Re: Advanced Riding Course - £30!!

Ruth you'll get a lot out of it, don't worry about what he may pick up about your riding 'cos non of us are perfect. He even fooked up a couple of times with his riding so we can all learn and fair play to you for wanting to ride better- I've been out riding three times this week working on just those two points and it's brilliant putting it into practice and noting the difference it's making to my riding.

Enjoy.

Re: Advanced Riding Course - £30!!

Well - finally got to do my days training. Have to say I really enjoyed it. Fair to say that some improvement was made through the day which was good!

Although it did find myself riding a bit like a power ranger at one point!! And the concentration was a killer. When he commented on the nice rolling Shropshire Hills, i silently asked myself, 'what chuffin hills?'

Bargain for thirty squid

Re: Advanced Riding Course - £30!!

Good on you Ruth......I did a Bike Safe day for £30 with the Met Police the other week and even after 41 years of riding bikes and many advanced driving courses with the Fire Service I got a good few tips out of it.

NEVER too late to listen and learn.

Re: Advanced Riding Course - £30!!

I am going to try and get on one of these or, at least, one with The Police. Main reason is that I ride a number of bikes and The Harley (XL1200s - 2003) is so different. As a newcomer to the world of The Harley (always wanted could not afford) I can find my concentration wavering.... as I get used to the gearbox and rolling off before changes. I think I need to get out there a lot more on it and get some professional advice / constructive criticism too on the machine and thats after 30yrs of riding a lot of other stuff thats a heck of a lot faster, but not upto 60 I may add. I guess I aint too proud to know when I need it ~ if it enhances both safety and enjoyment.
