The dampness evaporated as the sun shone while the enthusiastic Yamaha personnel tried their best to get rid of the stagnant water. Meanwhile Aspi got into his race leathers and geared up for the practice round. The students got onto their bikes and followed him around the track while he showed them the race line and various cornering techniques. Being privileged Bike India journalists, Adhish, Amit and I got a chance to ride with them too.
With every passing lap, Aspi increased his pace a few notches higher as the students followed him. This gradual increment in pace gave them a sense of achievement and at the same time inspired confidence as they rode in a correct manner on the track. With the speed increasing, Aspi started stressing more on cornering techniques especially weight shifting. He demonstrated what he had verbally explained earlier and urged the R15 owners to put the theory into practice.

After a few more laps, Aspi moved to the back of the field to make sure what he had taught had been absorbed well by his apprentices. He pointed out the mistakes that the riders were committing and stayed with them until they rectified their errors. As Yamaha had divided participants in batches of five, Aspi conducted multiple practice sessions with all students before retiring for the day.
This experience was a dream come true for budding enthusiasts who want to do push their steeds to the hilt and make use of the power available in the right sense. The school was not only a guide to riding better on the track but also an inspiration for prospective motorcycle owners to shed their poser image and take a serious step towards power biking and motorspons as a whole. As for Yamaha, they have already set a benchmark for other bike
