I am a new rider and just started riding this summer. I have a 98 Ninja 250 and so far have taken the MSF basic rider's course, and ridden about 800 miles on the street over the past few months. Most of the miles have been on country back roads and twisties. I have all 3 of Code's books, but the only one I've started so far is Twist 2, finished the Throttle Control section.
I signed up for two individual days of Level 1 and Level 2 at the new Thunderbolt Track in NJ on August 11 and 12. Just curious to see if anyone on here will be there? Even which instructors are coming?
Also what do you guys think of the track? Seems it just opened this earlier this month. http://youtube.com/watch?v=cUYlw_ejtYQ&feature=related
I think this would be the same config, but not sure. It seems pretty high speed, would it be a good place to learn technical cornering, or would you guys suggest doing the school at a different track?
I am doing the school on their ZX-6. I was also wondering with my limited experience, after doing the Level 1 and 2 on their ZX-6, would I be okay to move up to an 03-06 Japanese 600cc sportbike?
Any other advice, comments?
Thanks!
