rod185651 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Heya Everyone, I just completed level 1 of the superbike school yesterday at Eastern Creek, and can't wait to do level 2, I've been riding for many years but yesterday I felt my cornering skills improved 100 per cent from just one day at the school. I ride a yamaha TRX 850 and also a ZX9R Ninja which I have modified into a street fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davejennette Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey Rod. Glad to hear you feel like you have improved so much. How would you have evaluated yourself before taking the class? What was the biggest skill you felt you needed work on? How do you evaluate yourself now? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the biggest skill you felt you needed work on? How do you evaluate yourself now? Dave Hey Dave, before I did level one I thought I was a pretty good rider (20 Years experience) but to be honest I was a very average rider with 20 years of practising bad habits. What level one did for me was help eliminate alot of my bad habits and simplify cornering. I used to be way to busy when cornering and I used to trail brake too often (rear brake). Now I concentrate more on correct entry speed and throttle control during cornering and also my coach pointed out how tense my upper body was, so now I try to be more aware of my body posture and relaxing my grip on the bars.
