If I want to hire one of the CSS bikes is it still the mahoosive deposit with CSS that I recall from their website?
Also, what sort of instruction is on offer for this? I know it says hints and tips but that can vary, do any of their instructors follow you, and give little bits of advice, or is it fairly generic on body position. (So I'd expect to be told off for riding on one bum cheek for the umpteenth time ) I'm not sure about doing the full CSS experience, as I've heard mixed things, so was hoping to see how I get on with their style of instruction before booking a CSS course. I'm thinking Silverstone as it's less of a pain to get to. I'll confirm when I get back from Austin. |

From what I hear CSS is good for beginners. Those with loads of bike experience, track and or road, are the ones that tend to knock them a bit, though not in all cases. If I wanted to learn track riding they would probably be my goto. |

Their coaching is primarily about cornering control, not track riding per se, so is more transferable for road riding, which is of more use to me. |

Sounds like you might benefit more from an i2i machine control course rather than a, mainly, track oriented one. |

Again I'll reiterate the point that this question is directed to people who have attended this event before and is around what the "hints and tips from CSS instructors" amounts to, as I would hopefully see if I got on with their style of instruction/methodology and perhaps book on one of their courses. Also FAO Slob as with Pegboy is there a cut off date for booking? |

I think I might do Silverstone and hire a 959.
Add me to the list of names if you are keeping one.

I still think an i2i would suit you better. |

Maybe 1 2 1 coaching for you on knowing when not to use your keyboard may be more beneficial for all of us.. |
