First, hello to everyone. I've been "lurking" for a bit and have learned
quite a bit from the veteran ( and the newbies, too) riders here.
Okay, my question - has anyone taken the Lee Parks' Total Control course and
if so, what are your thoughts? I've read the book and he has a few ideas
just a bit different from what might be considered the normal mantra for
riding.
Thanks.

I have not taken the course.
I found this page interesting reading.

After seeing the photo of the cruiser with the frame just about touching the
ground, I'm not sure I'd want to take my bike through the course. : )
I'm also intrigued by the reference to "racetrack" courses. I didn't know
such things exist.
I think I'll take the MSF experienced rider course first, ... : )

And what's up with the guy on the left who is holding up the motorcycle
using his knee?
Is that some kind of a strength exercise of what?
Does he then toss the bike up and go to the other knee?
