You guys are not kidding. I'm sorry too!! I own one!!!! Now I can call it "American classic"? I love the bike its just slow on the Track: Laguna, Thunderhill, but rocks Sears point. It's also great in the canyons. After Riding some inline 4's I felt why people didn't like them. Motor is a little slow.

P.s Cobie, it was good seeing you at the Laguna Seca (Oct 14). I was Wills helper (Black Buell) and had a Great time. Glad that weather was nice.

Cobie,
I can answer yes to all but one. Road racing or, the lack of, is my only draw back! I'm hoping to Attend Code race school next year. Then, I'm hoping to give the 'try-out' a GO!!! See you Soon

Cobie,
I fit all of your requirements except one. I've never raced. I've taken two of the levels and number three next month, march 29 willow. Just throwing around the thought of trying out sometime in the future. So, what I really want to know is due you still give a person a chance, to try out, even if that person hasn't raced?
Thanks,
Aaron
Dear All,I posted this last year (and the year before), and we had good success with the coaching program. More coaches are still needed as it takes a while to train 1 coach (normally a season for a part time coach).
Read on, follow the steps if you are interested!
Regards,
Cobie Fair
Chief Riding Coach (Worldwide)
Here is the process:
1. Read the description below the dotted line for what we are looking for.
2. A very good riding skill level is required from our coaches. Some have met the other requirements, but had to work on their riding skill, and eventually became coaches. While riding skill is important, as or more important is ability to learn, ability to communicate and get along well with a wide variety of people, can endure hard conditions (school days are long!), and can attend enough school days in a year.
3. Please review the description and application carefully. This will ensure you won?t be wasting both of our time with questions that are already answered.
4. If you fit the description, or think you could meet the requirements soon, fill out the application that is attached and send it to me. In truth, I'd rather have you try out and let us decide if you meet the requirements, than not have you try out at all!

If you can answer yes to all of the questions below then you may be just what we need. If you can't, let me know and we'll go from there.
1. Have you already taken the Superbike School (since 1995, preferably Level 1 and 2)?
2. Have you roadraced?
3. Are you already pretty fast? (don't have to be a track record holder, but can't be slow).
4. Are you friendly and personable--enjoy talking with people?
5. Do you learn new things fairly quickly?
6. Can you devote minimum 10-15 school days per year (not including travel time)?
7. Are you willing to do difficult homework, and have every aspect of your training skills scrutinized?
8. Have you read the Twist of the Wrist books?
9. Would you enjoy helping people learn how to ride better?
We are very selective and everything you say or do in the application process counts. I?m not interested in squids, dopers or short term relationships. I am looking for enthusiastic individuals that want to learn how to become great coaches.
If you think you have the right stuff, download the application and e-mail it to me!
Best,
Cobie Fair

I bought my first bike in 2001, KLR 650. I rode it around until 2006 when I bought a XB12R and a couple of months later I took level 1. That's when the magic happend. After getting all four levels, I feel like I'm Riding now. Before I was just trying to get from point A to B.
