Has anyone attended the LA course? I would like to attend. Wonder what they consider a group, and how does it impact the rate?

If you haven't already done so, you two guys should exchange emails/PM's.

Looking at some of the post, nothing negative, maybe I'll look into it next time I have a chance, guess the worst I can do is learn something new.

I think its available every where my wife bought the DVD and practice then took the class worked real great on her. Myself I did all those tricks on my first try didn't feel was necessary to take a class.Practice is very effective and we often go to empty parking lots and freshen up all the skills.

This is the key. You can take all teh best training form all the best instructors, but if you don't practice what you';ve learned, you lose it.

I've taken two professionally guided classes when I rode sportbikes and it made all the difference in the world in how I rode. It made riding on the streets so much safer. I imagine anything where you are being taught better technique would benefit you.

Thank you for the info. I was hoping to go through the class with Jerry as the head instructor. The classes held in FL seem like they are a lot of fun.

Ride safe.

Obviously, I can only speak for the class I took from Jerry in Fla. It was great. You won't regret it.
