did I say there was anything wrong with taking a course
I would prolly be one of your "weak" riders, ask me if I give a shit, I'm comfortable with my skills
take a course, read a book, even do a track day, you still have to ride to improve your skills, the street is to varied in technical skills for someone to be magicly expert after taking a course without practice in real street situations
there's more than cornering and stopping quick, the ability to read road surface, pick the right line thru hazards , to anticipate hazards are skills that you won't get anywhere else
