Report Claudia Terra #cmdterra Photos Razor


Razor Performance Riding (RPR) is dedicated to developing and enhancing knowledge in motorcycle maneuvers, especially on high-performance premium bikes, for increased road safety. Instruction is provided by professional instructors who have broad knowledge, insight, experience and skills. The school assists and teaches the student to develop the level of confidence and basic and advanced skills in low speed maneuvers with the motorcycle until the development of advanced knowledge for the competition. Razor teaches advanced pilot techniques where students develop concentration and rapid processing of thinking and confidence for decision making at the helm of the motorcycle and thus prevent accidents.

Razor was created by the North American Scott Overstreet, who is the owner and instructor, in April 2014, is headquartered in Florida-USA. Scott is an award-winning racing driver, who has motorcycle in his life since he was a child. His passion for motorcycling led him to develop his own riding skills and to create Razor: "The name Razor came from a nickname given to me by friends because of my riding style," Scott explains. He has a great spirit of joy and loves to share his knowledge to help motorcyclists to always have safe riding and to live fully with the pleasure of riding their motorcycles: "I like to see my students learning and having fun with their bikes, everything in tune with good energies, "says Scott. Razor has partnered with Harley Davidson in the United States, Spain and Brazil, where the school is present. And, according to Scott, soon Razor will be present in other countries. Scott is certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) as an Instructor in the years 2001 and in 2002 as Rider Coach. In 2008, he was certified as Police Motor Operator and in 2012 as Police Motor Operator Instructor. He also competes annually for motorcycle training and competition seminars in the United States. All RPR courses are developed with theoretical part and practical part. The classes are passed on to students with four fundamental approaches where they are taught RPR concepts. The instructor explains the course and the exercise and then demonstrates the method to be used and then the students will do what they have been taught. All levels of training will discuss and include, among others, the following teachings: entry

Razor Riders Brazil


Here in Brazil Razorn is officially present this year and already prepares its physical headquarters in Campinas-SP, with Razor Riders Brazil, which has as instructor and director Lylian Tsai, who is also director of HOG in Campinas and represents officially the Razor Performance Riding (RPR) here in Brazil. In addition to Campinas, Razor is present in the capital SĂŁo Paulo, with PVB (Low Speed Piloting) and with Safe Rider in Curitiba-PN. There are plans for expansion and training of new instructors throughout Brazil. According to Lylian, Razor in Brazil offers the same courses that are offered by North American Razor. The courses are normally offered at the school, can be carried out by the students individually, personalized with private lessons. The students have different levels of piloting. Both civilian and military. We teach anyone, independent of the motorcycle, because the technique of piloting is for low speed and for any motorcycle. Razor students are made up of many owners of Harley Davidson motorcycles, including women. Many have already taken the course: "Most students enrolled have the Electra Glide Ultra bike, because this bike is more difficult to maneuver and applying our technique is possible driving at low speeds without any difficulty, "explains Lylian Tsai. Evolution and riding ability happen according to the intensity of the training: "It's a progression, every time you train, you increase your ability a little. We're always learning something new, "recalls Lylian.


Lylian, who also dentist, likes to do her motorcycle training on her own and talks about her enchantment for the Harley Davidson maneuvers of some American cops, which made her decide to do the same with her Harley here in Brazil: "I always admired the cops Americans making maneuvers between the cones and I had a bike the same, that's when I decided that I could do it too. Scott was instrumental so that I could learn, because no Brazilian instructor was able to teach me. I started training when I replaced my Harley Davidson Deluxe bike with Road King Police. Scott was my coach from the start. I trained for a year in Brazil, trained every weekend, without exception. I just did not train when it rained. He trained me online. I got ready for a year to get the Motor School course in Florida. It is a very difficult course. I spent 10 days training all day in Florida and on the last day got the test.


The test consists of making a circuit in a certain time, without making mistakes, that is, without touching any cone, without putting foot to the ground, without tumbling motorcycle, etc. I always trained here and there without using the brake. A very difficult technique. According to Scott I was his only student who did all the training and testing without a brake, the test is a succession of exercises, a circuit. They call it "no brake". Here in Brazil I trained for a year, training every Saturday and Sunday, except when it rained. It rains a little in Indaiatuba, where I live. And I trained for 10 days all day in the USA. From under the sun, intense heat. Was difficult! You have to have fitness. Staying from 8:30 am until 6:00 pm training is arduous. Even at intervals. I train and teach. I like to train alone, I rarely train with anyone. I concentrate better alone, "says the instructor who enchants with his perfect control over the great and beautiful bikes. And for those who love their beautiful motorcycles and want to have 100% control and safety in the maneuvers Lylian gives the hint: "For motorcyclists and motorcyclists who want to increase their skills, I say that you train whenever you can, learn the correct technique and apply in training . Skill improves by properly applying technique and training often.

Razor, special presence with his techniques in other pilot schools In addition to its own headquarters, Razor in Brazil accepts invitations from other driving schools to be present at its premises to teach Razor's driving techniques to all who wish. To do so, it is enough that the school has good safety equipment for both the motorcyclist and motorcycle (protection to avoid damages in case of falls) and safe place to perform the training. According to Lylian, the maximum number and student per class is only six, so that everyone will receive the full attention in the execution of the maneuvers and do them in complete safety. Razor's intention is to be present all over the country, taking their techniques to all, so that they can always safely ride and enjoy and enjoy their bikes with confidence in any transit situation or on the highways.


Always good to do what we like the best form we can and learn new techniques that give us more safety and confidence in the daily maneuvers on our bikes gives us more pleasure and joy, avoiding accidents, falls and damages on motorcycles and ourselves. That's it, let's always ride with safety and harmony in traffic and on highways.
