A very special thanks going out to TrapperDog!!!!!!!
« on: February 19, 2012, 07:49:19 PM »

I can't thank Roger enough for coming out to help me today. It was a larger than usual class, and TrapperDog came down from NorCal to help instruct. All the riders benefited from his experience and instruction. He really made the class move faster and smoother. I let him ride all the demos and it worked out well. I know he got a kick out of watching the riders improve, a hidden gift every coach, teacher and parent can relate to.

Hey Ernie, instead of saying "And it looks like this", it was "When Roger rides this demo, I want you to pay paticular attention to his head, posture,.........".

Thanks again Roger,

Mark

Melanie to say it worked out well is almost and understatement. He's a really good instructor who knows how to work with riders of all levels. Hope to see you soon.

It was really an honer and a privilege to help teach Mark's class. I had forgotten just how well he articulates what the students need to do on the range to accomplish what many deem impossible. It was a large group of Harley riders and we know how stubborn they can be.  ;) But to be able to push them to their limits and watch their joy as they relinquish their bad habits, fears, and instincs to the instruction given and flourish in the maneuver at hand was just fantastic. I was impressed with just how much work goes into the class. We started at 6:30AM moving bikes and setting up the range and didn't finish until setup 9:00AM and had to reverse the procedure later in the day.  I don't know how Mark does it by himself. He puts in long hours for little pay, but I now understand why. It's also Lots of fun for the students and instructors alike, and a great service to the motorcycling community.  Roger
