I've heard good things about the sbk school. Are you talking about Keith Code's school? I think it would be money well spent to up the skill level and try and stack the odds further in my favor.

Yes that's the School. I've done level 1, 2 and 3 and that they were great. (I actually lowsided a school bike on the last session of level 3) I still think about the various drills when I'm riding now. A few things I know made me faster on the track in my car. In level 3 they Videotape you while following you which I thought was very helpful. How you think your body position looks and what it really looks like isn't always the same. I've also heard really good things about the Freddie Spencer school and would like to attend that next. Like you said, just adding more tools to the toolbox.
