Do This First
Riding
fast is something any half-wit who should not be riding a motorcycle can do. In
many cases there are consequences, remember speed kills, well, actually it is
the sudden stop, you get the point. Riding extremely fast on streets or
highways can be costly, fines, loss of driving privileges, higher insurance
rates, you know all the fun stuff.
Do
what the smart rider does learn to ride fast at the track. When you go to the
track for training wear your

that confidence, I am ready to learn look. Remember our article about track
day?
Go to the track on track day and learn what is required of you and
your bike to run the track at high speeds. Riding
a motorcycle at racing speeds does not happen overnight, it takes practice to
develop the skills to ride fast.
Learn At Track School
Checking in at the track
Motorcycle
riders are not fast, the motorcycle is really fast. You want to learn how to
ride fast with skills like body position, brake and throttle control, proper
cornering at speed, a track school is the place for you.
Here Is Why
There
is a reason you want to obtain motorcycle track training. One, to quench your
desire to ride faster. Two, make riding faster as safe as you can and learn to do it subconsciously, safety
becomes a habit. As you may
know from your visits to the track on a track day, riding faster under
supervision helps to form "good riding habits." Those “good riding
habits’ have to become second nature for you to be a successful motorcycle
speed rider. Track training will help you form those good riding habits before
you form the bad riding habits that get riders into trouble.
Crashing
a motorcycle usually leaves the rider with confidence issues that can lead to
another accident in the same situation. Track training can help a rider with
confidence issues overcome those issues by breaking through the barriers
causing those issues. Track training sometimes comes with a spill or two be
sure to wear your Motorcycle
Armor Leather Jacket and stay
protected.
Benefits, Two Important Ones
Coming out of the corner
faster and then carnking it up for the straight a way.
As
a motorcycle rider who rides every day you know that there are areas where you
are weak. Track training will improve those weak spots and bring them up to
snuff. Do you need track training to ride faster, no you don't? Striking out on
your own and you may end up learning the riding faster game all wrong.
Body Position and Cornering
With the right body position cornering is easy
Often
when cornering a rider will shift his/her body position to better maneuver the
bike through the corner. Your body weight is a part of the overall combined
weight of the bike. Shifting your body weight on the seat will affect how the
bike handles in turns. Get it wrong and the turn may not go as smoothly as you
would like.
For
one thing, the weight shift done right is what anchors the front tire to the
road surface for a more stable turn. Race track training is the best way to get
your body positioning correct for better control in the turns. If you want to
be able to ride faster with more confidence then getting race track training is
the only answer. One more thing, when the instructors explain to you what you need
to do to correct bad habits, listen and learn.
