Lee Parks and Total Control are coming to Ontario
- Thread starter cutekill
- Start date
Hey Paul, what happed to David's Bike and trailer demo. You didn't post them.. PS. I have been working real hard since my level 1 course. Feel I will be ready and am totally excited to do the level 2.
I am not sure anyone got any, if so I would like to see them as well! here is one from last year (At a distance with a lower heaveir bike)
And just to show the trailer has more uses as well, I was in a wedding last year, (Being in the wedding meant I could not ride the bike) so someone rode the bike brining the bride to the ceremony, and then left with the bride and groom!
Thanks Paul.
I took several on the June 23 Level 2 course. I'll try to twist Paul's arm to post them. If you shoot me a pm with an e-mail address I will send them to you.
Thanks Paul and Stephen for the L2 photos. Here's my comparison for both levels.
L1 - Start
L1 - Mid
L1 - End
L2
Gotta get my chest closer to the tank... but huge difference compared to before L1.

I left them at home. ;-p
With all seriousness, did anyone drop their bike on TC1 or TC2?
I did...stupid newbie mistake though...was just finished an exercise, Lee Parks was stepping up to show me the picture, I stopped ...but didn't put my foot down....over she went
Yeah... Didn't want to use an aftermarket street fighter headlight.

I did, twice. The first time was during the L1 practice last year. I went too far on the sides over an area that had all the dirt, my front tire slip and I low sided (hence why no fairings). And I went down again on L2, but because I was pushing a bit too hard (and too much bike lean, not enough body lean). My pegs had been dragging for a while, until my front tires gave up.
But from what I heard you rarely see anyone going down on these courses. You just have to take your time and practice the techniques that they will teach/show you. And if you are really worried, a set of frame sliders will do you wonders.
the frame slider saved my fairing
The last time I went down my rotors warped and I already have sliders!
By the way, are we allowed to record our personal runs during practice? I've got a Contour I want to use to analyze my mistakes later.

I have a Drift that I would like to leave on.

I've seen videos on youtube taken by people during their courses in the states. But I'm sure David or Donna will comment on it here.

Actually by the end of class you will tell us what you are having difficulty with and figuring out how to fix it!
