Rider training advice

[BikerBoy]

Hey,

Been wanting to do some rider training for ages.
Riding for about 3 or 4 years now, had no real spills... so far.

My cornering skills are pretty shite. Its mainly those i'd like to improve and also
break down some fear barriers about putting the knee down.

Which coarse would be better -

1. stay upright
a) cornering and bracking
b) advanced coarse at orna park

or

2) First level superbike school.

I use my ZX6R to commute to work daily - i rarely hoon on weekends.

Do you need full leathers to do the superbike school? i only wear Mesh armoured jacket, dragon jeans, gloves, waterproof boots.

All these coarses are in whoop whoop for me, i'd need to fuel up right after getting there!

Oran park vs eastern creek - opinios?

Thanks

I'm gona do both stay up-right course's ( adavanced / braking and cornering) on Dec 1 & 2 . But we dont have much choice down here. only run them once at symmons and one at baskerville per year. I recon any rider training is a good idea if something you learn saves your life

I was told the cornering & braking is more for racer people, as is Superbike school.
The Intermediate and Advanced (Stay Upright) are more for what you want. They now run them at the old Butterfly Farm near Windsor, which is a little closer for you.

I'm booked into the Intermediate class at Windsor on the 11th dec. Not sure if they have any spots available but I will post a report up after I've done the course. I'm hoping this will help with my conering skills also.

Superbike school level 1 is about the best thing a rider can do,it will give you confidence in corners.You will learn throttle control{speed in and out of corners} and to trust you tyres,where the entry to a corner is,the apex and exit of a corner.If you want,you can take it onto the next levels but at least do level one,cheers Steve

Do you need full leathers to do the superbike school?

Yes. You can hire them for a pretty reasonable price though.

I don't think any of these courses are going to "break down some fear barriers about putting the knee down" from what I've been able to gather. It might also be a an idea to get a set of leathers before you spend too much time trying to get a knee down.
