That’s near Iron Butt levels of mileage/time.

While abrupt news to the public, I can’t say I’m totally shocked to hear this after how badly Victory missed the mark on the Octane last year. I mean, that was the perfect opportunity for Polaris to pivot the brand to a sportbike arm. They had the ideal aspirational racebike in the Pikes Peak Project 156 racer, and…
Great bike & nice review, but I’m still waiting for a version that warrants an upgrade from my 2010:
I’ve taken the 2 day Supercamp in Delaware (just 2hrs out of NYC) 3x now. The first two classes had 7x GNChamp Chris Carr as guest coach…like having Valentino Rossi tow you around a trackday. Amazing. Highly recommended for noobs and veteran riders alike…it’s especially good wearing a proper hot shoe.
C. Edwards’ Boot Camp is more of an all-inclusive man-cation. Supercamp in comparison is bare-bones, focusing on riding. Danny does connect the dots to road racing…he does run his RoadRace Factory riders (MotoAmerica) through the same flat track principles after all.
Good point, and that’s working on a car. Now imagine all the parts costing half the price, everything weighing 90% less, and no bodypanels to work around. Everything is exposed and “right there” on a motorcycle.
“...compartmentalize the lessons.”
Like running an engine before an oil change, it helps to warm up a chain with a short ride right before cleaning. It helps with cleaning fluid PENETRATION.
If you’re in NYC or north NJ I know where you can rent a proper KTM enduro and have a guide take you through the woods for relatively cheap (includes all riding gear, gas, and coaching too).
@patrick I like Andrew’s writing. Tone is great…casual. Like telling a buddy an anecdote about his MSF experience over a beer in his garage, but the buddy is about to take the class himself so he’s being really detailed. I personally like reading BRC articles as I was a RiderCoach and training site manager for 8 years…
