Annoyed,

I have Twist of the Wrist II. I intend to go to his school or to Freddie Spencer's. Code now does his school in Las Vegas as well as the California circuits. Nice to know we have other riders here.

A question: Do you carry on your person when you ride, or in a tank bag? If on your person, how are you holstering? I wear a TourMaster suit when I ride, so I am thinking either shoulder holster for a cross-draw or the tank bag.

Thanks,

Mike

For those of you who don't know, Keith Code is a legend in the racing world. He runs the California Superbike school. The Annoyed Man, you keep good company.

Greg,

I would suggest you take the BRC (MSF Basic Rider Course) at Awesome Cycles. See the link above. There are a variety of motorcycles there to choose from in taking the course. You use their bike for the course, not your own. They have cruisers (Honda Rebel 250, and Suzuki GZ250), sport bikes (Kawasaki Ninja 250), and standards (Honda CB250 Nighthawk). Anyone of these is a great starter bike. I prefer the CB250 Nighthawk, as it is an upright standard and probably the more classical of the lineup. Even experienced riders benefit from this course. A lot of older riders were taught bad habits back from the days when we did not have as much science as we have today. Enjoy the learning experience and scoot safe.

Here's a picture of my own CB250. I have since added a windshield, engine bars, and a tail rack.
