  1. Oh okay, I thought he was telling me to stay away from public roads. I do agree that a track day (school) should be in my future - it's just a matter of taking the time away from work (schedule is different day to day) and getting the money together.

    But, this got a little off topic...maybe I should word it differently. How long did it take you to be comfortable on twisty roads? Not gonna lie - there's some turns down that way that definitely scared me a little.

    The riding school will teach you how to choose appropriate lines in any corner. Since the riding school I'm comfortable on just about any road.

  2. I suggest a riding school. I went to a trackday first and realized that I needed more extensive training than what I learned at a trackday. I've gone to a riding school multiple times since then, and now I'm a completely different rider.

    I've watched riding videos and read some stuff online, but nothing quite compares to being coached while riding. I am a hands-on learner, so your results may vary.

    Actually, at the end of my most recent riding school class, my coach was stunned and told me that I was a completely different rider just from the morning to afternoon.

  3. The eighties were great; I was around for all but the first few months. I remember Big wheels with rear brakes, skateboards, Nintendo Duck Hunt, laser tag, and of course riding/ driving around various motor vehicles. :-)
