Another great week-end at Phakisa raceway with Motoschool.(5 & 6 December 2009)
We invited a few more brothers to attend,some of them read my letter and were pleasantly
surprised and motivated by the content.
They experienced the same this week-end 5/6 december and feel exactly the way i
felt after my first motoschool track week-end.
Its great fun and if it contributes to saving one life on two wheels ,it has done
enough.
Riders both male and female are learning more and more after every motoscool track
day and this is priceless in the quest to improve riding techniques and safer, smoother
riding.
Once again i am very happy with my own progress on the track,but somehow sad that
so few are making use of the opportunity that exists at motoschool.
Yes finance is a major drawback for a lot of the riders as well as the travelling
.But let us not make that an excuse,rallies are further and funds become available
for rallies one way or the other.
What about trying another brotherhood week-end.Just a thought......
GUYS MOTOSCHOOL IS ALSO FUN,LOTS OF FUN....GIVE IT A TRY .....

Customer Testimonials
Please convey my thanks to Ryk, Miguel, Donovan & the rest of the crew for the
excellent training program this past weekend @ Phakisa with Motoschool. Since my
first day on track in october last year i've attended motoschool regularly, i've
been improving steadily(if slowly) & have found the atmosphere friendly & the instruction
i've received a great help in rectifying some of my bad habits before they take
a firm hold.I ride a 600 in the intermediate group & have found the last couple
of times i've been on track i've been getting held up quite a bit going into turns
by bigger bikes, so my goal of the weekend past was to build up my confidence to
overtake safely & smoothly.The "no brakes" sessions on saturday were a real eye-opener
to reinforce the importance of judging speed approaching the turn & i took to it
like the proverbial "duck to water". Not only was i carrying greater speed into
some of the turns, i was also able to overtake safely/regularly in the process without
a single thought of braking.That,coupled with smooth roll-on of the throttle after
turn in meant my lines were tighter thru apex to exit,the bike felt completely settled
under me,my heart was where it's meant to be(rather than in my mouth) & my concentration
was firmly fixed on the next approaching turn.The last session "putting it all into
practice" (but with "single finger" braking allowed) saw my progress continue with
smooth overtaking while consciously trying to keep my braking to a minimal.Donovan
had mentioned that for some, the training would result in lap times going up & i
think i may have fallen into that category, but as i ain't really fast enough(yet)
to pay much attention to lap times, I'll settle for coming away from the day much
smoother,with the bike much more settled beneath me & my confidence on the up &
for everyone else there's the added bonus of one less brake grabbing holdup on track
! Thanks again to all for making such an informative days training so enjoyable.
