#7Training is important, the teacher is key, I have a strong belief that if you ride everyday you will become a superior rider, I always vow to myself after a trip to the dragon to ride every single day, but track is miles different than the street, the 2 do not mix that well, if your objective is to ride on the street then a daily ride is the best medicine,(aka lots of seat time the more the better).if you desire to become a superior pilot on the track I would start by riding/racing on the dirt, it gives you an edge over people that do not ride on the dirt, the difference is day and night. to become a 'natural rider' is the key for me. If you like to dance and have great rhythm this is handy too cos their is a definite rhythm to riding and esp. racing.

#8I have personally benefited from the Superbike School (www.superbikeschool.co.uk) immensely. I'd say that their training to identify and overcome deadly "survival reactions" (level 1, taken in 2004) has saved my bacon 4 clearly defined times (once with my squeeze on the back). I can still hear myself shouting to myself 'pick a spot and TURN!!!! - NOW!' rather than freeze, grip the bars like an idiot and go straight into the object of fear.
So, certainly worth the highish cost.
& the cornering skills I learned are pretty cool, too. If only I had any natural talent.
there are a few down sides (i.e. their jokes - but someone loves Andy Ibbot!?!).
What really puzzles me is why I spent 30 years riding bikes as badly as I have, before doing anything about it...
