California Superbike School - LEVEL ONE! // Riding the new 2022 Kawasaki ZX10R!

- Hey Everyone!
I was fortunate enough to get an Invite to the California Superbike School as part of my higher learning motorcycle training journey!
As you know, Track Days are a love of mine and I am always striving to be faster, smoother and more flowing!
The California Superbike School really strips everything back and in my opinion, gives you time to focus on key elements that on a regular track day you wont focus on. Because we all know what it's like on a track day... you go with the best intentions to slow it down and work on stuff but then as soon as you get there - you just wanna go FAST FAST FAST and don't end up working on the things you should be working in.
I know I am guilty of this!!!
Anyway, I seriously hope you guys enjoy this one!

Well done Kate, just done level 3 as you know and another light bulb moment! Great vlog
We love a good light bulb moment! đĄ
What an upload that is!!!! Loved every single minute of it! đwell done Kateđ
So glad you liked it James! I'm so gutted, I wanted to do so much track work this year and it just hasn't happened
I love that Kawi monster green, but that scary black with the green accents looks so tough! đđ€đœ
Steer left, turns you right. Hit the apex right is a art. Performance Bike gave a brilliant right up years ago about reading the road ahead. When the legends Ronnie Smith & Gus Scott were walking this rock. R.I.P. guys. đ
Hi Kate,
Well, I've gotta say, very impressed with your track day! You absolutely carved up a storm, you rode with such confidence, your lines were awesome, not to mention your speed and over taking skills. Totally stoked just watching you. đ€đđŒ You were riding the ZX10R like a Pro, my brother in law has the same track bike, so yeah, very impressed!
Take care đŹđ§, ride safe đ”đšđšđš, and, HooooRooo till next time...
Annie from Oz...đđČâ
Thanks Annie!!!! đ I seriously enjoyed riding the ZX10R đ I just need a lottery win now!! đ Take care chick! đ„°
Dloody ell Kate, rode it like a pro, Iâve done three rocket Roni race schools there, that last left hander before the straight got me every time, well done and thanks for sharing.
It's a swine that one! Haha
This has to be the best training track day video Kate.
Listening, learning, applied the knowledge learned. What a day you had. Thoughts about the Kawasaki 1000rr? Of course loved the "silk worm" comment.
Take care get well and have a sunny đ weekend.
I loved the ZX10R. Makes you feel alive!!
Absolutely class đ it's definitely on my bucket list, fantastic video, well done Kate đ đ€đ€đ€đȘ
Thank you so much William!
Yessss you really got it!! The rest of the spectrum of levels are all as refreshingly educational and by the time you get to your first level four you come to realise that you have been taught a language of learning!
Username Dad would, I feel sure really enjoy the benefits of the school. I want another L 4 for my 70th birthday đ
I don't think it's usernamedads thing to be honest! But who knows haha! đ and yes, I got a lot out of it!
Looks like a bloody good day out this, your quick đđđ
It was amazing Andy! And thank you ! I appreciate that, especially as it was probably running to about 80% capacity đ
Great video! Your prior experience was clearly evident in your smoothness and in how easily you cut through traffic. I love CSS and would highly recommend working your way up to Level IV and getting in some two-day camps (7 session days and even more individualized coaching and consultation). CSS is also a great way to experience track days, with less worry of riders âaimingâ for you as you follow the line.
I agree Ben! I can't wait to do more!!
Thatâs great!
Very interesting course Kate, itâs will be more interesting if you could edit and show your speed, gear and breaking to share your experience with us, super cool video đ
It's really hard work to mount cameras on these bikes, there a loads of restrictions about not having them on your tank etc. I think next time, I'll keep a camera there but put one on my instructors bikes to show me riding đ
As smooth as a silk worm's fart was definitely a highlight
Hope you donât mind me saying but go back and watch that great section where your following Mike. What he was trying to get you to do was follow his wheel tracks. In reality your watching him and when he turns, you turn meaning you were turning in a little early. I did the same thing for a long time when following people. Hope you find this helpful. Thanks again for another great vid
"As smooth as a silk worm's fart" - HAHAHAHA!
Haha he was! đȘ±
đ lucky! Iâm jelly.
Super lucky!
Kate
Love your videos! This one was great. I've been there in Cali 5 times so far and all you do is LEARN!!!
Peace Lady! đč
Ride SAFE and BE safe!
100% I learnt so much!
Yes Kate, great vid, love a bit of fun training. Nailed it out there.đ
Thansk Vern! đ
Great upload, thanks for the run down of the day. Looks like you learned a lot from the day đ
Learned so much! Can't wait to get faster!
I have SO been looking forward to this episode! I love this place!! More after watchingđâĄđ
đđđ
Fantastic stuff Kate, Brilliant Riding & Vlog!
Thanks Andrew!
Well done Kate impressed .Respect
Cheers Brian! đ»
đ€Ż Kate!!! Wow! What a vlog! It was great how you explained during the ride how the tips were benefiting you real time!
Thanks Motogordo! đđđđ
Excellent video Kate! I'm going back to Donny in a couple of weeks and it's right what you say about things being a bit too hectic on a track day really work on your flow around the track. Vision through the corners is my biggest weakness and so thanks to you I'll be signing up for one of these next year!
I did my first ever track day at Broadford, Victoria. Australia. only a month ago on an '03 Aprilia Tuono RSV 1000 (track bike) had that much fun, immediately the next day I bought a written off '14 Aprilia Tuono V4 APRC to convert to a bit of a track weapon as my daily ride is a '21 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100.
Fantastic video Kate, I was turning with youđ€Łđ€Ł.....smooth as a what đ€Łđđ.. really enjoyed and appreciated how you progress by thinking and looking ahead...quick turn really helped you to increase you pace and make the day more enjoyable for you. Aâ for Mike too đđđđđđđ needed this today thanks đâ€ïž
Thanks Iain you legend đ
Very enjoyable Kate, keep up the good work đ
Thanks Tony!
Great vlog Kate, the silk worm made me lol, big thumbs upđđ
đ€đ€đ€
Go Girl Go, great vid and well done. !!
Thanks dondle!
Superb stuff, great riding too đ
Thanks Chris!
Really smooth cornering there! đ
And an added bonus to be able to ride around a British racetrack and it is NOT RAINING! đ
Cheers from sunny Australia. đ
I know!!! They definitely ordered the weather for me! And I really enjoyed the day! I can't wait to do another one!
Great video. Must do a track day soon.
You must!!
Kate he's just showing off đđđ
Haha he made me realise, I waste so much energy through my arms haha
Awesome! I'm looking to do this next year and struggled to find anyone really explaining what level 1 covers. Thanks for this!
I really enjoyed my time on track with them!
WOW! REALLY ENJOYED YOU SHARING THIS TRACK DAY! ALMOST... FELL OUT OF MY SEAT!! HA!!! YOU ...."FAST"
MY 1ST VIEW OF YOUR CHANNEL WAS, YOU RIDING ON TRACK. I THOUGHT YOU WERE REALLY GOOD BACK THEN... BUT NOW, YOU HAVE PROGRESSED SO MUCH, BY HEARING YOU TELL US, "HOW", YOU ARE FEELING RIDING & HANDLING THE BIKE.
KNOWLEDGE IS "POWER", AND YOU ARE BECOMING A POWER- FULL RIDER. REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOU RIDE ON TRACK.
AS AN FYI, JUST SAW SOME CZcams CLIPS WITH A RIDER FROM ITALY, WHO IS ON THE SAME COURSE AS YOU. NOT A PRO RIDER BUT TRYING TO BETTER HIS LAP TIMES BY COMPARING HIS CORNER "ENTRY" & "BRAKING" & "EXIT" POINTS.
BRAKING LATER & BRINGING MORE SPEED INTO THE CORNER, A VERY SHORT APEX & EXIT LINE POINTING STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE EXIT POINT OF TRACK.
HE CAN PUT FULL POWER NOW. HIS CORNERS ARE MORE OF OF A "V" SHAPE THAN A "U" SHAPE.
EXITING IN THE LATTER, I LEARNED, YOUR BIKE IS POINTING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRACK. YOU CANNOT THROTTLE UP OR RISK LOSING THE FRONT TIRE . VIDEOS SHOWING THIS TOO.
GREAT ONBOARD VIDEO'S, SHOWING ALL OF THE ABOVE, FOLLOWING A PRO RIDER & ALL THE MISTAKES HE HAS MADE & THE "EUREKA", MOMENTS HE HAS DISCOVERED, IN HIS RIDING JOURNEY.
THE "CEREBRAL" PART HAS TO BECOME SECOND NATURE TO YOU, I GUESS.
YOU CAN THEN START TO RELAX & GET BETTER & FASTER THAN BEFORE, BY LEAPS & BOUNDS!!!
SEEING VIDEO OF HIM DOING THIS AND PASSING SLOWER RIDERS ON A DIFFERENT LINE, EXITING CORNER IN INSIDE APRON OF TRACK, YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH FASTER HIS CORNERS ARE NOW.
HE PUT OUT, ALL OF HIS MISTAKES, SO I CONTINUED TO WATCH & HIS VIDEOS, SHOW YOU "CORNERING THEORY" IN ACTION!
BY THE WAY, HE CAME OUT ON CRUTCHES, SO I THINK HE IS A HONEST RIDER, JUST SHARING "ALL" OF HIS EXPERIENCES, VIA CZcams!
THAT TAKES "GUT'S", JUST MAKING THE VIDEOS. RESPECT HIM FOR THAT... & SUBSCRIBED TO HIS CHANNEL;

I LOVE Alberto Naska, I've watched all his videos over and over haha
Damn Crocodile top video. Looks like you learned a great deal and had loads of fun. Well done Kate.
Thanks Croc! đ
That is my ultimate dream bike đ€© one passed me on the road and I let out an excited scream. My partner didnât appreciate it through the sena đ€Ł
Hi Kate,that was incredible.Brilliant.đ
Thank you Trevor! So glad you enjoyed it!
It looked a very interesting day In fact a very interesting video keep the good work up Kate đđ
Thanks Karl!
That was a really super enjoyable vlog Kate đđđ

Thanks Stevie! Glad you liked this!
@@UsernameKate loved it get well soon lovely lots of love
Kate the great đ€
Vary nice bike
Gorgeous bike
Having followed you for a while now, your apex lines have hugely improved. You will be smooth as a silk worms fart in no time yourself. Get well, get well, get well!!!
I need tooooo! I think im on the mend a may try riding next week if I'm up to it! Don't wanna run before I can walk đ
A great day out! Would have been nice to hear some of the debrief information and how and why it worked for you. Any plans to do more in the future?
A really informative video....Only done an IAM skills day on track so found this useful. Not wishing to sound patronising but from footage you were well on it....Good effort đ
The girl in this video is ace â€.I like you Kate & CRS.
perfect đđ super good Katie I can't because I can't get off the hook like before and I've sold my monkeys I hope you're enjoying greetings
Awesome video again Kate. đđ
I must admit that ZX10R really suits you well.......you looked cool as hell on that machine. I bet you wanted to ride that black and green # 37 instead? đ
Haha you know what, I thought I would too, but the green POPS đ€Łđ
At 26:11 looks like it's all coming together!
You got skills đđ
Thanks!
Great to watch and sounds like you had a great time (oh, did you get your knee down??) đ
Not that day but I'm not a stranger to getting my knee down đ
Hey Kate Looovvvee CSBS even the original stuff itâs based on read âTwist of the wrist 2â and associated video some great learning. Such a shame Andy Abbott is not still with them after his stroke he was an amazing instructor.
It's me again Kate, the guitar maker, well what should I say about this offering? I'm not gonna slag it off if that's what you're expecting, in fact I was quite impressed well done girl
Thank you Philip đ
@@UsernameKate credit where it's due!!!
Nice Video.. Greetings from Germany đ
Moto Goddess!!!!!!
I'll take it Randy! đ€Ł
Very educational video, who knew silkworms farted! Speaking of bookings Iâve had a booking but thatâs a different story. Now that youâve done the Califronia sessions you and Mike will have to do a working vacation to Califronia and Sears Point and the famous Corkscrew at Laguna Seca, the twisty roads are great too. I do my fair share of holding up fences these days darn back has a mind of its own. Looks like you had fun.
So much fun Bill! I can't wait to return!
Excellent. Thinks you should take up racing me.
I'm not fast enough, talented enough or rich enough haha
Great blog Kate,you should get commission for advertising their school đđyou looked very smooth at the end , you said they where teaching you how to steer fast, was it counter steering they where teaching?Good content Kate, well doneđđđđžđȘ
Haha I was just happy to be there! And yes đ
Great vlog, great riding smooth as a silk worms fart , hope your feeling better
Thanks Stevie!! I'm not riding yet still but I think i'm on the mend.
Loved the video. If you have never been on a track can you still do Level 1 or is track time a prerequisite?
Awesome video and great work out there đđ. What are your thoughts on the zx10r ?
Loved it on track! It's spicy for an inline 4! đ¶
đ€©đ€©đđ
Loved that video! Off topic - what earplugs are you wearing?
Thank-you! I'm wearing customfitguards CF AUTO V2s đ
đ
Thanks! đ
Whoop whoop UNK, BIG UP yourself girlfriend đ I have to say that was 'some' bedtime watching ! I thoroughly enjoyed that from start to finish. Give yourself a pat on the back girl, you the woman đ Next time, please put the GoPro on Mike's bike so i can watch your lines !! đ€Șđ€Ł Well done and night night đ
100%%%% camera on mikes bike next time!!! We need to see the gains!!
@@UsernameKate Excellent ! I was getting rather fed up of looking at Mikes bum crack !! đ€Ł
@@vernonnewman1325 đ€Łđ€Ł
@@UsernameKate Seriously though UNK, it would be beneficial for your army of followers, but more importantly for yourself. Seeing how you've improved with your lines, body positioning, braking, acceleration etc. I look forward to seeing an improving UNK ! đ
Great vid againâŠim confident i could do the âtwo gears no brakes lapsâ. Engine braking and throttle control. Howâs the patient now? Still relegated to the editing suite?? I do hope your getting better! Get some more mileage under the belt while we still have good weather. What you up to over the long weekend?
Hey Andy! Yes, haven't ventured out on 2 wheels yet but I do feel like I am FINALLY on the road to recovery!
Watching just now, looks great fun, how's the vertigo Kate, any improvement?
Some slight improvement but my ear is still blocked and sound distorted!
Ms Kate is there any bike you can't goon on? Looking real confident and riding well. The ZX10 R is a beast of a bike but you looked really comfortable. Always enjoy your content.
Ride safe! Cheers from the US!
I loved the kawasaki so much! It's an amazing bike!
Wow, that looked like fun! How far away is the nearest track for you? Obviously you love the track and are very good riding it, what is your dream track bike, say $ 25k or so? Best!
Oulton Park is 45 mins away. But cadwell, Anglesey and donny are my favourite! Oh gosh! I wouldn't know! I'd like to try something powerful on track that isn't an inline 4, just to see the difference. My friend Claudia had an R1 and that was amazing on track! So I'd like to try one of those đ
Hi Kate, which course is better this one or IAM ? Would love to give both a try?
2 entirely different kettles of fish. For track training CSBS, for skills you can apply to the road, IAM đ
What track would you recommend for a complete beginner?
Anglesey and Donny I would say!
You should contact Jenny tinmouth. She is a proper super bike racer. That would make for some good content and instruction.
I could potentially make this happen as she is part of Jamie Whithams group of instructors for his trackdays đ€ thank you for the food for thought!
