When you do Mike... if you want to do the 1st couple sessions in Novice that's cool. But I think that if you get familiar with the racing line as soon as I did, you'll want to move up to Intermediate.

I wish I had, cause I could never get a clear lap in Novice, I felt like I lapped everyone at least once. At least in Intermediate, the pace is quicker & I rather be passed than be held up constantly lap after lap...

Just FYI..

what's kinda speeds do you guys reach? I'd love to take the motard up there but not if guys are flying around at mid 100's. Don't exactly feel like becoming an obstacle. But if its a tight technical course with sub 100mph speeds Im all over it!

It depends... I was obeying all the rules, so I was giving people lots of room. There were a few idiots that didn't obey the rules and where passing on the inside rather aggressively, they moved them up.

It's up to you, just remember that in intermediate, they will stuff you on the inside. Don't think you will be up to speed with the top intermediate guys, some expert guys go in int to practice passing.
