Sena is a new Sponsor to Superbike-Coach

,

I am happy that I can announce that SENA has become a new sponsor to the Superbike-Coach Corp. This will benefit especially our students on 1on1 or small group coaching, because the quality and reliability of the Sena intercom and video systems.

We are mainly using Sena 10c and SMH5 Multicom units, which are super functional for us and extremely quick connecting and to swap. But that’s not all.

As usual, our sponsors are holding discounts, exclusively for Superbike-Coach students- and so will Sena.

We are looking forward to a hopefully long and successful relationship with Sena.

It’s Time For Some Track Fun

,

I can’t believe how quickly time went by. We just finished an amazing Knee Down class and Wheelie Course (end of April), and now we’re preparing for our track day at Thunderhill West Raceway on 6/10/2018. It seems we’re booking up again, because only 38 spots are left.

So in a little less than a month, Superbike-Coach will run another track day, the way it should be…. available for every rider and bike category- hassle free and without ‘instructors’ who just race each other by ignoring their own rules. In fact- about 80% of our track day attendees were my students before in all kind of SBC programs, which means that there is a solid level of respect for each other and for what we do. Of course, nothing is perfect, and so also we try to keep improving.

However, I want to point out that a Superbike-Coach track day is different in the detail as well, and that begins with our level group selection. Since we do track beginner orientated track days which are more fun and safety focused than to be fast- we run three groups in 7×20 minutes sessions. Dividing riders in C group (probably the slowest, most inexperienced)- B group (intermediate riders with low track experience)- and B+ (up to slight more experienced riders). Take to note that our B+ group is pretty much a extension of the B group. So no A group, but we do welcome some A riders and racers in B+ all the time, and those are the ones we know that they can ‘hold back’ and track with respect. Low key is cool, because ya’ll have a Monday to do.

Often riders ask if a class is mandatory to even attend our track days. The answer here is no, everyone- and on everything can join. We offer “I always wanted to do this ones, but without the drama” track days. That means you don’t have to have a racing suit- you don’t have to prep the crap out of your bike- and you don’t need to be worried about the ‘chicken strips‘ you might have. We try to bring riders, despite the category or level, to the sport in the most hassle free and possible safest way.

The more the better, but street riding protection is fine if it is for you. In the end, you go the same- or even higher risks using regular riding protection for street riding. In regard bike preparation we only ask to tape the brake light and to remove mirrors (or to tape them).To get started, you might want to read my article ‘How to prepare for a track day‘. There are rules, flags, do’s and don’t’s, and a bunch of tips and suggestions around your entire track journey, so good stuff actually. If that leaves questions open… you might post a comment on the Coach blog to get the answer.

Now here is the deal… Superbike-Coach track days are always booking out, and that’s beyond the fact that we are not leaving turns out- that we include free sport photography- a Ideal-Line-West-Seminar- and a C group orientation in the morning… all for only $150. So if you want to get in… now is the time, because only 38 spots are left!

Track Academy, a New Program by Superbike-Coach

I’m proud I can offer a new efficient and affordable class for track riders and racers—and of course for all those who want to get there…. the ‘Track Academy‘.

This class is fast-paced and for experienced riders, but you don’t need pre-experience with Superbike-Coach. I’ll teach you how to get past mental blocks and grow your skills with subjects and drills others don’t even know.

Suitable for

  •  Track day riders of all levels
  •  Racers of all levels
  •  Track orientated students who went through CSD-1 to 3
  •  Race, track and Sportbikes
  • If you’re ready to drop your lap times

Why on a small track?

You may say, “I won’t learn much on a small track. How will that help me win on the real tracks?”, but here is how: A smaller track means you get to repeat the maneuvers over and over until you have them perfected. The high repeating frequency allows you to focus on what’s really important―you, your fears, your imagined limitations. Think of doing this on the 13-mile Nurburgring Nordschleife

you’ll get in a couple of laps before your time is up. In addition, the slower speeds are not just a confidence booster, they also mean less hurt and damage if you push those limits and make mistakes. Finally, Coach Can Akkaya can see and stop you whenever it’s necessary, give you feedback, drills, tips, and demos that you can immediately apply while he watches. And, last but not least, the cost of being on a small track is significantly reduced. Think logic before saying no.

Sign up promptly, because this class will only be taught once per year.

The name and reputation have been forged over time, the hard way.

Forma boots are developed with high-end materials, and the look is fantastic. 2015 is the 3rd year I’ve been using Forma Boots for their quality- durability- safety- and design.

Great Superbike-Coach Season Opener

,

Last Sunday, 1/28/, we’ve opened the 2018 riding season with a terrific group of people.

I was a little rusty after the long winter break, but it didn’t hold my 28 students back to go into it with eager. The weather couldn’t be any better and our track was in a good shape.

I had a blast with them and yea, also enjoyed myself a lot being back on the track and rip my freshly rebuild Supermotard throughout this exciting and extremely technical track. Students have begun to spread their reviews over Google, Yelp and whatnot. Go read them! Photographer Dean could take over 1500 pictures and video, which are ready for a free download for the class. Till then he pulled some featured pictures of the outstanding class. Enjoy!

Thanks to my SBC team we could start the season where we paused in 2017… with lots of happy faces… and so am I :-)
