'''Editor's note''': This track day | '''Editor's note''': This track day was in late 1999, before Jim ever ran an actual race. The organization for the day was courtesy of the [http://www.superbikeschool.com/ California Superbike School]. They do classes around the country, so check their schedule if you're interested. For a good read on the dynamics of turning a motorcycling, take a look at CSS founder Keith Code's book [[Ninja 250 Rider's bookshelf|A Twist of the Wrist 2]]. | ||
The day started off incredibly early for me: 7 a.m. I'm really not a morning person, and combined with the seemingly bitter cold and fog, and my personal haze, I was sort of in a funk. I got a largish boost, however, when I discovered Keith Code himself was going to teach our group all day. I'm not sure if this is how it's normally run, but it was something to look forward to. | The day started off incredibly early for me: 7 a.m. I'm really not a morning person, and combined with the seemingly bitter cold and fog, and my personal haze, I was sort of in a funk.
