In the world of motorcycle education, a new beacon of knowledge has emerged. Former AMA Supersport racer and California Superbike School (CSS) Coach Misti Hurst has launched Discovering the Art of Cornering the first installment in her Life in the Fast Lane series. This Comprehensive guide is set to redefine how riders approach cornering dynamics, both on the street and the track.
The book’s release follows a successful Kickstarter campaign and strong pre-sale momentum, indicating a significant demand for Hurst’s expertise. With a foreword by motorcycle training legend Keith Code, the guide promises to bridge the gap between complex riding physics and practical, real-world application.
Keith Code’s Endorsement and the Book’s Unique Approach
Keith Code, founder of the California Superbike School, has personally endorsed the book, stating, “You need to read this book. The straight dope is in here for you—it’s worth it.” This high-profile validation underscores the book’s potential impact on the motorcycle community.
Discovering the Art of Cornering is designed to build rider confidence and safety through a straightforward approach to cornering mechanics. It covers essential topics such as bike placement, traction management, and cornering execution. By combining structured training concepts with real-world examples and global racing stories, the book serves as a masterclass in high-performance riding.
Exclusive Editions and Scholarship Fund
The launch of the book is accompanied by a range of exclusive editions, each contributing to the Forever 45 Peter Lenz Scholarship Fund. This initiative aims to provide riders with professional track instruction, ensuring the future of motorcycle education.
Among the special editions are the Dual-Signed Scholarship Edition ($215 USD), limited to 150 copies worldwide, and the Single-Signed Scholarship Edition ($155 USD), limited to 250 copies. Each purchase directly supports the scholarship fund, with $36 USD and $18 USD respectively donated per copy.
To date, the fund has successfully sent its first recipient, Rachel, to the California Superbike School for a full day of elite instruction. A matching sponsor has also stepped forward to fund a second rider’s tuition, highlighting the community’s commitment to rider education.
Looking Ahead: Track Minded and Beyond
As riders master the street fundamentals presented in Discovering the Art of Cornering the series will shift focus to closed-circuit performance. The second book, Track Minded is currently in development and will delve into advanced racing psychology, track layout mastery, and high-speed riding techniques. Pre-orders for the sequel are expected to open by the end of the year.
Misti Hurst’s mission with the Life in the Fast Lane series is clear: to cut through the noise of conflicting advice and provide riders with the simple, effective tools they need to ride better, safer, and faster. By directly funding real-world education through the Peter Lenz Scholarship Fund, Hurst is not only sharing her expertise but also investing in the future of the sport.
