Hey Schwantz School Fans

bwhip · 01-06-2009, 10:23 PM

Apparently on Pit Pass Radio tonight he said that he's moving the school to Barber, and switching to Hondas. I tried to go to his website for confirmation, and the site is down, perhaps for an update?

CBRVFR · 01-06-2009, 10:30 PM

He made me turn my Honda Racing shirt inside out to receive the 'most improved' award, if that is any indication.

He's been Suzuki Blue for a long time, and they have more of a presence in American sportbikes and racing than Honda by far.

I'd be very, very surprised about that, but not about his getting out of Road Atlanta.

bwhip · 01-06-2009, 10:31 PM

Okay, I listened to it and he's not switching to Hondas, he's adding them.

CBRVFR · 01-06-2009, 10:44 PM

I might have to go - I've never really figured that place out.

NorthernRR · 01-07-2009, 05:02 AM

Great news... maybe this is what happened to all the freddie bikes?

Kevin Schwantz School Moving From Road Atlanta To Barber Motorsports Park--And Adding Hondas! News Article // RoadracingWorld.com

SheepOfBlue · 01-07-2009, 08:20 AM

I am VERY surprised he is even adding them... maybe I can ride the RC and take his class again at Baa-rber

<--icon is just backwards though

TornadoB8 · 01-07-2009, 09:07 AM

Hmmmmmm....very interesting.

The planets seem to be aligning.
1. I've been wanting to take a "big-name" school (on a Honda)
2. I've always wanted to ride and visit Barber
3. While Spencer's school fades Schwantz pics up the slack AND moves to Barber
4. I had a winning lottery ticket last Saturday. Well...it was only a dollar, but its a start.

SheepOfBlue · 01-07-2009, 12:11 PM

We can recommend a Mexican place for him...... he can use Seamus as a reference

Miller Motorsports Park was notified last week that Honda was pulling its sponsorship of the track as well as support for the motorcycle school program and sponsorship of race events at the Utah facility.

Wow...when will the Honda bloodletting end?

Javyday · 01-07-2009, 01:36 PM

What about the Jamie James Yamaha school at Barber?

It won't end here. I'm not buying another product from them unless this V4 they announced really does come to market in 2010. They pull the plug on that and they kiss my ass goodbye. I've already left their automobile ranks so the bikes are next. Yamaha or Ducati next unless the V4 is real

If you want the V4, why not Aprilia?

I was considering a second trip to KSSS, but this may seal the deal for me. Barber looks awesome.

Excellent news!

Alabama is a horrible place

Alright, more visitors. All are welcome, just not all at the same time.

ccwilli3 · 01-07-2009, 09:39 PM

yep,

that might seal it for me too! Never wanted to ride road atlanta, but would have done it for the KS school. Now I don't have to.

Very cool article on the new school.

ONEvcs · 01-08-2009, 02:28 PM

Some one should contact them with a MACADX training days idea... I don't know that I could attend or not, but it would be cool.

Racergal227 · 01-08-2009, 05:21 PM

I have ridden both and I think it would be a better environment to teach in at Barber due to the variety of turns. Though Barber has to great highside locations if you are of the Beavis variety (#5 and #15)

PS to the Schwantz people it is 15! check the official maps

and tell your drone buddies in the media

maxib · 01-08-2009, 08:00 PM

I could be very up for a KSSS school at Barber where several MCADX members would also attend...

(hoping Kevin does not remember what I did to his bike the last time)

Would it not be too cool to have a HondaGal's bbq outside the museum at the end of the day and be able to browse the museum while cooking the vittles???

I wonder if any of Spencer's instructors have signed on with KSSS?

Don't forget, dates announced tomorrow.
