CA. Superbike School: Highly recommended

I am a proud Level 2 graduate. Keith Code throughout, first class operation. Do it! You won't be disappointed.

Oh. By the way. Willow Springs is a might windy.

Ha. You should try running there in June or Sept when it is 110. And windy. Or in Jan when it is 40. And windy.

Was it big track or streets?

Congrats, Level 3 graduate here. All at the streets as well. Planning to take the two day in June.

The speeds would be way to fast on the big track, I think streets is a much better track to learn and practice technique on.

I highly recommend it, even for those not interested in going to the track or aggressive street riders.

Streets. It was actually pretty nice yesterday, gusts only to about 20mph. Vintage bikes running on the big track today in prep for the big show over the weekend--you could smell the oil from Streets...

My coach was recommending Miller for my L3-4 (or for anything, for that matter). Easy flight from Austin, too, which is a bonus.

20mph? feh....that isn't wind, that's a mere desert fart

Streets is a great track - a little bit of everything. The bowl is quite tricky, and the hardest turn for me was always turn 9 (going clockwise). Damn off camber thing...

I roadraced for six years.....As I was winding down, I rode my street bike from Seattle to Willow and did the Keith Code thing for 2 days in 1987.....Great track, I ran wide into the desert off the last turn, but stayed on.......Happy Days!!!!!!!!! I'm a better rider for it today..
