Nick Ienatsch (lead instructor for Spencer's school) picked up when Spencer's program, ahem, "went away". Still at Miller (great facility BTW):
On a more KTM-specific note, kind of a shame that Skip Barber's (!) motorcycle school program "Powered by KTM" went away ... but I think Barber suffered a credibility problem with motorcyclists ... (?).

I went to the Spencer School before he went out of business.
Nick was really the main instructor at the time. Freddie came in to tell war stories and give two up rides.

The reason I asked was that I was interested in Spencers 4 method turning skills which is focused on lot's of trail braking and overlapping of brake and throttle which I find very interesting.I thought someone who had had the experience could share some of the drills involved.Cheers

My understanding was that Spencer went fast but didnt know how he went fast. Then when others went faster - he fooked off.
Not sure i would be stumping up the dollar for that lesson
