How much would one of those school's cost? That would be a good investment and frickin fun!
9000 rpms is not good launching on a crappy track...
wait y'all are talking about those twisty kind of tracks

The best tip I can give a street rider is take those earphones out of your helmet and give them a toss at tripple digits!
If you rob 30% of your attention span with music, that only leaves 70% to work with. If you trim another 30% for a safety buffer that only leaves 40% of your attention to apply to riding skills. As we all know when you aren't paying attention, bad shitz happen.

amen.... I like having the music.. but at interstate speeds my helmet is too noisy to hear anything anyways... so unplug and watch the dang road!
I have to disagree, my music helps me to relax and focus, with out it I am all over the place and a nervous rider. Just keep the music at a nice level that way it provides a nice backgroud while riding, but not so loud you cant hear traffic around you.
Gah! What kind of tracks do you ride that have GRAVEL on them? ? ?
lean more, look through the turn, pray. I use breaks during a turn if needed EVER SO SLIGHTLY. NOT THE REAR BRAKE!! Front only. But if you look strait off where you think you are going to end up, that is where you end up. You bike can do more than YOU can, but the TRACK is really the best place to learn about that.
I got your back
The little bit extra stopping power your rear gives is just not worth the high risk of using the rear brake in a maximum(panic/emergency) braking situation. Hello highside
Enter the post ho
Hey WWJD, he's just a super post ho who invaded the thread.

Pull in the clutch and turn. You will be surprised how much speed will decrease as you go through the turn. Don't panic, turn the bike, the bike will do more than you think it can. Now that's easier said than done, speaking from experience.
hehe thanks man. I agree with your highside scenarioI got your back

now everybody viewing at home going, "hmmmm no rear brake eh? what do those track junkies know that my MSF instructors don't? hmmmmm"
I'm all for using the rear brake, <span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>IF</span> you practice emergency/maximum braking at least once(1/2 session) every couple weeks. Then you possess the skills to keep from highsiding.hehe thanks man. I agree with your highside scenarioI got your back

Now how many riders, that don't do trackdays or race, practice this??
Almost none, there are exceptions, but very few.
I'm doing at least 13 trackdays this year and I am still not willing to risk the highside for the tiny bit extra the rear will give you.
doubtful. my suspension is setup properlyYou guys keep using just the front and I will keep out braking you into the corner!!! OUT
