Default CLASS at Streets of Willow

Hey guys: I just signed up for the Reg Pridmore's CLASS for April 24, 2006. I've been taking this class since I got my bike on 2003, and it has always fulfilled my expectations. I can't compare it to any other 'cause it's the only one I've signed up for, but I can definitely recommend it to anybody. If any for you is planning on taking the same class on the same date, let me know, maybe we could work something out. :thumbup

Great school, great instructors....

One reminder, ASK QUESTIONS... Since you have been to his school in the past, I am sure you have learned that you get the most out of it by asking questions!

I have done his school 3 or 4 times, I forget. Each time I picked up more and more.

I've been riding bikes for the last 15 years or so but it wasn't until I went to CLASS that things started to click. I realized there's so much to learn and one thing I liked most about CLASS is everybody is willing to help you and no one is rushing you. I would also recommend to any of you new to bikes, to read a couple of books, "Smooth Riding" by Reg Pridmore and "Sport Riding Techniques" by Nick Ienatsch.
I'll keep you posted and I will definitely take some pictures.

I had a friend call me up one day and tell me that he wanted me to sign his book... I was like, WTH are you talking about.. lol I had no idea. So I did HAVE to go out and buy the book... LOL I wish I knew where it was right now, but when I moved it got put into a box and into storage.

Nice picture!!!! You were wearing a Technic suit and a Norick replica Shoei helmet, right???? It's in page 81, on the Body Steering section. The tail section of your GSXR says something like "Almost Illegal"
That posture is what I'm aiming for.

That was too funny...As I was reading your post, I was thinking to myself that I would have to get the book and have you sign it... :headscratch (I don't have that book yet.)

Then I read the part about your friend asking you to sign the book. That was a good Monday afternoon giggle for me. :laughing

I'll have to get the book and bring it to Todd's when he has a BBQ again so I can try to convince you to give me your autograph!! :biglaugh
