Whether you’re looking to improve your road craft or track technique there is plenty of choice when it comes to advanced rider training, from race schools to ROSPA. However there is only one organisation that is entirely dedicated to the art of cornering. Founded in California by Keith Code in the 1980’s, his school’s original purpose was to help superbike racers to improve their lap times – hence the name.

Published in Riding techniques
California Superbike School term starts on 5th April 2010 with a 2-day camp at the world-famous Jerez circuit in Southern Spain – a great opportunity to ride the same track as MotoGP riders and to enjoy some Spanish sun. UK courses commence at Silverstone on 22nd April, with a further 19 dates at either Silverstone or Brands Hatch, until the last day of term on 12th September.

Twist of the Wrist II brings Keith Code's best selling book vividly to life. Produced by Keith Code himself, the founder of The California Superbike School and trainer of numerous championship winning riders worldwide, the DVD demonstrates precision techniques for overcoming barriers to cornering such as rider input, fundamentals on steering, visual skills, braking, body position, throttle control and more.

Building on the widely acclaimed success of its expanding motorcycle range in the European market, Kawasaki have announced two brand new machines in the important 125cc sector for the 2010 season.

News has reached us that rider training supremo Andy Ibbott of California Superbike School has suffered a stroke following a medical procedure recently, Andy is an incredibly positive and upbeat chap and we doubt that even a stroke will keep him down for long so it is no surprise that this is looking to be the case -we hope you will join us in leaving your comments on the CSS website (linked in the article).

‘A Twist of the Wrist II’ the long awaited DVD based on the worldwide best-selling “Twist II” cornering bible by Keith Code, will be on sale soon.

Keith Code has trained more riders than anyone in the world. His training & teaching methods are responsible for scores of victories by top riders around the globe.

California Superbike School will run exclusively at Silverstone next year, following massive investment in facilities at 'the home of British motor sport.' Dedicated to the art of cornering, classes will run over a total of 18 dates from April to September, utilising a variety of circuits at the world-famous Northamptonshire track. Term starts on 22nd April, running on the recently upgraded Stowe circuit. There will be opportunities to learn on the 2-mile long Southern track, featuring Hangar Straight, during May and June, while next August the 1.6 mile National circuit, taking in the Northern section of Grand Prix track, will be available for the first time.

Car Parks could be used in New Bike Test
Delivery of the new motorcycle test

Our plans to introduce new test centres called “Multi Purpose Test Centres” (MPTCs) are key to road safety, providing a safe environment in which to carry out the new and more demanding motorcycle exercises which will be included in the new practical test from 29 September.

The primary benefit of these centres is one of road safety as these centres will allow the exercises to be taken away from the public road. They will also allow certain car test exercises such as reverse parking to take place on-site and off-road.

Come to see California Superbike School at the London Motorcycle Show, where you'll be able to find more information on their UK and European dates for 2011. Term starts in the UK on 22nd April, running on the recently upgraded Stowe circuit. For riders with a sense of adventure, they are also running schools in Abu Dhabi at the Yas Circuit, at Spain's Calafat track near to Barcelona and at Istanbul Park in Turkey too. Teaching proven techniques that will benefit riders on both road and track, many young racers receive private coaching from California Superbike School.
If your New Years resolution was to take a course with California Superbike School, then take a look at our full schedule now and make a date. UK dates available at Silverstone on three different configurations - Level 1 article from Bikechatter linked here to give you an idea of what to expect (new page). WE can hire you a bike if you don't want to ride your own. WE can hire your riding kit. WE can advise on accommodation. WE will feed and water you all day. Above all else if you come with a willingness to learn WE will teach you how to Corner with Confidence!
