Speed is Power

Last week, some of the essential factors to being a successful racer were portrayed. This week, we will explore more on the other factors that are definitely needed by any person wishing to end up as a racing professional.

Along with all the elements in our hearts that add to the passion of motor racing, there comes the idea of obtaining a superbike. There are many models today and fanatics have a wide range of choices. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Ducati are the most favourable options available, and it is upon the racer's wish to choose his bike. The bike should be light, speedy and cater to conditions such as an electronically combined ABS and low body mufflers.

After you buy a bike, you cannot expect to simply climb over it and zoom away. Racing needs an experienced coach and extreme care. If mishandled, you could crash and shatter your racing dreams as well. Training is all that's important. It is not possible to think of victories if you do not know how to handle a superbike. A good trainer and an easy-to-reach practice track are the basics when it comes to motor racing. The most successful racer is one who has received training on bicycles when he was small, and then on heavy bikes, whether it was with the intention of chasing his dreams or to simply go joy riding.

A racer should be able to adapt himself to all harsh conditions, whether it be bad weather or injuries. To prevent really harmful injuries, the obvious material every racer should use is a helmet. An attractive racing suit comes next. These suits are protective; they prevent harsh scratches and burns that racers sustain on fiery hot racing tracks.

Racers today wish to obtain these suits early so they can try them out and make them feel comfortable, rather than feeling stuffy and uneasy when it comes to the Big Day.

Okay. Now we have the trainer, the bike and the suit. What more is needed? People today desire a ride on free roads, especially at night, and these nightly rides with a bunch of supportive friends can improve riding skills greatly, as the rider is free to zip along the roads, regardless of any rules.

With these gifts at hand the rider can begin his racing career. These are still not enough to become the racer of anyone's dreams; and the other important aspects of a racer's sports life will follow this week's edition of 'Speed is Power'.
