Race schools/tuition ?

Totto · 22-Jun-2006, 10:20

Right i am looking for a race school to help with my riding , i have done a few track days and am sorta confident on the track , but my problem is corner speed i can brake into the corners with most riders and accelerate out with them but through the middle of the corner i am slow , its like brake like mad get round then hammer out with no smoothness , i think it should all be one action but with me its not
I just cant seem to get the bike to its side to go through the corner fast , i think counter steering it my problem ie not doing it

So i am going to bite the bullet and do one thing this year , no track days/trips on bike , but a race school with tuition so what do you recomend ?

Totto,
sounds like you want to improve your cornering. Ideally, you would want to go somewhere that specialises in improving confidence and technique around corners.

Perhaps these guys might be able to help?

I did the california superbike school recently. Their whole teaching programme is based around cornering, and although quite expensive, it was particularly well organised. It is very difficult to reccomend a particular school or group to learn some tips from....and the end of the day most of it boils down to how much you have to spend. The fact that the CSS has been doing this for over 10 years must say something tho......
