Whew, just got back and checked my email. 7 hour drive after class.


It was an excellent class. Probably better than any of the courses I've taken for bikes or car racing. The one thing that SUCKED is that it rained ALL damn day today so we ran in the rain!!! Sucked.

Here is a cool photo. We were sitting outside the classroom and I turned around and saw Kevin sitting on my bike. I was the only one there that brought my own bike. I grabbed my camera and walked over and said "Oh, I have to take a picture of this, THE Kevin Schwantz scratching up MY motorcycle, haha". He laughed a little.

I'll type up a more through review tomorrow.

There were several guys from Tampa there including a guy that runs the ononewheel.com wheelie "school"

If you have never done s school before, you'll absolutely love it. It is a lot more expensive than any other school, unless it's also run by a celebrity. Kevin is great and the video analysis is also great. If you've done a couple of schools before, you'll still like it. If you've done a lot of track days, schools, or you race, you probably won't learn anything unless you ask specific questions.

There is a pretty good review on gixxer.com somewhere.

just one time. too expensive for me to do more than once. I don't think you'd learn much in subsequent schools because they will always start from scratch.

I use the motul oil when I can get it. haven't had any blown motors from it yet, so I can say it works
