This describes what happens when a rider gets into panic mode and "Target Fixates" on a hazard.
Learn MoreThis is written by a racer who was there during the evolution of body position through trial and error and was instrumental in development of the most effective style.
Learn MoreThis article covers some of the science behind the forces acting on the Center of Gravity (CG) and the tires and how they apply to the movements of a motorcycle. Knowledge of this particular subject is totally optional for the rider or racer. Riders can be successful in riding and racing without knowing these scientific principles. However, it is good to know these dynamics, if one wants to understand the science of how a bike actually operates or just wants to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation about motorcycle movements. Knowledge and understanding of these forces are useful, when teaching and explaining performance techniques to new riders/racers, some of whom will actually ask intelligent questions. So if you are curious then read on.
Learn MoreA quick look at how the Centers of Gravity combine when the rider is on the bike.
Learn MoreAddressing the theory that hanging off the bike gives a bigger contact patch and more traction.
Learn MoreBelow are questions posed a Mechanical Engineers/Physics Professor about the confusion of the change in tire contact patch size and change in traction levels.
Learn MoreA look at the changes in brake pressures relative to changes in lean angle.
Learn MoreThis is a topic that strikes fear into the hearts of many riders, both new and experienced! This topic is one of my lectures in my school. I’ll try to give you the condensed version here.
Learn MoreThe following are two examples from my personal experiences with people trying to interoperate, strictly from observation.
Learn MoreOver the past several decades I have seen multitudes of new riders, who are just starting their racing career, make the same mistakes over and over again. There are several common mistakes the majority of new bees make when prepping their bike for racing. These mistakes end up with the rookie not have a good experience at their first few race weekends.
Learn MoreThe school is divided up between structured classroom sessions, with plenty of chalk talk and live track sessions. We start with the simple techniques in the morning and move up to more advanced techniques as the day progresses.
Learn MoreThis is the replacement book for the original "Introduction to Motorcycle Road Racing".
Back in print after major editing and rewrites
This is the replacement book for the original " The Complete Anthology of Motorcycle Road Race Lines".
