West Coast Superbike School
Advanced Rider Training
Next Sunday will be fun | You won't regret it, but be prepared to take everything you learned from street riding and toss it out the window. The new riding techniques will turn your world upside down, but you'll walk away a better rider.
If you get a chance to do a track day in the states with 2fast, I highly recommend you taking a class with them as well. The ART course is awesome for getting the basics down, but I found I learned more with 2fast in 1 day than I did at my three days at west coast superbike school.
Best of luck to ya and have fun! Keep the rubber side down.

I plan on at least one advanced course per year, the ART course is the start, next season it will be a Roadcraft and possibly some Pitt Meadows 'track' days.

I signed up through PRS though. Just seemed more friendly and laid back.

when i had my bt-45's installed by modern they said there aren't any special instructions, just take it easy and try to get as much mileage on them as quick as possible so that you can resume regularly scheduled programming.
you essentially just want to get that slick layer off them. if you ride home and take a look at the tires, you should notice a colour difference between the centre and the shoulder.

I personally use the Mototune break-in method but...your mileage may vary.

Now I'm thinking of trading in, not cause I don't like the tires but I've been on the fence since spring. Still pulling at me, wait till January or bite the bullet and pay the premium now. Triumph Street Triple R, Aprilia Tuono, choices.......first world problems.

cool. Good to hear man. I gotta get these norsorex pants too, been putting it off for awhile.
any crash you can walk away from, and shop for upgrade parts as replacements, is a good one
careful out there everyone!
