Anybody been there?

Thinking about attending Keith Code's Superbike School this August. It'll be my first time on a track on any bike, let alone my CR, so I'll obviously be enrolling as a beginner.

Anybody been the Thunderbolt venue (Millville, NJ) or participated in one of Keith's schools?

Thanks for the input.

I ride there all the time and in fact will be there Monday 4/12. I've also taken Level 1 and 2 at the Code schools.

Take the class, you won't regret it. If you have no track experience, Code's schools are a great way to get started. Level 1 is more of a riding skills course that a track or race school.

Thunderbolt is a fast track. It is has a few turns that can catch you out, if you are not paying attention. If you remember that it is a school, not a race, and ride with in your abilities; you will have a blast.

Post here or PM me if you have more questions.

Its an older video, but still gives you a good feel for what a lap is like.
