Here’s a mid-year update on all things Superbike School:
Upcoming Schools: Willow Springs this weekend, followed by Laguna Seca. Then Sonoma and The Ridge in Washington State. After that we go back east for our summer tour: Barber, Virginia, Pittsburgh, and New Jersey. Visit our schedule page or call the office. 800-530-3350. Come join us for the second half of the year.
Spring Tour: We just finished our spring tour, which went well. We had six days straight at Barber, which were a highlight. Kentucky, Virginia, and New Jersey were also fantastic.
New Fleet: We have factory-fresh BMW S 1000 RRs on their way in, with the first wave already here. They’re getting break-in miles right now before we convert to track trim.
Friends and Family Life Experiences: So many riders have been coming with friends and family members to share the Superbike School experience. We often hear statements like “my friend drug me out to the school, and I’m glad I came.”
Foreign Schools: Over the last two months we’ve run events in the Philippines, UK, and Australia. Foreign coaches have been visiting the USA to work with us. We recently hosted Dave from Australia and Martin from England. Mariusz from Poland will be with us next month.
Superbike School Graduates in Racing Last Weekend: Joe Roberts claimed a convincing win in the Moto2 class at the Mugello Circuit. Rocco Landers won the MotoAmerica Twins Cup class with a savage last-lap pass at Road America.
First Time Knee Draggers: We took pictures of some first time knee draggers. Of course smiling faces. For those who have never touched a knee we also have a paddock drill on a mini bike where most people get their knee down inside 5 minutes.
Comments About Our Sponsors:
BMW: No one can argue that the S 1000 RR is consistently at or near the top of all sportbikes worldwide. It’s the perfect tool for our school. Additionally, the management of BMW North America is run by industry veterans who are caring and easy to interface with.
Dunlop: Our oldest sponsor for 43 straight years. We all want confidence in our tires and Dunlop delivers every time.
Alpinestars: We use their gloves and boots, and some have called their Supertech boot, “the best in the world.” Their new air vests are a leap in safety for anyone using them.
KYT Helmets: This giant manufacturer has 14 factories worldwide and makes helmets for many other brands you would recognize, but recently branded their own helmets, which are top-tier in the sportbike segment.
AGV Sport: We’ve used their leathers for over 20 years. Most people are unaware they are consistently the most durable leathers anywhere.
Liqui Moly: Top-tier lubricants used in ALL Moto2 and Moto3 motors. We use that same oil in our fleet.
R&G Crash Protection: Their frame sliders protect from simple pit-area tip-overs to grinding low-sides. Cheap insurance and peace of mind.
DP Brake Pads: Besides a smooth “bite,” DP pads are very low dust, and last considerably longer than typical brands.
Armour Bodies: Very affordable track bodywork, with quality similar to brands costing three times as much.
Skratch Labs: Hydration mix that has saved hundreds of students from dehydration. Trusted by athletes worldwide, you can find it in most running and bicycle stores.
DID Chains: Our fleet puts up with thousands of track miles every year and the chain, being a consumable part, needs to be tough and reliable. We’ve seen chains fail over the last four decades, but never a DID chain.
Stomp Grip: Originally a snowboard product, we convinced them to start making their pads for motorcycle tanks. The rest is history. Virtually every track bike will have some sort of tank grip, and Stomp is the original.
