Re: What's Your Dream School?
my dream schools aren't offered right now. That'd be an edwards or rossi school.

Given my choices now, I'd take fast freddie or schwantz at laguna.

or ron haslam at Assen or Imola if I could leave the country with MY bike and ride anywhere...

Say what? Have you ever met either of these guys? I can assure you both Freddie and Kevin are extremely nice people and both are excellent teachers. I happen to like Kevin's style more than Freddie's, but it's very chocolate and vanilla and either school is a good choice.

I've met both and Kevin was super-cool when I got his autograph.

Re: What's Your Dream School?
Interesting that no one has mentioned Keith Code..

It would be awesome to take a course from Fast Freddie or Kevin, because of the respect I have for them as riders and their school environments --- But the question really is, who would be the better teacher for someone like myself --a committed intermediate rider with no delusions of grandeur, other than to make it to the 'advanced' trackday level without taking anyone out or busting myself up.

Maybe Jason Pridmore's school would be the next best step.
