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.
