  1. Welcome. Good to see someone else in Tennessee.
  2. That's unfortunate to hear. Josh was my level 3 rider coach at Barber last week, he is such a cool guy. I wish him all the best on a speedy recovery.
  3. The riders are first divided into the white and yellow groups, 14 each. Each group is then divided into level I & II, level 3, and level 4. The white & yellow groups alternate track/ classroom time. Everyone in each of the 2 groups rides at the same time. Sessions last 15 minutes and you will only have one track coach for the day. Coaches from day 1 to day 2 may or may not be the same. See you there!
  4. Thanks for the input guys. Cobie, what do you think the reason behind faster laps with only a 600? Shouldn't a 1000 power down the straights much quicker than the 6?
  5. Not sure if this is the right place for this topic but here goes anyway. After attending school at Barber I am dead set on getiing my own track bike this winter. Problem is,I'm not sure which way to go. My street bike is an Aprilia RSVR. It handles like a dream but everyone I've talked to and everything I've read saysthey can't compete with jap inline 4's. I previously owned a late 90's gixxer but the bike was too bulky. The newer models seem to be slimmer, much like my ape. The ZX6's we rode were nice and handled well but I would be looking at a ZX10. I've heard R1's are monsters for power but are more difficult to turn in. And I know absolutely nothing about Hondas. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated.
  6. Things are going very well. I try to apply everything we practiced with every ride I take. Some seem to come better than others but I'm working on them. I think I'm going to come back to Barber in August for a 1 day session, hope to see you there.
  7. This topic has come up on another forum. I'm ignorant on the subject and I thought I'd see what you guys think. What pressure do you run and why?
  8. I too have recently added stomp grip tank pads. So far it seems they help a great deal.
  9. I recently attended Barber for the level I & II camps. All I can say is WOW! I have never had an experience as amazing. Everything from the professionalism to the ease of talking to the guru himself was awesome. I had never been on a track before and now I can't wait to go back. I am still flat out amazed at how much can be learned and how improved my riding was in just 2 days. A big thanks to Keith, Cody, Cobie and especially my coach Yoohey!
  10. My old Aprilia rs250. Probably because of it's light weight and easy turn in. However, my new Aprilia RSVR is a monster and with full Ohlins turns in every bit as quick.
