Episode 46 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Keith Code. Keith Code is a writer, inventor and coach who has dedicated himself to understanding and teaching the art of riding motorcycles. Achieving success in California in the 70’s riding for the legendary Yoshimura team, Keith found he had an aptitude for analysing and communicating the techniques required to carry speed through a corner. Under Keith’s instruction, many a racer dramatically reduced their lap times. Encouraged by this success, Keith began his pioneering one-on-one courses in 1976. Distilling his theories onto paper and creating a numerous practical drills, Keith wrote his first book, Twist of the Wrist, to this day it’s the world's number one instruction manual for the motorcycle rider. In 1980, Keith established a school to offer his unique training to anyone with a motorcycle license. Four decades later, California Superbike School has become synonymous with sport-bike training, with schools in the USA, UK and Australia. As of 2021, riders who have been trained either at his schools or by Keith personally have won 65 world and national racing championships. His schools have operated at over 90 tracks worldwide in 15 countries and have trained more than 150,000 riders. Keith is an old friend and a unique character, our chat covers lots of ground and offers many humorous insights into this trail blazer.

This episode is a great chat with Manny Bastos, who got his motorcycle and track day instructor training with Yamaha Champions Riding School (YCRS), and now runs his own rider training school, Riders Academy, at New York Safety Track (NYST). I recently completed the Riders Academy and plan to do many more track days at NYST. We talk about track days, NYST, Yamaha Champions Riding School (YCRS), my recent training at California Superbike School (CSS), and why people do track days and how any street rider can benefit from learning to ride on the track. And we cover a lot of other topics including track riding, street riding, wheelies and more!

This episode is a chat with Eric Swahn from Eric Swahn Racing. Eric is an amateur racer who has done a lot of racing at the club level and really loves it. He also has quite an entrepreneurial streak and started selling merchandise online through eBay as a kid. Since motorcycle racing is a very expensive sport, unless you have lots of sponsors backing you, Eric decided to put his racing on hold for a little while as he focuses on building his online motorcycle gear and parts store. Right now, he operate his online store part time in addition to his regular day job, but his goal is to build his store up to the point where it not only supports him, but also provides the extra cash he needs to continue with his passion for motorcycle racing. Check out Eric’s story in this episode and check out his online store at shopesr.com.

This episode is a great discussion with Jon DelVecchio, a family-man and high school educator who also owns the Street Skills LLC motorcycle school that he founded in 2015, which is a New York State licensed driving school and an AMA chartered organization. Jon has combined his passion for motorcycles, his 20 years of riding experience, and his 10 years as a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Rider Coach to build his motorcycle school and to develop his “Cornering Confidence” method of motorcycle street rider instruction. In his “Cornering Confidence” book, curriculum, and online course, Jon has taken to heart the MSF motto of "the more you know, the better it gets", to help riders enjoy their riding more, get better control of their motorcycle, and thus reduce rider anxiety and make them more successful riders on the street. His method is designed to get students up to speed, step by step, on trail braking and other techniques to make them safer riders in the corners. “Cornering Confidence” is self-paced education, with direct support from Jon as needed. This is a unique approach to motorcycle skills development which dovetails in with the other teaching methods and schools that you may already be familiar with.

In this episode I have a really cool chat with Robby Cichielo Jr, in which we discuss how he got into motorcycling, why he prefers riding on the track, and the amazing experiences he has had as an endurance racer, as a racer in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Series, and as an instructor and coach for N2 Track Days. We also talk about how motorcycles are the great equalizer and how motorcycling brings people together from all kinds of backgrounds and all walks of life. The shared love of motorcycles and motorcycling seems to know no boundaries and melts away differences in gender, race, religion, nationality, economics and the other things that sometimes put up barriers between people. In a nutshell, when true motorcyclists put on their gear and throw a leg over their bike, they are all very much of the same heart and spirit, and they all share a very special bond, one with another. We talk about Robby's experience riding motorcycles, including starting on a Suzuki SV650 at age 14, about 13 years ago. He had a Suzuki GSX-R for a while and eventually bought back his original SV650, which then led to getting started racing in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Series. We go over how Twins Cup is very much a builder series and how riders and mechanics take bikes like the SV650 and other street bikes which are really designed and intended to be daily commuters and turn them into race machines with souped-up motors and more torque. We also talk about how Robby had to learn how to race the SV650, as it's not a pure race bike and requires a slightly different technique. And we talk about Robby's experience in endurance racing as a member of the 4 Dudes on a Twin race team. I also mention that now that I have read quite a few books about motorcycles and riding technique, I decided it is time to put my understanding to the test and see how well I can apply what I've learned. That's why I want to start riding on the track, and why I recently signed up for the 2-Day Camp with California Superbike School at New Jersey Motorsports Park in May 2020. Robby talks about the fact that often it is easier to teach less experienced street riders good riding technique on the track, as they haven't developed a lot of bad habits that can be hard to get people to break. He sometimes runs into "beginner techniques" that are taught in some basic rider training classes that then have to be unlearned. On the same theme, we talk about how strider bikes have been a great improvement over the bicycles with training wheels that many of us had when we learned to ride on two wheels, as strider bikes are two wheel vehicles and behave like two wheel vehicles, so kids learn balance and counter-steering. Whereas tricycles and bicycles with training wheels behave differently and don't teach the skills needed to ride a two wheeled vehicle. Robby and I also touch upon how buying and owning good, quality riding or track gear is an investment in yourself!

In this episode I answer an email from a listener who is looking to buy his first motorcycle and is looking for advice on how much to spend on his motorcycle gear. I take this opportunity to answer his question by discussing all the things I have learned recently about high end gear that is suitable for track riding, as I start preparing myself to start riding on the track in 2020. I cover the fact that I am facing the same dilemma that he is…how much do I spend? I discuss what I am learning about helmets, boots and track suits, and the approach I am taking to move ahead and decide what to buy. I also mention that I have decided that before I start getting very involved in doing track days, I first want to improve my riding skills, and learn how to ride properly on the track, by taking the type of training offered by the California Superbike School and Total Control Training. I also talk about the things I have learned about Shoei and Arai helmets and some special features of Dainese track suits and boots. I also share what I have learned regarding the design features that make a helmet safer and more effective in a crash. And I mention the importance of deciding how to dress for your ride before you get on the bike.

In this episode I talk with Dave Moss, the founder of Dave Moss Tuning (DMT). Dave started racing motorcycles in the late 1990s at the age of 35. He built his own race bike and spent a lot of time digging into the nuances of bike setup and researching motorcycles, their behavior, their design and the physics behind them so that he could get the most out of his own bike on the track. A lot of other track day riders and racers started coming to Dave for advice on how to set up their own bikes. The help that Dave started offering at that time continued to evolve and develop over the last 24 years, and Dave now has a web site and YouTube channel with over 1000 items of content related to motorcycle suspension, motorcycle setup and riding technique that runs the gamut from podcasts, to videos to written articles. Dave has an intense passion for helping riders of all experience levels get the most out of their motorcycles and their motorcycle riding. He has found that often simple changes to the setup of a motorcycle can lead to huge gains in rider comfort, rider performance and rider safety. Dave has developed many tools and techniques to help tweak and adjust a motorcycle so that it fits the rider the way a well fitted suit or glove fits your body. His advice, to anyone who will listen, is to first focus your attention on the ergonomics of your motorcycle, and making sure it fits you properly, suits your riding style and handles properly, before you invest in other things like exhaust pipes, chrome and engine modifications.

In this episode I talk with Tom Walker, also known as the MotoCoach, who is a certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCoach, a track day coach and enthusiast, and creator of his Corner College rider skills development training program. We talk about a recent accident he had on the track, his injuries and how his recovery is going, and the effectiveness of his gear in this high-speed crash. We also start the conversation to cover the various things that I need to do to get myself and my bike ready to start doing track days in the not too distant future.

In this episode I chat with Wes Fleming who has been riding motorcycles for many years, has over a 100,000 miles under his belt, and also does a lot to support the motorcycle community through this podcasts, web site, YouTube channel and the work he does for the BWM Motorcycle Owers of America (also know as the BMW MOA). Wes recently purchased a 2019 Indian FTR 1200 S for his 50th birthday, and that’s what gave us the idea to get together for the first time and do an episode together. Although his new motorcycle is the focus of the episode, we spend a lot of time talking about the process of buying a new motorcycle, and topics like why Wes chose this bike, doing your research before you visit the dealer to make a purchase, choosing the right bike for you, buying a bike in its first model year, getting a bike fitted to you, financing, negotiating price, buying insurance, extended warranties, upgrading or changing an exhaust system and how that relates to emissions laws and performance, establishing a good relationship with your dealer and mechanic, the importance of having and reading the owner’s manual and service manual for your bike, engine break in, why having a chain drive can be a good thing, owning more than one motorcycle, and the like. We don’t have time to get into a lot of specific details on this motorcycle model, as we had a ton of fun discussing all of these related topics. But if you’d like to hear about the details of the Indian FTR 1200 S, let us know and we’ll do another episode together, with Wes having even more experience to talk about regarding this bike. I also talk about joining Gina on the Long Island leg of the Women Riders World Relay (WRWR) and some additional details about the Bohn Armor that I wear when I ride.

In this episode I chat with Dan Netting, entrepreneur, and founder of Life at Lean and The Track Academy. After having a couple of bad experiences on the track, including injuring himself in two crashes, and in the process wrecking two bikes, Dan decided to become a dedicated student of riding on the track and educated himself to become a very safe, talented track day rider, and now devotes his time to helping other track day enthusiasts accomplish the same things that he did. Dan and I also spend some time answering some questions sent in by a listener, about trail braking and tank slappers, and we go over what counter-steering is all about. I also give some listener shout-outs and discuss how many of my listeners are starting to form a good community around the podcast. And I share some tips I've developed on riding more comfortably on long stints on weekend trips including gear I use to make hot weather riding more bearable, how to protect yourself from impact and abrasion and still be comfortable, and how I stay comfortable in the saddle of my Kawasaki Z900RS.

In this episode I talk with retired motorcycle racer, author, inventor, entrepreneur and founder of the California Superbike School, Keith Code. Keith and I talk briefly about his early days of motorcycle racing, and then how he came to start training riders in 1976 with his "Keith Code Rider Improvement Program". Keith goes over the fact that no one was doing motorcycle coaching at the time that he started his program. At first he wasn't sure if he could teach others as he didn't consider himself to be a very good student. But after doing the Student Hat Course developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Keith found that he now understood the barriers that people run into when learning and studying a new subject. He also found out that not only could he learn, but that he had actually become a very good student, and that he also now had the understanding and communication skills to teach others as well. Keith personally trained and coached Wayne Rainey, one of the founders of the MotoAmerica motorcyle racing series, and winner of the Daytona 200 and three time winner of the 500cc World Championship. We talk about how Keith taught himself physics and engineering so he could understand the dynamics of how motorcycles work and apply that to help motorcycle racers and road riders improve their riding skills both on and off the track. All of this led to the founding and great success of the California Superbike School. The rest, as they say, is history and now celebrating its 40th year in operation, the school has 100 coaches and students around the world in 13 countries including parts of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, such as India, Scandinavia, Italy, England, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Taiwan, China and the Philippines. Keith has personally trained 130,000 riders and his school has trained 200,000 riders worldwide. In Keith's school, everyone improves, guaranteed. If someone feels they haven't improved, they are given additional training free of charge. Keith's school is currently coaching Rocco Landers who is currently leading the MotoAmerica Liqui Moly Junior Cup series. If you would like to learn more about L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology or The Student Hat Course, see the links below and contact me at soyouwanttoride@yahoo.com.

In this episode I have a down-to-earth chat with Jae, who is the newest co-host on the Creative Riding Motorcycle Podcast. On a recent episode of Creative Riding, Jae talked about the motorcycle accident she had and how she is now temporarily out of work with a broken leg. As she is also an artist, she wants to use her artwork to help support herself and pay her medical bills while she is on the mend. So I reached out to her to join me on the show and tell her story. I also talk briefly about my riding in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland this past weekend, and the special guest I interviewed last night for the my next episode. Hint...this guest wrote the book "A Twist of the Wrist."

In this episode Gina and I interview Hayley Bell, the founder and the main driving force behind the Women Riders World Relay (WRWR), a worldwide pursuit "to ignite a global sisterhood of inspirational women to promote courage, adventure, unity and passion for biking from all corners of the world and do something that’s never been done before to this scale." I also share what I have learned so far from Keith Code's "A Twist of the Wrist" books and DVDs, discuss a new part I installed on my Z900RS, talk about a new Dainese jacket that could really help protect you in a crash, and give some details about a non-motorcycle podcast that I appeared on as a guest to help promote motorcycling to people that don't ride motorcycles.

In this episode, DanDanTheFireman and I have a nice chat and get down to the nitty-gritty of motorcycle safety and the importance of training and wearing proper gear to reduce the inherent risks associated with motorcycling. Having worked as an EMT for a little over 10 years, Daniel has seen it all when it comes to traffic accidents, in particular related to motorcycles. His passion is educating motorcyclists, especially beginning riders, on the things they can do to get better informed and better trained about motorcycling, to increase their chances of having a safe and rewarding future as a motorcyclist. DanDanTheFireman has over 92,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, and is close to having 400 Patreon subscribers. So obviosuly there are a lot of people intersted in what he has to say! We talk about his experiences as an EMT, and the weekly live videos he does to analyze motorcycle accident videos for his listeners, so they can become more skilled at understanding motorcycle accident dynamics and how they can avoid accidents, and if necessary minimize the risks if they are involved in one. We also talk about the Accident Scene Management Course that Gina and I did two years ago and how that has made us more aware of accident risks, and more importantly what we can do to help save lives if we ever witness an accident. We also talk about Daniel's new Indian FTR 1200 and how Fast Eddie's Motojitsu motorcycle exercise program is helping both of us become better riders.
