Nope, just 4 1-3 has you doing different drills then putting together everything you learned. 4 is where you get 1 on 1 tuition (or 2 to 1 but definitely not a lot, anyway) and you practice what you feel you need to, and agree it with the instructor.
easy tiger - who has bad mouthed the days? everyone as far as iâm aware has been positive about them
i merely making the observation, which you have effectively supported that going on the course doesnât automatically make massive improvements - its depends on the rider.
lol, wasnât aiming at you, heard ppl moaning up box hill and down bury hill about how theyâve spent all this money and hasnât helped them on the road.
Its all down to the rider at the end of the day
Thats crazy. CSS teach you the dynamics of cornering. How you apply that to the road is up to you. When I did my level 2 there was this guy there who thought he was the dogs ****** and wouldnât listen to anything the instructors would try and help him with. I was with him when we did the lean bike, others were listening to the instructors and getting on well. When he couldnât get it he just got all angry at the instructor and stormed off saying he couldnât do it 'cos the bike was ****!! Some people just donât understand what theyâre there for!
By the way guys Iâm pretty sure when CSS are at brands they canât do the off track skills due to lack of space which is why I have always gone to Silverstone. Might be different now but could be worth checking. You only use the lean bike at level 2 and the skid bike on level 3 anyway I think.
Haha! Well he didnât quite start hammering the ground with his fists but we all pissed ourselves when heâd disappeared round the corner in a cloud of steam!
Reading all this I canât wait till July! seems like such a long way to go.
Mike youâre right, they donât use the lean bike in level1, shame really, but will keep that in mind when I come to book level 2 if all goes well. Is silverstone a good track for this?
CSS isnât held on the Silverstone track, itâs on the Stowe circuit which is very small and not technical at all⌠Iâd suggest checking Rockingham out instead.
Yeah sorry your right itâs the Stowe circuit which is in the middle of Silverstone. Itâs very small and the surface is very hectic with lots of joins that are slippery especially in the wet. This can be looked at as more technical though so potentially advantageous. I have done a couple of track days at Rockingham though and I agree CSS must be very good there as itâs very twisty and technical.
Apart from that, the actual tuition was superb. I didnât find level 1 was telling me anything ground breaking that I didnât know before (I had just read both Twist of the wrist books so I guess that helped)âŚ
But it was more the way you were taught how to think about your riding and break the elements down into sections, practice them over and over, and then move on.
Itâs worth the money IMO because I believe I am faster / safer (even though I may not actually be :laugh: )
OoopsâŚIâve just gone and booked Level 2, 10th June at Rockingham.
There goes ÂŁ400 out of my track day budget :w00t: :laugh:
Heâs a racer they donât learn him good to spell :hehe:Bâs geek school, I like it.âhmm⌠in the corner you lean well my young padoin mhehehe, strong in the way of the force you areâ
well i just read pb and they answered my worries about the 848âs reliabilty, looks really reliable so hmmmm could really be tempted to get it now :ermm:
Dunno yet bud, will see what the budget is like and how the time fits in around the DD racing dates. will keep you posted, would really like to and would probably prove quite useful.
I wouldnât buy a 1098, donât think itâs good to commute on day in day out, dry clutch is tough for me, and I would never use itâs way too powerful engine to its full potential, even on track, I donât use half of mine
I think for the experienced rider/racer, a great bike no doubt, for someone like meâŚnot yet.
