They have an ARCII class for next time... I was wondering who your instructor might have been. I know a couple of the leads, as they are SV650 owners. I know what you mean about the thighs - there are a couple roads that I can practice form on up here in LA county, and when practicing proper body position I end up sore for a couple days. I need to ride more.I don't think I would take this class a second time as I'm not interested in sitting through the full lecture portion again, but will be looking into other options in the area to further my progress. If I could do a 2nd round of the class, skipping the lectures and suspension adjustment demo (mine is electronic anyway) - so straight demos/drills only - I would absolutely jump at the chance. Maybe I will try to see about getting a one-off session lined up. Not sure about the likelihood of that, but it would be awesome.
Feel free to reply or message me with any questions, everyone. I would be happy to reply back with thoughts if anyone has any.
For you, Palomar's S6 (South Grade) and East Grade Roads would be good places to practice form without traveling to fast...
