The Yamaha Champions Riding School is now offering ChampU, a less expensive riding curriculum utilizing online videos and drills.

There you go! If you are new to riding or new to street bikes, or you simply want to improve your technique, but you don’t have the means to get to a school location, this is where you should start!
But if someone thinks we can realistically do it, I’ll seriously consider making it there.
Mesnwhile, I went ahead and bought a ChampU package, mainly because my son will be ready for a street bike in about 4 or 5 years 😱 and I want him to know this material by heart!
I thought I'd never see that. Ha ha. Rather read Nick's own book, and cheaper . Yes, the best approach is to take track school (I've done a few), but it's pretty costly. The bottom line is to do SOMETHING, to minimize the chances of an accident.
I've read Nick's book quite a few times. I'm hoping that I'll glean a little more from a visual format. Mostly because I'm a visual learner. We'll see but I've spent $50 on stupider things for sure.
Why not? Seems like a lot of people, either new to street bikes or new to bikes completely, seem to be posting up, asking how they should ride their MT09. I feel like a logical place to point them is in the direction of ChampU.
Or, alternatively, we could just continue to answer the same questions with the same answers, over and over and over again…
Yeah, there are like 2 pages of 'stickies' already. Ha ha. With that many, probably nobody pays attention to them anymore.
