"I don’t race and I don’t ride a sportbike." Perfect.

This is one of the most common things we hear from people when they’re thinking about signing up for the first time — and it’s usually followed by something like, “So I don’t know if your course is right for me.” It is. The majority of riders who attend our courses ride on the street. Very few students are track-only riders. Some arrive with years of experience, others are early in their journey. They’re on cruisers, touring bikes, adventure bikes, standards, and nakeds. Many don’t even own a set of leathers. What they all have in common is a desire to understand their motorcycle better and a curiosity about how to ride it with more precision and confidence.
A lot of those students leave saying things like:
“I just started riding this year and this course was the best investment I’ve made.”
“I have no plans to start attending track days, but the techniques transfer to street riding and make me a safer rider.”
“Cornering101 and 201 were life changing for my riding confidence and skill.”
Whether you’re new to riding or you’ve put on tens of thousands of kilometers, we’ll meet you where you’re at. The feedback you get is personal and specific, and there’s time to apply it. We structure the day to give you a balance of clarity, support, and track time. It’s not about lapping as fast as possible — it’s about making sure your bike responds the way you intended.
There’s no doubt this environment attracts a few track-minded folks too — some of whom started just like you. We’re glad they’re here. Their growth pushes us to keep refining our own technique and coaching skills. But our focus has always been to help any rider, on any street-going motorcycle, understand what’s really happening when they lean into a corner.
This course isn’t about preparing you to race. It’s about making the bike feel less mysterious, and your inputs feel more deliberate. That matters on every kind of pavement.
