i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Lachlan Khalid thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Absolutely fantastic experience. I did the learn to ride with the intention of doing the on track day. But then the world changed forever. No other place like it 😎🏍🤙🏽.
It’s great to see, new riders getting the right instruction. It will definitely help them on the road. In my case, I should know because I wasn’t taught right in the first place and actually failed my first road test. But, on a better course, (to pass the test) I passed. But, I was still very inexperienced on the road. A couple of big crashes later ☹️ It took me time to learn how to ride on the road. As my Dad used to say, “treat everyone on the road as a idiots” Thats on the road. I’m a big fan on getting on the track to explore your limits. You will get better at knowing about bike control, handling and stopping is a big one to learn. Well done, to all...
Nice to see CBR 300R as an entry level track bike. As a current owner of CBR 250R(on which 300R is based), I know how manoeuvrable and agile the bike really is. And it's an amazing corner carver thanks to proper weight distribution and 95mm of trail.
I had a great day at Ron Haslam Race School last October. For riders who want to experience the track in about the safest way possible the Ron Haslam formula of two riders getting “towed” by a more experienced rider is hard to beat. All the gear (the other barrier to going on track for the first time) is included and you can ride a 300, 600 or 1000 depending on your skill and the thickness of wallet. Interestingly the instructors on the 600 course ride VFR 800s! The instructors while great riders are not professional teachers. They know a lot about racing and going fast but that is not the same as taking people from track virgins to fast group riders. They would benefit from a more formal curriculum like the one set out below. In summary probably one of the best ways in the UK to get on track. With a bit of tweaking it could be even better. TIPS FOR RIDING ON ROAD 1. LOOK FURTHER AHEAD. A good street rider looks much further ahead. Using the natural and man made features of the environment to judge which way and how sharp the next bend is. Why it works. Because the good rider effectively has more time than the rider who is looking just in front of his bike or even a little further ahead to the bike or car they are following. 2. SLOW HANDS. The good street rider doesn't charge the turn. They don't brake as late and as hard as they possible. They roll off the throttle, brake and arrive at the corner at the speed they want to turn in. Why it works. The good rider is settled and composed at the road position and speed they want to be to make the corner rather than the rider who has charged the turn and now has to work much harder to settle the bike (and themselves!) to get the next parts of the corner right. 3. STAY WIDE LONGER. The good rider chooses a later turn in point. They stay wider towards the outside of the turn much longer. They wait until they have a way through the corner that allows them to clip the apex and apply more power at the exit. Why it works. By staying outside longer the good rider gives themselves much better visibility through the turn and sets themselves up for the turn in and acceleration phases. This is in contrast to the rider who turns in early following the inner edge of the turn reducing the radius, making the turn tighter and delaying the acceleration and drive phases of the turn. 4. SNAP OVER WITH COUNTER STEER. At their chosen turn in point the good rider snaps the bike over quickly to their desired lean angle (rather than tilting slowly) by applying firm pressure to the inside bar in the direction they want the bike to go. Why it works. As most know it's called counter steering and is the single most effective way to turn a bike. By contrast leaning over or even getting out of the saddle and hanging off does not turn the bike. Getting out of the saddle is a technique to keep the bike more vertical for a given radius and speed in a turn. It will allow you to go faster in a given turn but it will never turn the bike on its own. You need to counter steer. 5. STEADILY & CONTINUOUSLY ROLL ON THROTTLE. Once they have snapped the bike over the good street rider immediately steadily and continuously rolls on the throttle. Accelerating through the apex and picking the bike up and driving through the exit. The important point is they roll on the throttle as early as possible - immediately after snapping over. The only exception is turns of a decreasing radius. In those you would not have seen an exit. Why does it work. Steady continuous roll on settles the bike as it loads the larger rear tyre. If you are accelerating for longer you are going to exit the turn faster and be faster overall throughout the whole turn. 6. PICK UP THE BIKE BEFORE YOU USE FULL POWER Having effectively squared off the turn with a late entry and snapping the bike over quickly. The good street rider seeks to pick the bike up with power and be nearer to the vertical before applying more power than the steady continuous roll on. Why it works. A later turn in with a later exit allows the rider to move back towards the vertical and apply more power earlier. This is in contrast to a common mistake of applying higher power (beyond a steady & continuous roll on) while at lean. A common crash at track days is riders who attempt to tighten a turn and accelerate at the same time - usually in pursuit of getting a knee down. If you are tightening your turn - don’t also accelerate as you will eventually run out of grip. Thanks for a great post.
Yes, and no. If you're riding slowly, a constant throttle can be achieved when cornering, and it will settle the bike. However, if riding with a bit of pace, you have to brake/close the throttle to get around a corner, and then start to pick the throttle back up when exiting, as per the video. Combination corners, like a left/right turn, do tend to have a constant throttle requirement when you're in the middle of the left/right sequence, but you're travelling at a speed that allows you to enter the right hand corner without closing the throttle. There's a Twist of the Wrist video that explains this well.
The entire reason they teach it this way is to give a newer rider more front end confidence, as it forces them to carry more speed into the turn, and also to reduce the risk of a novice grabbing a 'handful of highside'
I think it depends on how fast you approach the corner and how tight the corner is. If you come in hot and your braking late right to the apex then you need to be completely off throttle until your at at point in the bend that you need more power to get the bike upright again on the exit. However if you've already shaved off enough speed before the apex then you may need to be on the throttle to get you round so you don't oversteer. I think knowing the road/corner helps as those looking through the corner ahead of time - always try and look for the vanishing point. It's easier said than done tho tbh
Stu Frost i think that comment was more aimed at bike control through sweeping bends etc, which the cbt doesn't get involved in . cbt doesn't even address counter steering or anything, it basically teachers you to ride safe and aware.
you are taught exactly that ,to be safe and aware, as that is what is required for the purpose of travelling on a public highway , not trying to go as fast as you can from A_B or around in circles as you do on a track !!! different disciplines ....although some skills are obviously transferable
7 driftwood there isnt a national standard for a cbt, everyone will come out of a cbt with something different. All theyre arsed about is getting that 'pass' so they can advertise a 100% pass rate or some jarg crap. Its all a money making scheme
I don't know where you learnt to ride Sam, but there is a standard. If any qualified CBT/A1 Instructor isn't happy with their student for any reason then they have the right to not give said student a CBT certificate. If more instruction is necessary then that's is what will happen. It's not pretending to be an advanced course. Just a course to show potential riders how to ride safely on a 125 so that they can gain experience before moving onto a bigger bike
Maria is an excellent host. I hope she gets more airtime.

@Lachlan Khalid It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
@Isaiah Ephraim happy to help :)

Pramathew Yayawar A true sportsbike with a safe amount of power.
Very good. One of MCN's best hosts. Get her on more your other guys are rather boring!
MCN needs more Maria, always enjoy her videos.

Thanks for a great post.
I can see Maria Martin becoming an MCN regular. :D
I couldn't get on the school website. Can someone visiting from another country take this training?
Are there any other schools offering this same service now?
Wonder if leon would consider opening the school back up 😎🏍🤙🏽
well done great presentation and very honest.
Was that Jack Miller 0:51?
You go girl!😇
Maria somehow reminds me of Belana Troy TNG, what do you think?
Excellent job Maria, maybe you will do a trackday soon !
I've always been taught constant throttle through bends to balance the aspect of the machine not zero throttle, interesting.
1066Rider ah, that’s exactly the point. You need a tiny bit more entry speed on track, so you can run through on a closed throttle. That’s the secret.
Yes, and no. If you're riding slowly, a constant throttle can be achieved when cornering, and it will settle the bike. However, if riding with a bit of pace, you have to brake/close the throttle to get around a corner, and then start to pick the throttle back up when exiting, as per the video.

Your taught how to pass a test. That’s it.
Its a massive shame that they have today announced the closure of the race school after this year 2020.
Love the wild card shirt.
She’s hot and a good presenter
C B lol, hell yeah
Thomas Elliott calm down whiteknight
You always find comments like these when there is a female presenter it's a natural instinct lol. Freedom of speech is welcomed.
😍
For god's sake get rid of the brain numbing music, spoils the whole thing.
SHE IS HAAAWWWWT
