anyone else besides me thinking about attending this school? anyone here ever been or know anyone that has? ive been reading about it in the mags, looks pretty sweet.

 

Never been there, but recently read a great article about that school. Sounds pretty awesome to me!

 

Have not but would like to here your review. Looks great hope you enjoy.

 

The only problem I see is that it is Suzuki only. If you don't have your own Suzuki, you have to pay an extra $400 to rent one of their's. What's the point of learning how to race on someone else's bike? You learn the basic principles but you will be lost on differently setup bike, especially a completely different brand of bike.

 

yeah my thoughts exactly about riding suzuki only, but as far as learning fundamentals, rider development etc.. looks like it might be worth it. if i cant get into one of the classes for the fall ill be going this next year. maybe ill paint my green hornet blue and white temporarily and no one will know ;-] ehehehehe

 

keith codes school is a kick *** way to learn the fundamentals and also proper bike set up. its not how fast you go, but how you go fast.

 

Exactly, and it's ZX6R's. It's an awesome school. I don't want to knock Kevin Schwantz school; He was a World Champion Racer and everyone can learn something from his school, just like Freddie Spencers & Pridmores schools. They're all good and I would take whichever one is most convenient. You become a better rider at the end even if you learned something on a Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki. As said before; It's not what you ride, it's how well you ride it.

 

im in florida so attending a school in georgia rather than cali seems logical. maybe im biased because of the recent articles in the mags. i have read about the school, and have seen advertisements on the others but havent read any articles or feedback about them, riding all day and personal instruction from a world champion in a family environment seems excellent to me.. im also sold on the home cookin they offer during meal time >=]

 

I read that same article on the Schwantz school also and it was good. I wouldn't mind taking that and Spencers class also. The California Superbike School has classes at track all over the US. Just check their schedule. Also some current and former AMA & world champions have take this course. Some still come back and take the 2 day course or as coaches. There's on coming up on Aug 26th at Barber in Alabama & one onSept 5th in Virginia. As I said, anyone of these schools will be a great benefit to riding/ racing. Even the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course will help, especially since we ride on the streets mostly.

 

kevin is a racing god when just by hanging out with him at road america in june I dropped 2 seconds a lap[sm=hail.gif]
