Total Control Advanced Riding Class

Anyone ever done it? I'm kind of intrigued

I heard good things about it

Lee Parks gave a one-hour class in Denver last summer and I was intrigued with his style. Bought his book, then took the riding class in the fall. Here's what some riders from the Colorado Sportbike Club said about that class: http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forum...=total+control. Guess who FastFrenchy is talking about with the GS1000?

Aw...I thought this was a thread about deep sea fishing and how to rig your nets for maximum yield...:wink:

maybe I should take a typing class first

LOL!!! Good come back!

I didn't tell you how I felt about the class. Before the class, I would just push on the bars to go around corners. I would work up a sweat moving my 600-pound CBR around corners. The same for my obsolete GS1000.

My friend Dean, who teaches the class in Denver, would follow me in the canyons. He said I went pretty fast for someone who doesn't move off the bike. He kept wanting me to take his class. After meeting Lee Parks, I was hooked.

Now I lean off the bike for every corner. And not just putting the knee out bullshit, but leaning my upper body off the bike. I know everyone hates to hear how I trashed some much younger rider on a much more modern sportbike, but it happens fairly common now. Especially going down the mountain, where skill is the most important factor for going fast. So in other words, the class was worth every penny.

Ya I feel I could def benefit from a class like this. classes are in January and February, just can't get over the feeling it's gonna be too damn cold

I work for a local track day organization and we've actually begun offering this class at some of our two-day events so people have the opportunity to take this one day and apply the things they've learned the next day out on the track.

Those that have taken this course on day 1 have had NOTHING but rave reviews.

Is this class a good class for track noobs? Or do you need to have some track experience already?
