It actually amuses me to see the huge amount of attention other schools, books, forums, and videos spending on the subject called ‘the perfect body positioning’ for street riders. Glancing over to what MotoGP riders like Marc Marquez performs on TV- must be good for the Redwood Rd in the SF East Bay. If it doesn’t look like Marquez… It’ll be damned as ‘crossed-up’ and some rookie rider who was proud showing his first hanging off pic’s will be scoffed by. Read more

I am so happy with the way i developed our ‘Cornering School Day 1 & 2’, because they are burning hot! We still have ideas popping up even improving stuff, and now since we are doing 2 days of cornering school, and our students already asking for it- we are thinking about adding a 3rd day. I’ll come up with very cool stuff, but i need to settle my thoughts on this first.

This is the 1st review of a student who participated in CSD-2 in October 26th 2014:

Coach Can tries hard to get us riders to honestly think about and evaluate our riding habits so we can more efficiently incorporate his guidance with the goal of improving our skills- Ross Shafer, Cornering School - Day 2

IMG_4206What a great class this was! No matter what you come up with… Sportbike, race bike, dual sport, touring bike… or even a Gold Wing or Harley Davidson… we have a place for everyone who want to learn cornering from A-Z from FIRST HAND. No games, but straight out and honest coaching in a fantastic place where learning meets fun!

Pictures and videos of the event are on the way… FREE of charge!

ONLY at Superbike-Coach’s Cornering School Day 1 & 2

I thank to God to be able- and love what i do.

Recap Last Knee & Wheelie Classes

Headcoach Can Akkaya:  Let’s recap our last Wheelie and Knee Down classes in Oct 11 & 12:

Luckily it was not that hot in Stockton as it use to be… but what was going on on our track… that was hot. Seeing my students all weekend to aim for a real goal and having me and my team working real hard to make most of them reaching these goals- that makes my classes always to an eye opening experience. I start this story out with a testimonial from Dean Lonskey:

Superbike-Coach Wheelie Course, Oct 2014 (178)           “I’ve been riding motorcycles for over 40 years (desert, motocross, street), 26 years recently on street, and I’ve always been a little nervous about doing wheelies but would still try. Taking the wheelie course helped with that and Superbike-Coach is a really good school to take. The instructors are very honest, upfront, and experienced (just one look at them in action was enough to convince me!). The 1on1 part of the class, with ear buds in your helmet listening to Headcoach Can giving instructions, is a MUST for EVERYONE! Coach Can Akkaya never pulls any punches and tells you “like it is…good and bad”. You can do something WRONG and he’ll let you know right then and there. However, just as quick as he gets on you for a mistake, he’s right there cheering you on and congratulating you when you do something correct. Anyone who takes this class will come away with something new learned or something remembered that was forgotten“.

As you might remember from reading part 1- I still consider the general motorcycle rider education nothing else as a joke. That hasn’t much changed since then, so I’d like to make riders aware of these things, and not to bend down too early for that shiny thing… it’s maybe not gold, even when it looks like it…

OK, do you agree with me that ‘reading’ a book about the Alps is different as actually ‘being’ in the Alps?!  Motorcycle riding is not a static 1- 2- 3- thing… this is loaded with emotions, variables and ‘feelings’.  It’s not just black and white- but lots of gray zones. A book can’t make you feeling these things, and it’s on the imagination of its reader how the content… has found a place on his/her mind. In other words… what if you read a book about how to ride a motorcycle- but your imagination gives you a other understanding about it?! The result

This is about the Cornering School Day (Sep 7th). Unfortunately we have to reschedule this event to this new date:  September 28th 2014

Students who already booked will be transferred to the Sep 28th list of course. Luckily there is plenty of time to flick things around to plan things. We’re expecting that also this Cornering School Day will be sold out, so sign up soon.

Straight out: I consider the general motorcycle rider education- at least in California, nothing else as a joke. Though, my guess is that the situation isn’t much better in other states. First of- my knowledge comes from teaching thousands of students on the track and street- asking pretty much each of them from who- and where they learned from. I’ll give you some ‘pictures’ according to what I’ve seen where their level at:

There was a 17 year old new rider in one of me ‘Cornering School Day‘ classes and he was taught by “the” certified institution for motorcycle drivers licenses what ‘Trail Braking’ is. Quote: “...it’s applying the rear brake by being on the throttle while entering a turn“.  I have no name for that kind of “made-up”- but theories…

  1. No clue theory:  “The” certified institution has no idea what Trail Braking actually is, and just made this up… or
  2. No resources theory:  They actually know why the best riders on this planet are doing it- but can’t teach it… or
  3. Marketing theory (my favorite): They figured that the Trail Braking process involves front brake usage while entering a turn is actually a conflict to their certified curriculum- to stay away from the front brake doing any leaning.  The goal… in order to “sell” to the people that they do “teach” Trail Braking, and to have an effective Google key word driving traffic to their website… they just made their version of Trail Braking up

There was that 65 years old Lady who reached retirement and bought a brand new motorcycle to finally live her dream.  She called me to teach her to

Hello Students,

I am sorry but I have to reschedule your Cornering School Day which was scheduled for 6/15/2014.

After a track inspection this morning I decided to reschedule the Sunday class for safety reasons. I am as disappointed as you guys are, because I love this class.

Don’t worry… neither your payment or coaching spot is gone- we’re just waiting for a new date from the track owner. So it’ll be that new date- or you pick any other Cornering School Day we have scheduled.

However, your Cornering School Day will be perfect with lots of fun and learning… promise!

Best regards,

Coach Can
