No disguise bro. He could be his twin. Maybe a little taller and not so green.

I don't have much information on whether it will be done here in NZ or not, but either way a good start is to actually read his books and watch the DVD.

I have improved after reading a few chapters only and haven't read the whole book yet but my strips are down. And he does outline some really good aspects of cornering which you otherwise wouldn't pick even after years of riding and experience.

I know Keith Codes son is on KB and he surely should be able to confirm this with you Leong, but I will leave it to him to post on here otherwise PM me for his username.

I did levels 1,2,3 & 4 in the UK. Without doubt the best money I have ever spent on my riding. You can forget lusting after the latest bike, go faster bits, exhausts etc.... the best thing you can do is train your brain... The CSS is the best way I have found of doing this.... no matter whether you are a novice, experienced rider or racer you will get something from these courses. It really will transform your track and road riding.

In the UK, Andy Ibbott teaches the courses and also coaches racers (Including 125 GP champ Thomas Luthi and British Supersport rider Leon Camier who was sat in the same class as me on level 3...

I can't praise the course high enough. The techniques and drills really work and are valuable to any rider.

I did lvl1 in LA a few years ago. It was expensive because I had to hire gear and the bike but it was well worth it.

How big are the classes? I'd assume they must limit numbers, which must increase the cost - really unsure how successful it could be long term in a country like ours with such a small population - and a hell bent mentality on getting everything CHEAP ( sorry been watching too much current affairs )

Next trackdays at Taupo March 2 and 9... will we see you there?

I've just booked Level 1 with CSS at Rockingam (UK) on 9th July - can't wait - though I'll miss the kidney I had to sell to pay for it

'lets teach squids how to ride.'

Squids can't ride. They don't have the opposable thumbs needed to operate the indicator switch.

I did the PI Level 1 course last November and that day was simply AWESOME. All 4 levels are accomodated on the track and each group gets about 6 laps per session and there are 5 sessions for the day.

Yes it is expensive (inclusive of hiring their bikes) but money well spent I reckon.

Hell yeah that'll be wicked if they started a school at Taupo, but do we have the numbers to support it in NZ????
I'd attend if it was here for sure.

That was what I was wondering, but the main cost would be the staff, do a few concurrent weekends here in a break in Aus..... ship the bikes fly the staff maybe

I'd be happy to use my own bike and gear as it's insured for the track but they would need their's I guess,
I wounder what the cost would be?? I'd cough up $500 for a day like that for sure but would that be enough

[R6_kid:Me]

I think there would be a real opportunity for it to get setup at Hampton downs, of course Taupo does have the benefit of being 'half way'.

In saying that Hampton Downs does have a lot of elevation change, and as we aren't all racers, that is somewhat closer to what we can expect on the road than taupo is.

Just to give you an idea of rip off Britain, my day at Rockingam's costing £369 (about NZ$1000) - and that's on my own bike! Not sure if I'll ever save enough again to do level 2, lol

BUT, it'd be way cheaper in NZ I reckon.
