Total Control - Advanced Riding Clinic:

In today's age of high-horsepower superbikes large-displacement cruisers and super-heavy-weight tourers riding skills are more important than ever for safe fun motorcycling. Unfortunately for experienced riders there is a large gap between the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Experienced RiderCourse (ERC) and the many racetrack schools around the country. Many riders are interested in improving their skills but are unwilling to take on the additional risks associated with a high-speed environment. If you fit into the "I'm interested but..." group you're not alone. In fact if you add up all the attendees of all the race schools together they only represent a tiny percentage of street riders. This is not to say they are not good schools. To the contrary they have much to offer. But they are not for everyone. Fortunately Lee Parks' Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic (Total Control ARC) has a solution for those experienced riders "caught in the middleas well as those track-day junkies and racers who want to be able to further enhance their skills in a controlled environment with expert instruction.

Who Teaches It

PTT staff trained by Lee Parks... Dave Ruocco

Chief instructor Lee Parks has been racing for over 20 years and won the 2001 G.M.D. Computrack National Endurance Series Championship in the Lightweight class. He also finished 2nd in the 1994 AMA 125GP national championship in its exhibition year. He spent five years as the editor and chief test rider of Motorcycle Consumer News where he road tested every new street motorcycle available in the U.S. and became one of the top performance-testing journalists in the world. Lee is now the president of Lee Parks Design, a motorcycle gear and accessory manufacturer and brand management consulting firm.

How It Works

Part of the reason for the program's success is the dynamic classroom training, which includes both theory and application of the Total Control ARC techniques. By including a basic analysis of vehicular dynamics, riders get a clear understanding of how their actions affect their bikes. For instance, in the suspension portion of the class, riders learn how to analyze the effectiveness of their suspension and how to set it up for maximum control and comfort.

The range portion of the training is done in a large parking lot or skidpad where each of the skills are individually broken down and practiced. Working on only one skill at a time is the fastest way to make consistent riding improvements. The beauty of doing it this way is that the student is never asked to make a huge leap of faith" in any one area. Each skill is built up in small two-mph increments until the desired result is achieved. This allows for high confidence and never gets too scary. In fact cornering speeds never go above 25 mph. While this may seem slow in a tight enough corner 25 is very very fast. Combined with a strategic "building block" formula for integrating the individual skills into a complete riding package the Total Control ARC enables riders to learn faster and easier than ever before. Equally important all the Total Control ARC skills are taught with their direct applications for street riding. After all knowing how to do something is of little value if you don't understand when and where to use it.
