Dark Suzuki Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hello all, thought i would write in and let you guys know what i thought of the course a few days later when all the info had sunk in. well the verdict is ... ... ... WOW! I had no idea how much my riding would improve on the street after the course, it made a huge difference. I did the level 1 course at Phillip island, and the throttle control drill (in conjunction with the quick turn and corner entry) has solved so many of my riding problems! Went for a ride today through some of my favorite roads and my perception of how fast i can go, and how controlled i can be has completely changed. much more confident that I'm on the right line and not going to run wide. I haven't got everything nailed but i believe I'm on my way, just wanna say thanks to the riding coaches (particularly my coach Shane) and Steve for the class room sessions, and i can't wait for level 2!

Hey mate, Is amazing how much improvement you can get from level 1 isn't it? Really glad you had such a cool time. Am sure you'll be back to post questions on other things you get stuck on, and please share your development as continues. Bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozfireblade Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hey Dark, I just did Level 1 @ phillip island ,last sunday, which day were you there? I know exactly what your on about everything makes sense and Im so much smoother. Reading about the two step I thought I had it nialed then I watched Lou and learned how to do it properly. Something so simple but so effective, it really helped me with the ground rush I was getting going into a slow turn from a fast one like turn 3 to 4. I went for a ride today and now realise that I am hooked on track days, the road is no longer as much fun as it was with the knowledge I have gained. Just wish the track wasnt 2 hours away. Might see you on level 2 im there on 15 Dec Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonzilla Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I commute on my bike, and don't even come close to pushing it on the road. On the way to work I have it down to turn points and RP's on the road, and am now working on apexes to practice my two step. Not doing anything crazy. On the track it's a whole other story. November 22nd is my next trackday. I'm excited to see how it works out. And I would LOVE to ride Phillip Island. I told my wife that if we go to Australia we need to plan it around a trackday over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dark and Dylan, Great to hear that guys, good stuff! Jason, it's a neat track if you do make it down there, and the Oz branch does have rental bikes too. CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
