Naturally, riders have questions about cornering. We put
a lot of attention on cornering because riding
motorcycles is all about cornering. That's where the fun
is. (Straightaways are good too — they lead to the next
turn). There are at least eleven aspects to any corner;
eleven actions that are important and they're all
connected to each other. Get them all right and the
corner goes well. Get one or two of them a little off
and any rider will wind up pretty busy. You may have
noticed that good riders aren't busy riders, they're
confident riders.

The Levels
Step-by-Step Instructions
The Limits
The track offers a distraction-free environment. No
cars, cops, kids or intersections. Everyone is going in
the same direction, no yellow lines; riders use the
whole road surface to find their cornering limits. And
we want riders to approach their limits because every
rider has limits that act as barriers to their
improvement. Every rider needs to be familiar with their
limits. We'll help find them. Finding and overcoming
limits, one at a time, is the way to improvement. We
developed and refined step-by-step rider training.
The Laboratory
Riders all over the world agree that the real cornering
limits are fear and panic. We aren't saying we can
eliminate them entirely but we can help. And again, not
only for the sake of speed but to raise that confidence
level. The track is like a laboratory, it's clean and
controlled and with precise supervision riders can
approach their own limits with full attention on
improvement. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know
that a well supervised, closed road-circuit is the best
place to do this. The day starts at 7:00 am and ends at
5:00 pm. You'll need to be well rested.
