Foxriderry, I'm surprised you didn't do the ARC in the Marines. I did it at Pendleton and it was a nice refresher. I've done track days with TrackDaz in California, and my first time I signed up for their class package as well as track time and it helped me iron out a lot of kinks, but this was already after 7+ years of street riding and lots of bad habits.

I think riding here in New Jersey is a lot different, the drivers and the roads are in worse condition and I know it changes the way I ride compared to when I was living in San Diego! The best way to build your street confidence is to honestly get out on the road, get with some seasoned riders, and follow a competent rider (something that is hard to find around here), I watched a lot of Moto GP, British GP and Irish road racing for the longest time and watched their movements.

The first step is getting away from the madness of 20/21/46/208 and getting across the border! Let me know if you'd like to go riding someday, I go just about every weekend up to Greenwood Lake from Hawthorne.
