    Did the RH race school today.
    Brilliant!
    I did the premier class on the CBR600s.
    Ended up with 1-1 tuition as the other guy in my group was a bit slow.
    Scored 92.5% from my instructor!
    Well pleased with that.
    Will get a couple of photos up later.

    Definitely Fez!
    I think its another £100 on top of the premier class.
    Overall, I think it's good value considering you use their bikes and it includes insurance too.

    So if you crash you dont have to pay for it ?

    Would you say it will make you a better rider on the road or not

    One of our group did crash!
    No, you don't pay for it.
    I think it has improved my riding as regards body position, corner entry and definitely confidence in what a bike can do.
    All of the bikes, blades and 600s were running batlax BT023 sport touring tyres!
    Grip was awesome. I went faster round corners than I ever have without incident.

    It was manic, ridiculous lean angles and frikkin awesome :)

    Same as you, I was stuck with a slow rider and after the first session I got bumped to another instructor which was 1-1 :D

    I'm so glad I got moved. On the second session I lapped the slower guy twice.

    I didn't get my knee down (I never have), but I did get my toes down at one point which was a ’wtf’ moment :)

    Brilliant fun + they've dropped the prices for the last 2 sessions of the year to fill the remaining spaces. :thumbup:
