BIKES RUN BETTER IN WINTER - RIDERS DON’T!We all know that our bikes run better in winter when the air is cold and dense – but few of us make allowance for the fact that we don’t.
A cold, wet rider has slower reflexes and poorer distance perception than they would have on the same motorcycle at the same speed in comfortably warm dry, weather. That makes it all the more important to keep it smooth and anticipate road conditions so as not to make any sudden moves that could affect the sometimes fragile relationship between tyre and tar.
And the best place to fine-tune the muscle memory that makes smooth, accurate riding instinctive is the WPMC Motorcycle Section’s Track School at Killarney from 2:00pm to 6:00pm on Saturday 6 June.
It’s also a great place to simply enjoy your bike the way it was built to be enjoyed, without worrying about pedestrians, taxis and speed traps!
Our seasoned instructors are very happy to answer your questions about motorcycles and riding techniques, especially if it’s your first Track School. That way, when something unexpected happens on the road, you’ll be able to deal with it safely without having to think about what to do.
Riders are seeded into three groups – Beginner, Medium and Fast. Full riding gear is required for all riders except those in the Beginner group, where basic gear is acceptable, and there are hugely experienced road and race riders on hand for advice on riding technique, street savvy and how to listen to your motorcycle, in a safe and controlled environment.
You may bring as many ‘crew members’ as you wish, and you’re all welcome upstairs at the Joubert Pits Lounge, with superb views of the circuit and an overview of the children’s play area right next door. Relax between track sessions with on-the-go snacks and light meals from the Lounge and some of the best coffee in Cape Town, while you chat with instructors and fellow riders.
The entry fee is R650 and pre-booking is mandatory. Enter online at http://advancedriding.scheduleme.capetown
Only online entries will be accepted and, as always, places are limited. No competition licence holders may participate – the riding school is open to road riders and track day riders only.
