SCHOOL TIME

Shaking off my rust with some of the best riding coaches in the world, at the California Superbike School, India edition

I'd like to start by using one of Sir Jackie Stewart's quotes which goes, "It is not always possible to be the best, but it is always possible to improve your own performance." It's a quote I can always relate to and believe there's always room for improvement, every single time I'm riding a motorcycle, especially on track. Riding fast is an art and to excel at it, besides practice you also need someone who can help you spot your areas of improvement, address them and thus help you go faster. That's where the California Superbike School, popularly referred to as the CSS comes in.

It's one of the best riding schools in the world and despite having attended Levels 1, 2 and 3 at CSS thrice previously, I couldn't resist going back again, this time on the TVS Apache RR 310! Fact is, with very little riding over the past two years I've felt myself become incrementally slow. I'd been feeling a little rusty and what better way to shake the rust off than attending CSS at the MMRT, Chennai! With its curriculum and scientific approach, CSS is perhaps the best way to improve your riding, whether you're a track regular or only ride on the road.
