Funny thing is, Andy Ibbott who heads up California Superbike School in the UK also writes for MCN, and the advice he gives could have come straight from the 'Roadcraft' manual. If you talk to Andy (and I have) he will tell you that track and road are not the same, but that you can apply techniques from one to the other. Track based techniques just need to be modified to allow for road conditions.
A mantra pinched from flying school which is equally applicable to us-"There are old bikers, and there are bold bikers,-there are no old, bold, bikers!"
Have fun, but ride safe-I have no desire to be going to any more funerals.
