The weather was fine, none of the rain the weatherman was talking about earlier in the week. We had a high of 14 and I was comfortable all day.
My cb1100 was the second most popular bike there. A guy had a custom sportster made to look like an old XR1200r with some custom parts from California.
It was a long day, was up at 5:30 to beat the rush, make it there for 7:30 since I avoided the major highways. Met Lee and reduced my tire pressure as instructed. The day was broken up into short class sessions followed by drills in the lot. It was supposed to go from 8-6pm but at 7:30 they were still talking and answering questions. I'm a very new rider, but some of the exercises confudled guys with 30 years of experience! The culminating drill was a figure 8 using all the steps we were taught. Riding home I was trying to gradually incorporate some of the techniques I learned . It was loads of fun and the other riders were all great people! I will get a DVD in a week or so with some photos of me at various point in the day. In one of the photos I have my engine guard pretty close to the ground, surprised there were no sparks.
