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?

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

Pretty good variety in my class. At least three riders had more than three decades of riding experience, two were noobs (both had heavy cruiser bikes), and two trailered out track bikes. The rest were modern sportbikes. One of the track bikes (modified R6) still had the factory stickers on the tires.

The only time we went fast was warming up the tires. The exercises were done individually and at slow speed so the instructors could critique our form. It was humbling to do the exercise in front of the instructors and other riders. The main thing is to get the basics of looking through the turn and leaning the upper body off the bike done right.

Speed and style can be added later. But at the end of the class, it was surprising to see a fully-dressed Harley circling the cones at the same
rate as the track bikes. Highly recommended.

A buddy of mine who has quite a bit of track experience took it and said that a lot of the stuff in the beginning was way too basic for him, but that by the end of the day he was learning some cool stuff.
