I signed up for a weekend moto skills clinic put on by Streetmasters at Willow Springs International Raceway in southern Cal. The clinic is designed for touring, sport touring and sportbike riders to help improve their cornering skills. I have been riding for many years but I thought that a little continuing education in this area wouldn’t hurt. These guys and gals in the red shirts were my instructors, many of them being current or retired motorcycle cops for different agencies in California.

It was an all day workshop and we ended up doing more than 60 laps on the “Horse Theif Mile” course at the raceway. The instructors were great and the information was invaluable. I can highly recommend the course for intermediate or above riders. You will come away with better riding skills and more importantly you know what to be aware of the next time you go out on the bike. The phrases “turn your head” and “roll on smoothly” will autoplay in your brain next time you ride and your riding technique will improve each time.

Thanks again to all of the instructors at Streetmasters for offering the program and giving their time. I don’t think that they do it for the money as much as for a love of motorcycling and to help other riders improve their skills. They truly care that you are able to ride safely and have fun! Two thumbs up!

“Streetmasters is a high-value motorcycle training workshop. It’s not a racing school designed for track riding. Streetmasters is all about practical street-wise techniques that you can immediately apply in the real-world. These skills are critical in the face of distracted drivers, known visibility disadvantages, and a less-engaged driving public.
Streetmasters builds on your existing skills to elevate your riding to a very high level. The curriculum is taken from professional knowledge and experience gained from 50+ years of riding. You get all this compressed into a one-day, comprehensive workshop. Throughout the day, you get personalized feedback on your performance.” from the Streetmasters website.
