Is she still continually attacking rider training in the U.S. without suggesting changes or campaigning for a new system?

are there intermediate classes around? I have not started to check much but it would seem some kind of highway or city driving course would be great -

Many states offer basic, intermediate and experienced classes. If you're looking for a highway or city riding course, Stayin' Safe might be your ticket.

The vision and product of internationally-recognized motorcycle safety expert Lawrence Grodsky, our Stayin' Safe program focuses primarily on development of the mental and strategic aspects of motorcycling - skills that not only enhance riding safety but also make motorcycling infinitely more enjoyable. We employ coaching techniques that permit training in real-world riding environments where participants benefit from ongoing commentary as situations present themselves.

Stayin Safe is a great program. I've done all of their tours (care to guess how? :wink: ) but it's more designed for mountain and backroads riding. Actually traffic or city courses are rare b/c the liability insurance is so expensive!
