Default Ride Like a Pro West Coast Training

I was on HD Forum and seen Ride Like a Pro West Coast Training. I have the video but no where to practice. So i got on the website found the dates open and had to decide to rent a bike for $150.00 or use my own. I decided to train on my own bike. The course was $150.00 paid with paypal. The scheduled class was from 10am to 3pm.You show up at 9:45. It was held at a campus near LAX off Jefferson, parking lot #7. I met the instructor, Mark. He seamed to be a nice guy. He rode a full dress Harley. He demonstrated each technique on his Harley his confidence and skill was very impressive. He explained how to handle your bike as slow speeds. Each lesson was more difficult but there was enough time after each lesson to go back and practice instead of waiting in line. A couple of us went down, myself I went down once. Another fellow went down several times. No one was hurt. Mark taught us how to step off the bike and the proper way to pick up the bike. I left the course feeling more confident even though I did not finish every exercise. On the way home I took a wrong turn on a blocked off street under construction and had to do a sharp u-turn. I remembered whatI had learned and pulled it off with no sweat. I would recomend this class to anyone who really wants to learn how to handle their bike safely. You can go back within a year and take the course over again at no charge. I will go back and hopefully I will be the guy following Mark closley through the double figure 8 course.
