Scarabrae Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi...Back in 1989 I bought zxr 750 H1 and rode this until I sold it in 1991. So with only 2 years riding experience 15 years ago when I was young and na?ve. I am now in the position to purchase another bike. I am assuming that the little experience I do have and the fact I have not ridden in all that time will not prevent me from learning from the level 1 class, indeed, perhaps getting the training in as soon as possible will increase my levels of safety, awareness and enjoyment? Any other new riders out there thinking about taking classes or even suggestions to my plan? I live in the uk and may even make a holiday of it somehwere abroad! Cheers Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeF4y Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Personally (having a good deal of experience and having gone through levels I - III), I would say you're the PERFECT candidate. It's easier to instill proper techniques from the start than to re-train years of bad habits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarabrae Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi Thanks for your response, what you say makes sense. I am really excited about this learning. I have just received three of Keith's books from amazon and can't wait to put into practice what is suggested, ah but what bike do I buy? PS: Nice site JeF4y Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeF4y Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 hey thanks! Learning is a fantastic thing... As for the bike, what are you considering, and what will be your main purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuman Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 You just need to be able to ride without putting much attention on the controls to do the school. As long as you can comfortabley ride around town without having to think too much about using the clutch, brakes and throttle then you are ready for the school. The Superbike School is just not for a pure beginner that does not know how to ride at all, they would be better off doing the MSF course here in the states or something simular first.
