Finally got motorcycle. I want to improve my riding skills. Should I take ERC or TrackTime (Novice)? Appreciate your feedback!

:welcome: rdrManny to the forum!
I'm not familiar with Track Time or ERC.
I Googled and right away came up with Track Time web site but not ERC.

Where in Jersey are you?

EDIT: Are you an experienced rider or are you looking to improve skills?

ERC is the MSF's "Experience RiderCourse"

To answer the OP's question: take the ERC and then do as many track days as you can!!!

I'd start by taking the ERC. It typically lasts 4-5 hours and is a good refresher course to keep the rider thinking and riding defensively.

I have yet to participate in a motorcycle track day, buy from what I've heard, they focus on more advanced techniques for throttle, braking and cornering.

I would do the ERC, and then do a track day. Either way, never stop learning:thumbup:
