Hi Everyone,

I'm Misti.  Coach with the California Superbike School, former AMA Pro road racer, mom of two little rippers and moto-journalist.  Just got home from 5 awesome days coaching in Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. Just found this forum and thought I'd join and say hi.  I love chatting about riding skills and techniques and chatting with fellow riders. :)  Hello!!

Fantastic to have you here! I think you may have coached a few members!

Hey Misti
Rodney here. I took L4 on Monday this year.
We had a couple other guys take L1.

You may remember me as the guy on the R12GS, or in previous years I have worn a Kilt to the track at Barbers.

Great to have you.

COOL! Maybe I can finally learn how to ride those darn things after all!  :D

Welcome to the site! Food, snacks, are on the right and the beer is in the fridge! Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.  ;)

Welcome aboard.

Hey Misti I remember you from your AMA run. I bet that was a blast and a ridiculous amount of hard work. I briefly stopped in at your pits at Barber that year. I'm friends with Jeffro, he had a lot of us cheering for you and Josh.

Full disclosure: I did use Google to refresh my memory. It's hard to believe that was ten years ago.

Hi Misti!

My name is Ben and I was one of the L1 riders out at Barber last Monday. Thank you again for a terrific program! Everyone enjoyed it immensely and are looking forward to bringing a few new people with us next year.

Welcome to the forum!

Yay!!  That was a blast and a ridiculous amount of hard work!  You guys were all awesome at Barber when I raced there.  I had SO MUCH FUN and it's one of my favourite tracks ever!!  I too can't believe that was 10 years ago!!  I have a kid that just turned 9 that is racing already!  YIKES. 

You guys said you wanted pictures  ;D ;D ;D

Yea!  Love watching the kids ride and learn.  My 6 year old girl was ripping it up on the dirt track yesterday.  I wish I started at 4 years old instead of 24!  Awesome!

Misti that mini Motard is very cool. And dragging Knee on it is even cooler.
