    Guys and Gals,

    I've been exchanging emails with Dave regarding his suspension class (see other threads on this forum for the details) and I suggested that he offer this at Grattan. He's telling me he could potentially do the 8/8 or 8/9 dates (or possibly both if there was enough interest I suppose), but the magic number to make it worth his trip is 8 on a single day.

    From the class reviews it sounds like the information is invaluable and I think taking his class at such a technical track will would pay huge dividends in tire wear, suspension performance and more importantly the knowledge gained.

    Who would be interested in this and do you have a date preference?

    Details here for those unfamiliar with what this all about - http://feelthetrack.com/2015-schedule-calendar/suspension-school/

    $350. Understand this is in addition to the cost of the STT day. It pretty much pays for itself when your tire wear improves especially on a bigger bike like yours.

    I would love to do this. So it looks like it's a one day thing right?

    I would be in for the 9th for sure.

    Yes one day unless you're a slow learner or have a lot of disposable income. :thumb:

    So far it looks like we have the following folks interested:

    1. Myself (either date)
    2. Skidooboy's wife (either date)
    3. Booma (9th - not sure about the 8th)
    4. ccg (both days are OK I assume?)

    Anyone else?

    I would jump in on the 8th if Dave only does one day.
    I would be the honorary slow guy for the group

    I'll add you to the list. This isn't so much about being the slow guy as it is learning about suspension and how it affects your bike, tire wear, confidence, etc.

    the mrs would prefer Saturday class, so she could put the knowledge to use on sunday. she is very close to setting her personal best at grattan right now. this would be our last event we can attend at grattan for the season. would love to see her get into the 1:29 range. Ski
