event out there for us and I'm sure he'll point you in the right direction of a track bike hire company but frankly, if you're prepared to ride your bike on the streets of South Africa, riding it on a track will be easy!

Couple of options for you: Scott Leathers are made in the UK, they do have a made-to-measure service but they can also 'tweak' any of their own, off-the-peg suits to get a better fit. I've dealt with them in the past and found them very helpful. Here's a link: http://www.scottleathers.co.uk/default.asp Another option is to find something you like that fits you in length, then have it altered by a company like The Leather Workshop http://www.leather-workshop.co.uk/ . These people were recommended to me by the fantastic people at Scrubbers Leathers http://www.scrubbersleathers.co.uk/ who did a fantastic job of cleaning all the UK Coach and Hire leathers this year, not only making them look almost like new, but also made them soft and supple again, can't recomment them highly enough! Let us know how you get on, Spidey
