CLASS News - what's up?

Welcome 2012! We want to wish you all the best for 2012 and we hope we'll be seeing you along the way. There's lots in store, and some of it is...

2012 means even better prices on Dunlop Tires through CLASS. I just scoured the web and I'm pretty sure we have the best deal on Dunlop Q2s and 211GPAs I can find! How much you ask? Sorry, it's a price too good to advertise. But if you're a CLASS student, you can give us a call and we'll let you know - plus you can order them from us at the same time. And remember, they come fresh out of the oven at Dunlop in NY so these black round things have not been sitting around forever in some dark cold warehouse somewhere. They are delivered to your door and there's no charge for shipping! Springtime is just around the corner - isn't it time to get those tires ordered? (805) 933-9936...

The D-Day CLASS is the coolest thing to come out of the imagination of Reg Pridmore in a long time. Just 12 riders, two whole days, and all the learning, riding and fun you can have with Reg and the team. We'll even be using one-on-one video to help you really see and get the most out of your experience. The May D-Day is *SOLD OUT* so if you're planning on joining us, better get on it! If you missed May, don't worry, we'll do it again in September. Hope you can join us! Learn more here.

Have you heard about no deposit til February 2012? Right now you can pre-enroll in Gingerman, VIR or Oregon Raceway Park CLASS in 2012 and pay nothing til February. So far we have had a ton of interest and riders are getting their space reserved for these awesome days next summer. Take advantage of us! Learn more here.

Since 2005 Force 5 has been a group of extra special CLASS friends - riders who come to CLASS, a lot. We've sharpened our pencil for 2012 to send an extra Thank You to those of you who are so loyal and who's faces we see month in and month out. You already "get it" and we want to make sure you get just a little more. Check out the new Force 5 here.

We are way more than just a track day, but we are also a great track day! With lots of classroom chalk talk by Reg and on track coaching by some of the best in the business, it's a great experience. This letter was written by a 22 year old who totally gets CLASS. We were blown away by it, and hope it helps shed insight on what we're about... - read more

While we're on the subject the feedback page has been updated - check out what lots of riders thought about their day with CLASS.

RegEdge is back. Reg is now helping individual riders master their street and track riding. Whatever level you're at, Reg can help you get more out of yourself and your machine. More info soon but meantime, here's the flyer that tells what's up. Get the edge... This rider did: "Good day at Buttonwillow. Got my knee down in the last left hander on the track once, which was very unnerving and unexpected. I hope to get used to that. Your tips and advice were very helpful, as was the track map. I think I was able to push more and and generate more lean angle than I have in the past, and I was able to trust the bike more. All your comments and suggestions were very effective, so just wanted to give you some feedback. I am looking forward to riding at another Class event when you guys return to California."

Smooth Talker... Reg isn't the only one around here to talk smooth. Ted Holman has had his fingers tapping out some vibes, and there's even a video. What the heck am I talking about? Check it out...

What a fantastic ending to the CLASS season! A day that looked to threaten with rain turned into a perfect dry calm day in the high desert at Streets of Willow. Lots of good friends, huge improvements in all of your riding - and not a single get-off -- made for an awesome way to send off another great season of CLASS. Thank you to every single one of you who came to CLASS in 2011 and we hope to ride with you again in 2012!

What else can we say? It was a fantastic couple of days out at Streets of Willow! We were once again blessed with perfect weather and an awesome group of students! The Canadian contingent had a blast on the Feel Like a Pro 250 Ninja missiles :) Thanks to Dat and Ambrose and the Pacific Riding School team in Vancouver for putting together a really fun group to come ride with CLASS. You guys are awesome. That, along with some new faces and a lot of regulars and don't forget Zach's barbeque made for an awesome time. Can't wait for 11-11-11 and we'll do it all over again! You comin?

Friday Oct 14th was an absolutely amazing day at Infineon Raceway. One of the best days ever, and we've been out there a bit! Huge thanks to Kevin Kone, Ken Wagner and Gary Meyers for getting your groups together. Huge thanks to Dito Milian for photos and Dave Moss (feelthetrack.com) for suspension work, but most of all, thanks to each and every one of you who made it such and incredible day at the track. The weather was perfect and though we were missing a couple of our regulars, the CLASS team was awesome.

If you haven't had a chance to check them out -- Dito and Got Blue Milk Photography was with us at Infineon and got some awesome pics. If you still need to buy yours, pop on over to gotbluemilk.com and take care of biz.

Oregon Raceway Park! All I can say is WOW! You head out to the middle of nowhere and find this absolute "gem" of a racetrack. It's twisty and technical, blind and ballsy - and we enjoyed every minute of it. Video will follow. Thanks to all of you who were there with us and to Craig, Mason and Connie Hansen for helping make this event a big success! Heading home now to get ready for Streets of Willow next week...

Seen it yet? A few fun laps of VIR - Reg on his CBR600RR. Check it out!

What a fantastic couple of days we had at VIR! Full schools and perfect weather made for a great time for all. Big thanks to all of you who helped spread the word and to Morton's BMW in Frederickburg, VA.

Military Discounts! If you are military and have been to the middle east in the past 10 years as active duty, take advantage of our $100 off discount for any CLASS of your choice.

A Noobs First Experience... big thanks to Stephen Durham for your great write up published in the BMW-ON magazine. Stephen came to VIR for the first time last summer and had the time of his life. He tells a great story and you can read it right here.

Hey, did you catch the issue of Cycle News that ran an Archives piece on a little of Reg's colorful past - his racing career. We saved a copy - check it out.

Great eats and bike friendly: 'Unlike some places where you might find "No room at the Inn" or a seat near the kitchen, at these establishments you can feel totally welcome and be assured that you will find the best service possible'. Brian at Backroads recently directed us to a section on his website that lists a number of restaurants that he personally recommends as being motorcycle friendly. He's just getting it started and plans to extend coverage around the country. For now they are up and down the East Coast from Vermont to Florida so if you'll be traveling those parts this spring, be sure to check them out here.
