More Information Coming Soon!

The CSBA Australia welcomes all motorcycle riders, family and friends. We cater to sport bikes and motards and have a "ride what you brung" attitude, if you don't mind corners.

Please contact Chapter President John Lasure Jr. to learn more about how you may contribute and what opportunities your contribution will provide to the community.

The head of our team, and our team chaplain, is Joe Cotterino. He is joined in this ministry by his wife Denise, and his daughter Cecilia.

The fourth member of our team is Jake Johnson. He has just joined us this year, but has already proven to be an incredible blessing from God to our ministry.

God uses our team as a whole to minister to our fellow racers through our testimonies and relationships with each other, and our fellow racers, at the track, both during the race season, and during the off-season. We have also seen Him use us in great ways at various speaking engagements that we do when we are not ministering during a race weekend.

CSBA Day @ The Races

Welcome to the CSBA Day @ The Races! Established in the Spring of 2013, our track day program was instituted by Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter President John Lasure Jr. as an outlet to expand our outreach ministry and introduce more riders to controlled track day riding. We launched our inaugural track day event on June 11, 2013 with Absolute Cycle Experience, a local track day organization that handles all of the complex logistics of renting track time. Our first experience began with our arrival at the gate of New Jersey Motorsports Park where we met the staff from Absolute Cycle Experience, all of whom were extremely helpful in getting us prepared for our first event. As the day progressed, they continued to provide us with encouragement, support, knowledge, and suggestions to improve our track riding while ensuring that we were having a great time. Upon the conclusion of our first track day event, we were left with a very positive impression of the organization, their expert coaching, and track day format.

Since that first track day event we have continued to expand the venue and now hold at least one track day event a month during the warmer riding months (April through October).   During each event we set up a hospitality area to provide refreshments and informational materials to all the riders and guests who are attending that day. While we enjoy riding around the track testing the limits of machine and man, the most rewarding activity is getting to meet new and old friends to share a story, a prayer, a hug, and develop the strong bond of friendship with one another.

In our ever growing task to build on this venue, we support our continued vision of what the CSBA Day @ The Races mission is all about, which is "To enjoy a joyful spirit and fellowship with fellow riders, while always learning and testing our limits for this passion we have for two wheeled movement.  We shouldn't be afraid to test our limits as that's how true growth in anything is experienced".  If you have never done a track day, do yourself a favor and try to get in at least one session.   It will surely make you a better street rider.   The pace is yours to set; grab a partner and explore.   See you on the track soon!

Thanks again for everyone's support in our events and our efforts to continue to expand upon our CSBA Day @ The Races venue.   Remember to keep on eye on our schedule for all upcoming events and please come out to join us.

Map and Directions:

The CSBA is made up of different age groups, backgrounds and denominations. Some of our members are involved in racing, some ride every day, others only on weekends. But we all get a buzz from riding.

If you're walking with Jesus, join us.
If you've fallen off the path, join us.
If you're uncertain of the path, join us.

We promise no worldly gain or accolades.

We do promise new friendships, fast roads and an exciting ride.

How to Form Your Own Biker Gang, written by Jerry Smith (motorcyclist magazine)
The title of this article is somewhat misleading, as many see "biker gang" and think uh-oh this doesn't sound good specially in regard to a sport bike group since they aren't generally associated as a "biker gang". The reality is that the article talks about proper riding etiquette and safety when riding with a group of motorcycles, not about gangs. Ironically the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the CSBA follows many of these principles and has since its onset. Its a good read and the full article can be read via the following links:
How to Form Your Own Biker Gang

The Pace, written by Nick Ienatsch (motorcyclist magazine)
The following principles were originally published in Motorcyclist in June, 1991, then revised in June '93 in Sport Rider Magazine. Today these principles are still applied and very important to understand. The full article can be read via the following links:
The Pace - Separating street from track, riding from racing

1. Set cornering speed early. Blow the entrance and you'll never recover.
2. Look down the road.
3. Maintaining a high visual horizon will reduce perceived speed and help you avoid panic situations.
4. Steer the bike quickly.
5. There's a reason Wayne Rainey works out - turning a fast-moving motorcycle takes muscle.
6. Use your brakes smoothly but firmly.
7. Get on and then off the brakes; don't drag 'em. - Get the throttle on early.
8. Starting the drive settles the chassis, especially through a bumpy corner.
9. Never cross the centerline except to pass. - Crossing the centerline in a corner is an instant ticket and an admittance that you can't really steer your bike. In racing terms, your lane is your course; staying right of the line adds a significant challenge to most roads and is mandatory for sport riding's future. - Don't crowd the centerline.
10. Always expect an oncoming car with two wheels in your lane. - Don't hang off in the corners or tuck in on the straights. Sitting sedately on the bike looks safer and reduces unwanted attention. It also provides a built-in safety margin.
11. When leading, ride for the group.
12. Good verbal communication is augmented with hand signals and turn signals; change direction and speed smoothly. - When following, ride with the group.
13. If you can't follow a leader, don't expect anyone to follow you when you're setting the pace.

4. Jesus lived a sinless life (II Corinthians 5:21)

6. Jesus was bodily resurrected on the third day and now sits at the right hand of God making intercession for believers (Mark 16:9-19)
7. Jesus will come again in the future for His church (I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
8. Jesus is the only name under Heaven by whom we must be saved (Acts 4:12)
