Thanks Cobie, the tank is a big help especially with the larger 6 gallon version. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't being an idiot jeff

Can pivot steering be done on a bike with floorboards (Harley) or are they too far forward? Thanks in advance for any help on this. jeff

Ok, I did my first CSS school (Level 1) and first ride on a sport bike on Tuesday. I don't know where to start. My learning experience was huge. The class room instruction was awesome with Keith and Pete splitting the time instructing. My track coach Gerry was very patient and helpful beyond belief. Special thanks to Cobie, Josh, James, and Crystal (hardest working woman in motorcycling). Also it was great meeting hooligans Dan from California and warregl (Carey), thanks for the help and words of encouragement. Thanks to Keith for putting this "family" together...CSS is a well oiled machine. I'll be back. After I go practice ALOT!

Thanks waregl! Just signed up at VIR!!!!!! for the 14th. I think I have another old Harley rider that's going to sign up too. This is the same sick at my stomach feeling I used to get when I used to sign up for an ultra marathon:) Loving every minute you just don't know what's next! Here's a thread with links to some reviews I've written. Maybe they will help you with what to expect. And if you have any questions just ask! I hope to see you in August (I'll be there as long as work doesn't get in the way). Thanks! That is so cool and a big help. I really appreciate it!!!!! Jeff

Rabbit Thanks for that reply! That is good to hear all that. I wish I could get to a class sooner so I could use my new found skills all summer. It's going to feel like Christmas Eve until August 14th. Can't wait! Jeff

+1 on that, and here's another warning, when I took CSS Level 1, I was NOT a serious rider, not by a long shot, and look what happened to me! Now I have a budget specifically for track days and racing... and an S1000rr in the garage! It sounds like to me I'm about be hanging around with a bad group. You are some serious trouble makers for sure. I can't wait:)

I am really fired up about this! It looks like Virginia may be the closest to me so that's where I will try. Thanks so much for the replies and encouragement!

Absolutely not. No way is 57 too old, you will have a great time, and you will not feel out of place at all. An average CSS school day has a VERY wide range of ages. Sign up, you'll be glad you did. Thanks for the replies. My move!

Hey all, Old Harley rider here. I just came across Twist of the Grip2 video. It's as if I've never ridden a motorcycle before. After watching several times ( just started the book) it has completely changed my grin level for riding. I guess my question is, is 57 too old to take a CSS school? I have never been on a track and only on a sport bike once in my life. In over 21 years of riding I have been all over the country 2up. After all this time I would really like to ride correctly. Also riding the schools BMW would be pretty amazing. After a couple of weeks my riding has noticeably improved just from watching the video. What do you guys think? Be Honest! Jeff PS. I am probably in better shape than your average 57 yr old:)
