  1. I will go ahead and antiscipate the answer as to where was I looking? Obviously, I was not excuting the "2 Step Drill" properly! But anyway, I thought when I turned off of the "X" , my eye was on my line looking at my apex, at least I thought it was.
  2. I can really identify with that feeling on Trn 1 at VIR North. There were laps around trn 1 when I felt that I had made a good turn off the the "X", with a good line. but while going through the decreasing radius.......I felt like I was in a vacuum (a very weird feeling) and all I tried to do was just trust my line while rolling on the throttle. I think that is what you are talking about....my sense of awareness was not 100% in that turn.

  4. Rman: Thanks for the explanation. I did buy Twist of the Wrist II. Will go back to look for the "Two Step". Wayneman
  5. Would you elaborate a little on what is the "two step at entry"? Thanks!

  7. Kevin: You got it! Will do. I will be up at Virgina Int'l around the 3rd week of Sept. and will get back to you. Wayneman
  8. Hey Kevin: Thanks for the reply. I guess I conjured up the idea after reading a lot of the posts, that the school is really for guys who want to run the track...period! I think your input makes sense. My lowside two months ago on the S650S kind of slowed me down a littel bit. I am still sore, but fortunately didn't break any bones. Just glad I had a good pair of protective riding pants. I also own a Hayabusa down in Florida where I ride during the winter. I ride with some guys who like to ride pretty hard out in the Everglades where there are some fairly good deserted roads. So I am hoping Levels One and Two will help me ride safer and more effectively!
  9. Oops! My post should have said " I ride pretty agressively" not "pretty". Oh well, you get the point!
  10. While reading the above two posts....it has made me rethink my reasons for why I should be signing up for Levels One and Two this Fall. My real interest in not in accumulating a lot of future track time and running at 150 mph...... but learning how to become a more accomplished rider.... at cornering through the twisties.... (which I love to do) at speeds usually at 50 mph or lower on the back, mountain roads in western NC. I have been riding most of my life and ride a 650 V-Strom on the back roads. This bike is only about 40 lbs heavier than the S650S I owned (past tense), which I low-sided about two months ago. At 65 yrs young, I like the more upright bars and naked bikes for my comfort level. I ride pretty with several younger guys, who ride Aprillias, S650S's and other sport bikes......they all have track time. They aren't wild....they are very careful....but ride fast and within each of their own ability. With having said the above.....can someone or an instructor out there tell me if my reasons for considering Levels One and Two still make sense? I simply want to learn how to corner more effectiviely and improve my riding skills. I also have read over and over and over.....TOTW II...which I feel has helped me a lot.
