From a press release from the California Superbike School:
New Training Aid Helps Align Riders With Their Bikes
The California Superbike School’s newest training aid helps riders go with the bike. One of the most common errors riders commit is counterleaning in corners, just like the proverbial “bad passenger”. Keith Code, continuing his development of innovative training devices, calls this one the B.A.D., Body Alignment Device.
The articulated cradle mounted to the rear of a school ZX 6R is rotated onto the rider’s back, aligning them on the bike with a gentle pressure that prompts them to relax and just go with the flow.
Code says, “Riders cause their own instability by sitting up straight and pushing the bike down in corners. This is what an uneducated passenger does to cause the bike to run wide in turns. Passengers aren’t actually steering the bike they are causing it to become unstable. For the rider, once this is corrected, they feel noticeably more in harmony with the machine.”
All Superbike School students are drilled and corrected on this common error, the B.A.D. helps them achieve the result quickly.
