California Superbike School (CSS) is providing a chance to Indian riders to know motorcycles better by teaching international level riding techniques. Registrations for the two sessions of the 2017 season are open now. The riders and racers will be taught better and safer riding skills. The three-day riding school has limited numbers of slots and carries a fee of Rs 66,000 per entrant, which includes service tax, insurance cover, food and fuel.
The first session has been scheduled for February 24th to 26th in which only 10 spots are remaining. While, surprisingly, the registrations for the second one in March (3rd to 5th) are already full. This year, California Superbike School is also introducing a Level IV with limited slots, charging a fee of Rs 1 lakh. This level is for students who have completed Level III last year or at any CSS Camp.
One can go to the www.superbikeschoolindia.com website for registrations or directly call the CSS India office for the same. To participate in the school, the learner must have some experience of riding a motorcycle along with valid driver’s license with motorcycle endorsement. In case you want to learn on your own bike, it should be track ready and should be in sound mechanical condition with good tyres. Otherwise, CSS India provides a track ready TVS Apache RTR motorcycle to the eligible participants.
Riders will have to bring their own riding gear as CSS doesn't provide any. The mandatory riding kit should include at least 1 piece or 2 piece leather (2 piece leather must zip together) or armored textile riding gear (jacket and pants), leather motorcycle boots, leather motorcycle gloves and a full face helmet that meets international or at least ISI standards. Although back protectors are not mandatory, they are strongly recommended.
The CSS Level I addresses the six most common errors riders, from novice to world-class racers, make and why. While Level II is all about solutions to problems we face with our eyes, LEVEL III inscribes five more proactive technical points on riding, including how you interface with the bike, your body position choices and how these can affect the cornering process. On the other hand, the newly introduced LEVEL IV takes a completely different turn. This is a rather personalised level, where a rider is asked about where he seeks improvements after getting trained through the earlier levels and honing over fifteen different riding skills.
So, it is a great opportunity for those dreaming to garner an international level of expertise in track riding. As we mentioned above, a limited number of spots are remaining in the 2017 season, so register fast, otherwise, you will have to wait for the next year.
