~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hello my name is JC, (a.k.a XCELR8R) and I'm an Alcoholic, oh wait sorry wrong site, I mean I'm ahh, motorcycle junkie, yea that's it a motorcycle junkie, hehehe,LOL. Come on that's funny...
Yea I have a sense of humor, it's a kind of strange one but I do have one none the less...
OK back to biz..
Well I have been riding motorcycles for 36 years of which 26 have been spent on the street. My entire life has been spent working around motorcycles, which illustrates my passion for riding. I use to ride and drag race a GSX-R 1100 in the 80's - 90's. I now ride a 2001 Hayabusa and a 2005 GSXR 1000 on the street. Additionally, I have competed in several track days at Laguna Seca, Thunder Hill and Willow Springs Raceways on a GSX-R 750 and a Hayabusa. For years, I have coached friends on safety, closing speeds, lean angles, braking points, body and eye positioning, counter steering, and more. I emphasize to ride smart and that nothing replaces seat time to gain experience. I’ve witnessed terrible things happen to other riders that could have been avoided if the rider had known what to do to get out of it.!!!!!!!
However, in order to avoid accidents, there are a few things to remember : “Ride Smart” and learn how to safely control your motorcycle and most of all have fun. The more fun you have when you ride the more you will want to ride, thus giving you more riding experience and experience or seat time is what makes you better rider. So ride as much as you can !!!
I have more miles on my body than I can even count. Four cars and a one-ton truck have hit me ; yet, I still ride. I feel there is nothing better than going on a ride, alone or with friends. When riding alone, I can practice new techniques and review old ones to stay sharp and learn to be ready for anything. When riding with other riders, whom have been around and logged several miles, I gain experience.
I can ask them questions and learn from them, as they are still alive. Therefore they must be doing something right. I have lost 23 friends over the years, and I feel if I can help a fellow rider to stay alive, then I will try my best to help them in anyway I can.
I love to ride motorcycles and have put approximately 100,000
( street / mountain / track ) miles on my Hayabusa alone in just five years. Now that I can do what I love, and help others learn this “Art Form”, then I'm there.
I live by this quote - Winston Churchill expressed this “No hour of life spent in the saddle is ever wasted”.!!
Why am I here ? Lets see, I’m just kind of rolling through life right now on two wheels trying to avoid all the drama in the world. So a friend told me about this site so I thought I would post here and just maybe meet someone cool to ride or hang out with. Who knows just may run into some old friends too ? For those that don't know me, I’m an Ex- Motorcycle Rider Coach that still just LOVES to ride even after training 600 new riders in less then 2 years. Man I LOVED coaching newbies ;-).
Any how, most of my life has been spent around motorcycles and fast cars. So I spend some of my free time restoring old school muscle cars with a good friend of mine and then selling them or even racing them.
OK, I really live in the saddle so I just recently decided to start my own motorcycle web site AboutBikes. AboutBikes
As well as started a motorcycle tour biz in Central California.
CentralCaiforniaMotorcycleTours
I hope to have both of them up and going before April 2007.
I guess to sum it up, I’m just a laid back sport bike rider that restores old muscle cars during the winter when its to cold / wet out side to ride on the street. Who am I kidding, when it rains we ride dirt. LOL.
I guess if you really want more info on me, you can contact me and ask away dont be shy ;-)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have recently written a book titled :
“Learning To Ride 101”
This book was written so that anyone that was interested in riding a motorcycle could obtain the knowledge needed to get started the right way.
Inside this book you will find all the knowledge needed to pass any motorcycle safety course.
If you would like a copy of this book or a book on CD please feel free to contact me and I will make sure that you receive one.
The cost for a book on CD is only $20.00 or $30.00 for a hard copy of the book thru my space as a my space special.
Both prices include shipping cost.
PS:
California residents please add appropriate sales tax.
They will soon be available on Amazon,and a few other motorcycle outlets at a retail price of $24.95 plus $10.00 for shipping and handling.
“Learning To Ride 101” : Testimonials
This is a book written by my friend “XCELR8R”, I've read it. I can vouch for it. For the new rider it is extremely well written, clear and concise, in plain and easy-to-understand language and terms.
Nothing is left out! If you're new to riding motorcycles or are considering buying/riding a motorcycle for the first time, this book is absolutely for you!

Congratulations to “XCELR8R” for writing his book on how to develop confidence with learning to ride safely. Not only is it a good book for beginners but for riders on any level because you can always learn from sharing and validating riding experiences with everyone.
What I admire about JC is his passion for riding which comes from many years of experience on his bike and from teaching what he knows best about riding in terms of developing correct skills that could save your life one day.
I also want to thank him for taking the time away from enjoying his own riding long enough to share his knowledge by writing this book which will help anyone learn how to ride safely from the very beginning of getting to know your bike to the point of riding with confidence.
Unfortunately there are too many accidents that take place every day that may not of happened if the proper control over the bike had been taught. If you are a first time rider or even a rider with some experience you can still learn more from other riders who have had enough experience of knowing what works and what doesn't because sometimes just using your instinct isn't enough to avoid being hurt if an accident does happen.
While reading this book keep in mind that you are learning from one of the best riders out there who will give you a jump start in the right direction to becoming a professional rider without you having to learn from your own mistakes the hard way. Instead your riding experiences will be more pleasurable which will allow you to develop your own passion for riding. Enjoy and Ride Smart!

Ride Report / Review
Florida Rider rides with C.C.M.T
TO JC at C.C.M.T.:
Thank You for arranging my recent 2.5-day tour of the "byways" and sites of the Sierra Nevadas.
People say "A picture is worth a thousand words"...so, then, what is the RIDE worth?? PRICELESS.
Looking at the pictures you had posted on myspace was just not enough for this "straight road rider" from Florida, and the pictures did not compare with the experience of being there and riding those roads in person!
You were an informative tour guide and a patient coach.
I highly recommend C.C.M.T. to ANY rider who wants to experience the FUN of twisty roads and the SPLENDOR of the breath-taking views.
Thanks for all the riding advice and coaching.

Well after having my "HEART" broken and being alone for a very long time I think I may have finally found someone "SPECIAL" to share my so-called life with :)
After getting to know more about her I find myself falling more and more for her with each day that passes.
This "GIRL" now holds my "HEART" and I've fallen in “LOVE” with her !!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
