  1. This is a few weeks ago at Summit Point in West Virginia. I completed 4 lvls of California Superbike school last year and my progress has been astonishing. My lap times improve each time I ride. I look forward to the next time I can make it out to school. Thanks to the entire staff!!! Outstanding.
  2. The fundamentals of Level 1 and 2 can be learned on any machine. Throttle control principles are the same on any bike...that can't change. Different bikes offer more suspension adjustment and slightly better equipment but your bike is not a problem. I've seen people on all kinds of bikes go thru the school. That being said you should keep this in mind. On two days of riding on the track you will have to do the following: Maintain your machine Transport it to the track Keep it safe over night Have good tires. You pay 475 I think if you BYOB and 650 if you rent theirs. A set of tires alone are over 225 bux...so renting makes alot of sense. It eliminates all of the tasks above . Just something to think about. Plus the BMW is a kick ass machine. I have one . I used theirs for the first 3 levels and mine for level 4. Good luck and have fun on track. Brett
  3. My main thing is body position. I need to incorporate the hook turn more. When I do it , I just don't seem to get down enough. Definitely a work in progress. I also still need to work on reference points. The more I find the smoother I run.
  4. This is a photo from yesterday. Quality sucks cause it's a picture of a picture
  5. I just finished level two and three yesterday. I think the last drill on level 3 will help you for sure to get out of that lost feeling when you charge in and get slowed down. Pace comes with practice not with trying to chase down people you just cant catch. Also taking advantage of areas on the track where you are faster than others or simply sacrificing time entering a corner in order to get more drive and ultimately more speed coming out. I was very concerned about my pace to. After level two I drastically improved my pace. Then with the addition of the tools you pick up in level 3, I found myself getting around the track considerably faster than I ever thought I could. I would be interested in knowing your impression of your pace once you've finished level 3.
  6. Here is a photo of my at a track day a few weeks ago. I took level one and am scheduled for 2 and three in a couple of weeks. I have a long way to go but have made alot of progress using the techniques I picked up at the school.
