Motorcycle Riders/Racers/Track Day'ers
I just got back from Yamaha Champions School (http://www.millermotorsportspark.com/learn/motorcycle-school/). If you are a little underconfident on the road, want to get to the expert group during trackday, or just want to learn to ride fast and safe, I'd recommend you look into it.
The instructors came from the Freddie Spencer school--Nick Ienatsch is the lead instructor--national ama champ several times over. The guys have incredible passion and enthusiasm. WAY better, more credentialed, and smarter than Code's superbike school. Nick writes for CycleWorld, too. Ken Hill is equally as impressive and enthusiastic. The logistics are relaxed and accepting--no track marshall nazis and enough rules to keep your small group safe. Miller Motorsports is first class facility, too. It's expensive, but worth every $. And you get to ride brand new R6s and we got to ride an R1 on the last session. Sorry if this sounds like an ad... "Kicking the Can" Jack

A track school is on my list of things to do before the summer is over. Very cool.

Good idea of all m/c riders. I road raced for six years in the 1980's and took the Keith Code training at Willow once. All goes toward improving the skills.
I recall when Nick Ienatsch moved from Utah to write for M/C rags in Calif. He used to have Suz. GS1000S models. Good taste in bikes, I have one from both years they were made.
