The rocky side areas off the track do not look very forgiving.  :(

I took the Advanced Street skills class level 1 in June at the Ridge and had a blast.  It improved my riding capabilities a lot in the 6 hours we were there.  Not nearly as fast as these guys but I plan to take level 2 classes there again.  A great investment!

I'd have been there but it just wasn't in the cards ;D  Did you do it on a Connie?

Done on the Connie plus it was one of those rare rainy days in late June.  I thought they might reschedule the class but the track is booked pretty tight and I expect PSS had already paid for the track time.  One lap was very wet while light rain most of the time for the rest of the day.  I took off the bags but still had the rear canyon cages on the bike which resulted in questions from others about what those big brackets sticking out were. 

There were many sport touring or touring bikes there plus a few crotch rockets.  One guy on a Gold Wing!

And I kept the bags on ;D ;D  As of late it feels almost odd to run with them off.  Maybe it's the GS influence ;)
