K&N Performance Filters

,

We are proud to announce that K&N Performance Filters has agreed to sponsor Superbike-Coach Corp in 2016. Coach Can Akkaya states “I’m happy to form this relationship, as I am a big believer in K&N Products. Having K&N filters on our school bikes will make them run better“.

s-l300Coach Can remembers seeing K&N at the track as a young boy. His dad took him to a car race in Belgium and little Can was impressed by the race cars in their ‘War paint jobs’, with K&N logo was on almost every car. Since then, this logo symbolizes the term “Motorsports” to Can. “Seeing that K&N sticker awakes memories…The smell of racing fuel and hot slicks and to my Dad,” says Can. Years later, Can put down a record lap, exactly on this particular track!

The K&N World headquarters, main manufacturing facilities and primary distribution center is based in Riverside, California. K&N is a world class filtration company selling air filters, oil filters, and air intake systems in over 30 countries with more than 5,000 products designed for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and industrial applications.

Can Akkaya raced and coaches on Dunlop tires

This relationship with Coach Can Akkaya goes back to about 30 years- when Coach raced for Honda the German IDM pro series. Can won many races and pole positions on Dunlop’s, so he knows what this brand is capable of.

Bel Ray goes into the third year partnership with Superbike-Coach

,

We are super happy about it. Their product portfolio covers everything what our bikes need. Bel Ray is all about quality, with their products and service. Coach Can already works on a review video, to give you an idea of Bel Ray’s spectrum and about where and how to use it: “We’re using only Bel Ray lubricants on our school fleet”

BikeMaster is much more than a sponsor to the Superbike-Coach Corp

,

To maintain our fleet properly, we have to have a updated and well sorted garage. That includes tools, liquids, parts and accessories… all from BikeMaster. Headcoach Can Akkaya: “These guys rock, and they love motorcycles as much as I do. What I really respect is that they are there for me when ever I need them”. Coach’s last video displays BikeMaster’s gigantic portfolio well: ”

We are super happy about Arai Helmets USA

,

…and that’s no wonder because that helmet saved Coach’s life multiple times. He’s connected to the brand since 1984, which was Can’s second year of amateur racing. Arai Germany walked with him up to international pro racing, and Arai Helmet USA took over in 2010.

Can loves his new Arai Corsair: “The new shape feels smaller, but it actually is more spacious inside. just great!”

Man… 2015 was kinda short, wasn’t it?!

, , , ,

Only one more month to go and we welcome a new year. Lots of things around Superbike-Coach happened in 2015, and it seems that it will keep going like this also in 2016. But let’s reflect this riding season a little bit first, which kind of ended with a dramatic MotoGP World Champion title for Jorge Lorenzo- even with a little support.

If you maybe think I am a Rossi, Lorenzo or Marquez fan- you would be very wrong. When I am watching a race, then it’s about their performances, which is not restricted to one single racer. I herd Rossi fans saying that Lorenzo does not deserve the title, which is non-sense because Jorge’s performance in the qualifying are showing that he would have make it with or without Marquez. In other words… he really earned that title because he made less mistakes. In fact, Rossi couldn’t go the pace of the trio ahead, which was going slower as they could go- so I don’t see why all the pain and the hate right now. I feel bad for Vale because I believe that his goal is it to at least equalize Giacomo Agostini’s record of 14 world champion titles, so I hope he keeps going for it.

Let’s see what Superbike-Coach has accomplished in 2015- and still has to with one more Cornering School Day 2 on 12/6/ to go. You can fence our 2015 in with one sentence… all classes Superbike-Coach ran were booked out, and waiting lists were growing on almost each class… and all of it by word-of-mouth!

Let’s think about this for a second what that means… Superbike-Coach must be kinda good, doesn’t it?! A bed of roses- or a walk in the park?… by far not. I can tell you stories what I’ve been through- oh man. I just drop some words… I got threatened, deceived, betrayed, and copied… many times. But I never surrendered and my students are coming back because they know that Superbike-Coach is different- is first hand stuff which makes them being the better rider. Basta! :-)

Our 2016 schedule is filling quickly with all kinds of classes, also two new programs- ‘Motorcycle Preparation Workshop‘ and ‘Track Days’, which is a gigantic risk. Both only once per year for now, so make your plans for it. Superbike-Coach will be also in 2016 different, unique and efficient…. promise!

I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance folks! See ya in 2016.

Headcoach Can Akkaya, Superbike-Coach
