Star Motorcycle School

It's an excellent course. Took it at Second Creek Raceway here in CO before it relocated to Pueblo.

is that raceway open for tack days?

The Pueblo track is open for track days, but Second Creek closed two years ago. A new track, supposedly state of the art, is due to open east of Denver near Byers this autumn. Will be known as something like "High Plains Raceway".

I had heard at

that the pueblo track you must have a racing license to ride on... any truth?

sfarson · 04-01-2008, 10:51 PM

You know, I heard this a couple of years ago but know many who've ridden there without a license.

BTW, and probably unique to me... while I felt the Star School was excellent I didn't really learn that much. It mostly reinforced what I'd already read in books. I gained the most from the two days of practice with instructors following, and two fast laps around the track as pillion with Jason Pridmore piloting.

... one is hit in the head with the realization the bike is far more capable than we let it be.

yeah I'm pretty sure I'll be doing the 2 day... was it extra for the pillion laps

Isn't it Reg Pridmore's, not Jason?
