I did attend Jason Pridmore Class school, to give you an idea of my goals, I am 48 years old and will not earn a living in racing and no, I do not dream of becoming Rossi.

My goal was quite simple, to become an overall better rider and learing not not panic in a situation. It is very hard to practice on the street, hard braking before an entry. I think that a track is the place to do that and the kind of bike you use is irrelevant. I guarantee you that the instructor could pass you on anything.

Theory is nice but practice is better. I really think that the benefit of a good school will be with you for years to come. I know I save my butt a few times because instead of paniking, I reacted.

Classic bike on a track is no problem, I would choose the track where you do not have strech for miles. I did attend at Loudon and we did not reach much more than 160-180 kmh. Most of the course is under 100 kmh.
