[Gloves]

This forum really came through when I asked about touring boots. I ended up with quality boots that I had never heard of despite multiple variations of Google searches.

 

So............ I would appreciate the forum's experience and input on gloves. I will use them for touring, but PROTECTION is uppermost for this old guy who depends upon his hands to make a living, a race glove is a definite possibility. My Priorities are: 1) Protection / amour 2) comfort 3) water proof (which Ivery much doubt I will find) and 5) Price

 

After 42 years it's good to be back on a bike. The Level 1 at VIR moved the comfort needle way up. Now, on the twisties, I don't have to pull over for GrandMothers in MiniVans. Yipee, Yahoo, Oh Boy

 

Thanking everyone in advance, Slow Rabbit

[2 Day Camp Questions]

Recently I lowsided on my own s1k during a right turn on a city street. No damage to me (I wear my gear) but my insurance wasn't happy with the $7.5k bill. I've gone over and over the crash in my head and can't figure out anything I did wrong (stayed on the throttle and had the brake uncovered). It's murdering my confidence in turns. Can the camp help with this?

 

 

Hey Kuroshio, I recently got back on a touring bike after a long - long time. For me, No confidence made for exciting riding but no satisfaction and definately no joy. Took Level 1 at VIR recently and that has made huge difference. In my view, yes the camp is made for you. Bet if you take the class you will be able to identify the element that put you down recently. In the meantime, start with Twist of the Wrist 2, book and DVD. As to the very slow part on the track, I was a bit worried about that as I was riding a Valkyrie interstate. But it genuinely didn't seem to be a problem. The instructors, and guys, and gals where great to ride and learn with. Here's to all the gear all the time. Slow Rabbit

Hey FLXH,

 

I"m 60 and after 43 years, just got back on a bike in March of this year. A Valkyrie Interstate, which I rode to and at VIR, May 14, Level 1.

The only non-sport bike on the track. (no way I was riding their bike, as previously mentioned, what if I liked it? not even going to try to explain that budget to the wife)

 

I could not be more pleased with the day. My comfort level is way up. The 850 mile ride home, through the mountains was sooo much better.

The experience slowed things down for me on the street. I now ride with technique, tools and awareness of why a corner did or did not go well.

If you like Twist of the Wrist 2, you will love the CSS school and the community (teachers and students) that go with it.
