Ls & Ps

Most track meets do not allow learner riders. However this may vary, so its best to check with the training provider beforehand and ask whether they allow Learners to participate.

You can participate in most track events in Australia if you are the holder of atleast a Provisional licence, issued by your state/territory. You will be however restricted to a LAMS bike.

Which is no problem, as we have the Kawasaki Ninja 400 available for the track.

I am nervous about causing damage

Don't be.

When you participate in California Superbike School you will receive expert training and advice and if you follow their 'no brakes' riding format and ride at 60-70% of your maximum you should not have any problems.

The words 'Race Track' generally invoke a number of safety concerns mainly due to the high speeds reached. Compared to the road however, it is a much safer enviroment to learn in, as race tracks are generally wider than a 3-lane highway and there are plenty of 'clear' run off areas should something go wrong.

Then why do people crash?

Below is a summary of why crashes occur at race tracks, with the first being the most popular.

1. Being an idiot
2. Peforming actions that are highly stupid

Most accidents occur from riders trying to go too fast too soon. You must gradually work up the speed at each corner. Compared to a car, there are fewer options for recovery if for example, you find yourself too fast at the start of a corner. Combine that with a rider's natural reactions like target fixation, gripping the bars tightly, chopping the throttle from panic, braking and the risk of crashing is increased. Riding at 60-70% of your maximum and gradually working up the speed will keep you upright.

1. running off the track onto unformed landscape; (usually resulting from too fast an entry speed into corners) - 'too fast' means too fast for your current skill level. As your throttle control, steering and visual skills increase you will have more confidence to go faster, but you must work up to this level.
2. incorrect use of, rapid chopping (especially when leaning) and jerking of the throttle - You need to be smooth with the throttle at all times.
3. excessive steering and handle bar inputs, - you need to relax your grip on the bars. Do this by securing yourself to the bike with your knees squeezing the tank.
4. tyres not properly being brought up to temperature ,
