I wish someone rented bikes to take out there too. I'm too chickenshit to take mine out there.

i notice they have level classes, and also a two day camp...

i was contemplating at the 2 day camp... but i was wondering if i should just go level by level and move up as i go allowing time to perfection what i learn on each level?

well, i would appreciate comments and advice...

thanks....
Contact EdgeR6 on "the other" site. He's attended several riding schools, including this one, and he'll be able to give you a bit of information on this particular course.

Keep an eye on the Wera, Nesba, CycleForums.com, and other motorcycle related sites. If you look hard enough, you can find good deals on decent used suits.

Team Promotion Rents Leathers for 60$ as well as boots and gloves. Back protector is included in the price of the Leather Rental.
They also have quite a selection of bikes to rent. Anywhere from an FZ6 toa couple of Ducatis, Hondas, Suzukis and Kawasakis.
And as far as Leathers, what size are you? I have a set of Frank Thomas that I hate and am planning to get a set of either new Alpinestars or Teknic. So let me know on that.

Oh so they do rent bikes? Any links to pricing on that? I'd love to do one of these classes but I couldn't see myself doing it on my bike/tires.

Yes they do And they come equipped with Diablo Corsa IIIs. (They best tires ever made) If you give them a call they can help you out. Its not online priced because every bike is different and they have them out every weekend, so if someone totals or wrecks a rented price it might not be available or price change ya know?

Damn, I was just looking for a round-about figure so I could try and figure what the total price would be for renting a bike and gear.

Really using your own bike is the best way to go.... use the platform you already are comfortable on that way you dont spend half the day learning the bike before enjoying the day... That way you learn on what you ride day to day and you can apply th skillz you learn on the track to the street!
