California Superbike School

Took advantage of Bennetts offer of California Superbike School training morning at Donington Park. Not on track unfortunately but an interesting morning of throttle control riding a circuit with no brakes. The 12S was ideal with its engine braking.

So why are you called Humbug? :D
CSS is known to be expensive but most reports I’ve read said it’s worthwhile. A few guys said to just buy the Keith Code book. I would like to do a few days on track just to improve my road riding. Maybe later on this summer.

Cheaper to book a novice track day and then pay the additional £25 to have one to one instruction on the day. I did this at Cadwell but available on a lot of circuits.
The Keith Code books can be downloaded free from tinternet if you search for them. Twist of the wrist 1 & 2 I think. I’ll see if I can find the link sometime and post. They are a bit heavy going as they were developed for the US Airforce pilots as they had a habit of having accidents on their weekends off wasting millions of dollars of training to fly a fighter. The principles sometimes take a bit of head scratching before they make sense.

As Humbug says - The Keith Code books are really good, but are a bit heavy going at times.
He also wrote "The Soft Science of Road Racing Motorcycles" which is also worth a read if you can find it.
