California Superbike School came to Oahu?

WTF???

lame ass marines have all the fun.  Angry
Originally it was Marines only, but later opened up to all branches due to many open slots.
And it wasn't strictly military, as I know of at least one civvy that attended.  Grin

I bet the school was put on because the Marines are hoping to stem their rising fatality rate from motorcycling accidents. Hopefully some people learned more than they would at MSF. Not putting MSF down here but their course may not have the same impact on young impressionable brains as Code's school does.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

And why must you discriminate against middle aged  drink and  coffee addled minds?

it kind of ties in w/the new certs they have for riding.  you're required to take the ERC or "sportbike riders course" every three years, which pretty much coincides w/your tags. no class=no riding on post.

as rad as a track school down here is (and I am SO signing up if they offer to DoD), I can't help but think that now some of the riders will feel justified in riding aggressively after this.

"oh, it's fine. I know what I'm doing, now."


:edit:
of course... if they stay down here permanantly, and do this like once a month, then I'm selling the benz and buying a truck  Grin

 I know exactly what you mean. "I'm good to go. I've been trained"

You might only help the ignorant ones. There's usually no hope for the dumb ones. You have to pick your time & place wisely.

It's ironic in a way that they would do the school on an airstrip. Better than no track at all but still.........

I asked the local chapter of the SCCA this question when at one of the autocross events at the stadium.  They looked at me like I was from Mars.  No  bacon for them!!
