[quote name='Jasonzilla' date='Nov 8 2009, 06:35 PM' They work just fine for what you'll be focused on. Good luck. You're going to love it. DITTO WHAT JASON SAID... the bike handled very good and I felt confident throughout the 2-Day Camp.

back in 1974 on a Kawasaki S3 400 (bored to 500cc) a chainsaw with wheels... guess that was 35 years ago for the streets... 1969 for the desert...honda trail 70cc

Also From this weekend... Johny "Daytona" Haynes - he hates it, which is all the more reason this one should stick. I'll let him explain in private to the UK guys where this came from But it sounds cool ( like a 70's porn start name) and it even comes with a little tune (think porn music, bow chicka wow wow) and dance Timmy "Vegas" Johnson - he earned this one this weekend as well [/quote: As a native of Las Vegas I have to agree...Timmy had the "Vegas" side burns that Elvis would envey...who could miss them and if I recall he could shake a leg on his bike...

You certainly said it well, in my case (W #21) I hope that I didn't imped you or the other more experienced riders too often on the track, short of a controlled track day and single track session... the CSS was my first real track experience. Did you feel like you were learning fast? My experience, especially after the 2 step, was like a lightbulb coming on. It was one of those rare feelings. Jason: I think the first caveman who experienced fire describes the light coming on and staying on for me...each session brighter and I learned to use "fire" to my advantage. I concentrated on the technical aspects because my normal riding days are also canyons and wide open spaces...we have areas where hitting the rev limiter in top gear and top end for long periods of time exist getting to our twisties which going forward are corners to me, now getting enrty speed, turn point and 2/3step right will be the technical drills first and staying in the front pack the succeeding sessions. Nothing for me to prove on the streets. Like yourself I am looking forward to my next 2-Day Camp, I'll shoot for another track outside Las Vegas. Riding with the white group and the coaches on the track gave me a greater appreciation for the "track days" bug that I have heard my buddies talk about all these years. I still like the open road, short of the "course control" - Highway Patrol style... I much prefer Trevor and his team on corners, blue flags are much better than pink tickets...both of which I want to avoid.

Cobie: I guess Jason didn't experience a coach that challenged him consistently... (I may have to pay for that one in my next CSS course) isn't great coaching really in identifying new challenges after achievement for continued or consistent progression? Guess this is why you are number 1 in my book... Youth and Vigor will never over come Wisdom & Treachery... so I have spilled the beans...now they know...

You certainly said it well, in my case (W #21) I hope that I didn't imped you or the other more experienced riders too often on the track, short of a controlled track day and single track session... the CSS was my first real track experience. So the steps that I was exposed too as being new to the track and to the program were new experiences to me and each session lead to my improvement. So I suspect that I will step up when I can for more track days and most definitely will plan on attending CSS L3-4 in the future at a 2-Day Camp... knowing now what to expect, hopefully my track etiquette will improve and my skills all leading up to better track times. Jason is so right, CSS is a very professional organization, they provided what they say they would do and the investment is well worth the price of the course. When the circumstances are right I will continue my CSS curriculm and progress. My appreciation to my fellow students for putting up with me and to the instructors, support and CSS HQ team.

I am in the British Army and am currently working near Tucson, Arizona until Dec. I have managed to take the plunge and have booked myself on the 2 Day CSS course in Vegas later in the month. You'll enjoy the LV Motorspeedway, our weather here should be good not too cold and the heat will be all but gone...probably the 60's for high's. It was a great experience for me... Good luck, Douglas

I'm new to the forum and just completed the 2 Day Camp in Las Vegas (Oct 31 Nov 1, White Group #21) which for me was worth the investment and the time. Cobie and his assistants (Matt on day 2) gave me great feedback after each session and worked with me to improve my techbical skills that inturn gave me the ability to turn the track quicker. I learned to go at my own pace, to do the drills and to measure my success at my skill level. It was challenging, they made sure of that and guided me along during the on & off track sessions. So my track times were not blinding but improved significantly, my confidence improved as did my cornering and riding skills. The course room sessions were informative and raised the bar each time. Keith Code and his entire staff (they all seemed like family...but weren't) have my sincere appreciation for their efforts and their contribution to the 2 Day Camp being a success for me. I can't leave out my wife, she gave me the course as an anniversary present that was achieved with the CSS HQ staff.
