Davissea Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Planning to attend the June 6, 2010 school at Barber. Should I start at Level I or II? I ride a 2008 250 Ninja and have particpated in about a half dozen track days and two WERA races. My lap times at Barber last weekend were between 1:58 - 2:00. Don't want to jump past Level I...just looking to get started in the correct level. I have a lot to learn.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davissa; Your describing a common misconception regarding the Superbike School; that Level I can be skipped over because of prior rider experience. It can't. Just like you can't remove one leg of a stool and still expect to be able to sit on it, level I is necessary to move onto Level II and so on. Every student including professional racers who have attended the School all go through Level I first. Since you are planning on attending CSS/Barber you will understand it once you're there. BTW, it is always helpful if you have read the Twist of the Wrist books and/or watched the DVD because it will give you a better foundation in the structured approach that Keith Code has developed over the past three decades. Good luck and let us know how it goes for you. Rainman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
