Thanks for the welcome. I have TotW2 somewhere round here (my gf uses The Force to organize things. Along with Lee Parks and Nick Ienatsch's books. Also have the DVD but haven't been ale to watch it all at one time (lifelifelife). I'm probably going to do the deposit on the Sept 2 day camp in NJ in a couple days. I think I hit the limit on what I could learn on my own years ago. Just stubborn ego kept me going till I cracked the frame on my s1k and can't figure out how. I mean skipping the blatantly obvious "sliding from mid street, over the curb and stopping on the sidewalk" part

New around here. Turned 40 this year and live in Philadelphia. I've been riding for about 4-5 years now. My 1st bike was a '95 CBR F3 I picked up for $500. Good bike, great bike to get my first couple noob drops (twice in about 15 min) and first low side (lesson learned: front brakes are a nono on trolley tracks in the rain). Couple seasons of cleaning carbs and I picked up a '06 CBR F4i while I still had hair. Immaculate condition and barely ridden (2.5k miles when I got her in 2010). I can't describe the feeling of coming outside in 40 deg weather, pressing the starter AND HAVING HER START Which bring me to this year. This year I went out and bought my dream bike: a leftover 2011 BMW s1000rr with 0 miles. And she's made it blatantly obvious that I can no longer put off getting some real lessons. Lowsiding her 3 months after buying her will do that. I took the MSF BRC in order to get my license. And I took the ERC last year on my F4i. But I've never been on a track. And Philly is kinda short on twisties So here I am. A low side eating my confidence in turning and long overdue on the track anyways. I've always felt I didn't need to learn to go faster, not finding much enjoyment in raw speed anyways (yeah I know: why get a s1k then?). But I need to get better. So it's time to ask for help.

Hi y'all. I've got a couple questions about the 2 day camp. I'm leaning very strongly towards putting a deposit for the Aug 1st & 2nd dates. I understand the leathers and bike are supplied during the 2 days. Is a parts and leather security deposit still required? I've been riding for about 4 years now but never been to the track. And twisty experience is limited. What lessons would be given to me? 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?
