1. The opportunity

Streetwise Rider Training is seeking sponsorship partners to support racer John Burns in his Australian Superbike Championship campaign across Rounds 3, 4 and 5 of the 2026/2027 season.

Our goal is to build strong partnerships with businesses that want to connect their brand with motorcycle racing, rider development, performance, safety and a passionate motorsport community.

A particular highlight is the ASBK event at Phillip Island, where Australian superbike racing shares the international stage with the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK). This provides an exciting opportunity to promote our sponsors to an audience of motorcycle enthusiasts, racing fans and industry professionals.

We invite businesses to become part of the Streetwise racing journey and help us take our racing program to the next level.

2. About Streetwise Rider Training

Streetwise Rider Training Pty Ltd is an established motorcycle training business dedicated to helping riders become safer, more skilled and more confident on the road and on the track.

Led by director John Burns, who brings more than 30 years of experience in the motorcycle training industry, Streetwise delivers practical rider training focused on real-world skills and continuous improvement.

Our philosophy is simple:

Ride safer. Do more training. Be Streetwise.

We believe these values align with businesses that support performance, safety, personal development and Australian motorsport.

3. Meet the racer — John Burns

John Burns is the racer representing Streetwise Rider Training.

John combines his professional background in motorcycle training with his passion for competitive motorcycle racing. His involvement in racing provides a practical connection between the skills required on the track and the knowledge that Streetwise shares with riders through its training programs.

Our racing campaign is an opportunity to build the Streetwise brand, develop business relationships and create promotional opportunities for our sponsors.

4. Why ASBK?

The Australian Superbike Championship is one of Australia’s leading motorcycle road-racing championships, attracting competitors, teams, fans and industry supporters.

The Phillip Island event is particularly attractive because of its association with the international WorldSBK program.

For sponsors, motorcycle racing offers an opportunity to connect with an engaged audience and showcase their business in an environment built around performance, engineering, reliability and competition.

Our sponsorship campaign will focus on three rounds, giving us multiple opportunities to promote participating businesses before, during and after race events.

STREETWISE RIDER TRAINING

Ride safer. Do more training. Be Streetwise.

09/10/2026

This is a lot more common than you think, let’s start the conversation.

💙 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2026
Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder of how important it is to talk openly about mental health, listen to each other’s stories, and create spaces where people feel safe to share their experiences without fear of judgement.

For me, this message is at the heart of Ride with Anxiety. 🏍️💗

Anxiety can look different for everyone. It can be the nervousness before a ride, the fear of getting something wrong, the overwhelming thoughts that tell us we aren’t good enough, or the battle between wanting to do something we love and feeling held back by fear.

I know firsthand what it feels like to experience anxiety while riding a motorcycle. As a psychologist, I also understand how powerful it can be to share our experiences, feel understood, and learn that we aren’t alone.

💙 This is why sharing our stories matters.

When we talk honestly about our experiences, we help others recognise that what they’re feeling is okay. We challenge the stigma around anxiety and mental health. We create opportunities to learn from each other and discover strategies that can help us move forward.

Through Ride with Anxiety, I want riders to know that:
🏍️ You aren’t the only one who experiences anxiety.
💗 You don’t have to hide your fears or pretend to be confident.
💬 Talking about anxiety is a sign of awareness, not weakness.
🌱 Confidence can grow, even when anxiety is part of the journey.
🤝 You don’t have to navigate the journey alone.

One of the most powerful things we can do is listen to someone else’s story without immediately trying to fix it. Sometimes, knowing someone understands is the first step towards change.

And this goes beyond riding. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, grief, stress, burnout, or a difficult time in your life, your experience matters. Your voice deserves to be heard.

Real voices create real connection. Real stories help break down stigma. And listening can help create real change. 💙

Today, I encourage you to check in with yourself and the people around you. Ask someone how they’re really going. Make space for an honest conversation. Share your own story if you feel comfortable doing so.

And if you’re a rider who has experienced anxiety, I’d love to hear from you.

💬 Has talking about your anxiety or hearing someone else’s story helped you? What do you wish more people understood about anxiety and mental health?

Let’s keep sharing, listening and supporting each other — on and off the bike.

Because riding with anxiety doesn’t mean giving up on the things we love. And living with mental health challenges doesn’t mean we have to face them alone. 💙🏍️
