Some shots from NJMP [56k warning]

I would definitely recommend it, at least up to Level 3. Unless you are going racing, you don’t really need to do a level 4. Level 4 basically is private coaching, you tell them what you want to work on or need to improve and they will do a program for you to sort it out.

If you bring your bike, I think it is $450 for any level or $675 with their S1000RR. odds are you will want to pay the extra to ride the S1000RR, unless probably you have your own race bike and that you try to work on you riding with. The S1000RR have a $1250 crash deposit, just don’t crash it and you will be fine :lol.

As much as I like the S1000RR, any 600 will probably be a better school bike, well at least for Thunderbolt. The straight is simply not long enough for such high power machine and the S1000RR will do 140 mph in 3rd, which is about as fast as you can go before T1. As much as I love the quick shift that is standard on the bike, I did all my drills and lapping essentially in 3rd, even the the instructors rarely use 4rd. I mean I can shift prematurely just for the sake of it, but it is kind of pointless. Even in 3rd the bike’s power is more than enough to launch you out of any corner at warp speed.

If you want bike time, should have done the KTM thing at Mid-Ohio. Getting to rip a RC8R on the track for a whole day for that price is a bargain no matter how you look at it. I think the school will be back to Thunderbolt in September. If you are interested let me know, I might do my level 3 too…:ninja:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

It is addictive. This is why I don’t have a flat screen tv, xbox 360 or a new and badly need new computer. Compare to doing that, all those stuff seemed kind of pointless to spend money on…:lol
