The best 200 bucks you'll ever spend.....

Forget raising your tranfers 3/8 ths of a poofteenth. Bugger the spark plugs that'll give you an extra .25 of a HP. Throw those new emulators into the back of the cupboard.....
If you want to ride faster, with more confidence and have a ton of fun, sign yourself up to one of Lee Hogans "Building Champions Program" clinics when there's one near you.  ;)

Like a lot of people here I've never had any proper 'coaching' and I must say I was a little perturbed at the thought of having three very quick young guys on modern four-bangers (Lee couldn't be there today but will be tomorrow) rolling their eyes at the mistakes I've managed to take on over the past thirty odd years.

It made no difference that I was riding an eleven year old 2T. Or my age (which I was sure would call for some attention). Nope.
These three lads were super proffessional, courteous, not hung-up on themselves and taught me more about what I can do on a bike in one day than I've picked up through all the white-knuckle determination beforehand.  ;)

I can't believe there's another day to go.... ;D

Now, now Pauline....at least he rides...and your right Ross, riding schools are very benifical and alot of FUN. I dont know anyone who has been to one and not got something out of it...plus you usually get to hang out with some guns....shit, we might even get you up for CD8.....you can sit on one side, GMC on the other and matchstick boy can sit in the middle.....sort of... ;D

That's ok Hoony. I still have your DVD that I bought entitled "How to get a workout by just trying to start your motorcycle" sittin' in the cabinet there whenever I wanna think of workin' up a sweat...... ;)

* I've tried watching it in one sitting but I always end up dozing off. :-[ (mind you at four hours in length it is a bit of an epic.....)

Yep, I did a Proart riding course over two days, the first was MX and the 2nd Enduro. Solid Gold. I learnt more in those two days than I thought was possible, you soon realise that it not impossible to to teach an old dog new tricks.

Drink plenty of fluids.......

Just back after the second day and all I can say is that I need a bit of a lay down. :-[. My idea of a clinic was a little bit of riding, lots of snacks and coffee's and a fair amount of gas-baggin'
I reckon I went through 40 lts of fuel nearly!
