Any motorcycle rider who follows the sport of motorcycle racing has probably imagined riding their bike around a track. Think of the thrill of racing your motorcycle around a track without fear of speeding tickets or dangerous traffic while learning better techniques for riding on and off the track. The experience of a track school for many motorcycle riders can be the thrill of a lifetime. The chance to discover what kind of riding you're capable of while pushing the limits of your bike is a great opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts. There are several choices and options to choose from when it comes to finding motorcycle track schools and open track days.
Most of the motorcycle track schools around the country work in conjunction with AMA certified racetracks. There are road tracks, flat racks and oval tracks, with many schools choosing the most convenient of all options for potential students. School instructors offer guidance and advice for different techniques and approaches to improve their students' motorcycle riding skills and abilities. Certified instructors teach riders of different levels effective stopping techniques, better lane changing and curve handling, and increase their comfort level and overall performance with their motorcycles. Some of the more accommodating track schools offer spare tires and parts, engine and suspension tuning services, and protective leather rentals. Individual, one-on-one instruction can be a bit more expensive than class-oriented, group guidance, so consider the number of students and overall, personal access to instructors when enrolling.
One of the most popular and rapidly expanding track schools in the country is the California Bike School, which has satellite courses in towns from Nevada to New Jersey. Located in Winchendon, Ma., the Penguin Road Racing schools advertise themselves as "The Nation's First Track School - Founded in 1973." Texas's Lone Star Track Days (LSTD) work out of the Houston area and are known for hosting qualified classroom instruction and exciting track time at the Texas World Speedway. These are special arrangements that LSTD has taken responsibility for, and all riders participating must adhere to their requirements.
Who doesn't want the thrill of racing around a racetrack on your motorcycle, the wind blasting in your ears, your engine roaring? That's what riding a motorcycle is all about. Taking the time to do your research is the key to finding any great motorcycle track school. When you settle on your option to try track schools or days, make sure to ride safely. Burn rubber, baby.
