CSS level 2 - re-visited

aws · 19-May-2005, 15:55

Having done levels 1-4 already, I went to Silverstone yesterday on level 2 again.
Money well spent if ever you're looking for some training / refresher.
For me, level 2 is the one I practise most when out both riding and driving as it covers vision.
On the bike, I use the skills taught on this level most in my opinion.
I had our erstwhile Riding God, David Cook as my riding guru, which was good too - great to see you David - and thanks.
Finally getting to grips with the bike too, and the track is the best environment to do it on.
And it stayed dry!
If you're still unsure if the CSS is for you, I can really recommend it, and I'm not even on a sports bike so everyone gets to ride around the outside of me on the straights in particular!
Great day out.

Have to agree with Steve on this one, the tyre shouldnt look that wrecked.

What was the track like, I believe the CSS have switched to Stowe circuit now...any good?

Looks a bit poxy to me from what I have seen?

I did level 1 at Stowe yesterday, and thought the circuit was fine for learning the cornering techniques, but if you're exepcting long straights and sweeping bends then no....

To give you an idea, I took my 750SS, and could use 3rd gear all the way round.

looks like a wet tyre run in the dry

BINGO!
Tetol - you know your tyres.
These are "not for road use" and it was a short, dry track, perfect for supermotos, not for wets as it was dry!
It's short, twisty, no straights bar 1 and I had an absolutely ace day hooning about, tyres sqirming and shifting.
David Cook followed me and I rather thinks he enjoyed the show!
His comments were along those lines.
Think he was intrigued about how much the bike actually moved about but really only moved an inch or so in reality.
Fab day out!
