any austalians been to riding school?

Superbike school seems to be the most popular but with 4 levels and 400$ for each ..... its pretty much on the dear side. I know its worth it but I'll have to wait.

Just wondering if any of you have tried HART advanced rider training or STAY-UPRIGHT etc and what your opinions are on them and others out there.

Sure have. Did Stay Upright Advanced about 10 years ago and Superbike School Levels 1 & 2 about 6 & 4 respectively.

If you're new to road riding, were an untrained avereage rider in your yuouth and returning and have never done any racing then I'd do Stay Upright Adv (which I think is at most intermediate and a bit anal about theior "system" approach).

If you're a reasonably confident rider, have been riding for years, understand roadcraft, buffer space etc. Then go for the superbike school as it teaches technique.

Just my 2c worth

I get what you mean. I might have a good think about it. Going thru the system approach again might be a good idea.

you planning to go back for levels 3 and 4?

I'll definitely do L3 at some point. As it was a few years ago I did L2, I should really redo that and then do L3 close in time. That makes quite an expense (i..e $800) which is a little more than I can afford at the moment :-) .
