    Whoa! I just got back from the best 2 days I've spent on a bike. Having done multiple track schools, I can say that, good and fun as they are, they don't hold a candle to what you learn at Fast Freddie Spencer's school [http://www.fastfreddie.com].

    I have never been so controlled, smooth or fast before. Their instruction is incredible - not so much the method, although that's excellent, but rather the content. Why doesn't everyone else teach these things?

    At the end of day 1 I was dragging knees at will, trail braking, rapidly downshifting and braking (simultaneously), and driving hard out of corners with more control than ever before. And all the while actually working (exerting) less!

    I could not believe how effective their advice is and now I really can't wait for my upcoming track time to groove it all in. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED despite the expense (part of which I won back at the craps table - Vegas: strategic location for this school. Your results may vary).

    If I was a famous motorcycle racer, and this is true about not paying employees and refunding participants monies, I'd be in Spencer's ass every chance I got!

    it aint right that he can be on speed smiling and yucking it up if this is true, at least come clean with the folks who are owed money (riders and instructors)... I know every business runs into trouble, but to be screwing the public you are broadcasting to? shame on you

    There is probably more to this than we know, especially if it's in the courts/an ugly divorce.

    Hopefully everyone will eventually get what they are owed.

    I don't know that him putting on a brave face for tv should be taken that he doesn't care.

    I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
