glad you enjoyed it Tim, I think peeps are put off by the mention of "training" in certain quarters and the fact that the Police are involved. As others have said tho.....very worthwhile and enjoyable so spread the word
give us some feedback on the performance plus day (is this training for the track?) and get on a RoSPA course too

Performance plus is training on a track but not for a track more info here
I like the idea of the "free lapping section"

Give it A go you will enjoy it, even experienced riders will get something from it. there was a bloke there Saturday who passed his test in the sixties and has always ridden a bike.

Yes I agree riding in the wet will teach you how to be a better rider ---- in the wet.
Don't do wet but ride plenty of times on cold damp greasy roads which is worse for slippery. I just don't like getting wet, been there done that for 4 years when I was 17 when I had no choice, now I do have a choice, I choose not to.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Can not argue with you on that BBROWN but it also makes you wet, and like fazersharp I am also made of sugar and do not wish to dissolve  :sun [size=78%].[/size]

I don't ride in the rain either. Come to think of it, my bike doesn't get out that much in the dry weather either.

To be fair I don't ride in the rain either unless I have no choice (on tour or on an arranged rideout)
So am I a fair weather rider? yes if I can help it :)

Yeah but the reason your bike does not go out in the rain or any other weather come to that is that it's a Honda, and if I had one I would be to embarrassed to go out on it too, unless of course it was at night.


Do you go to the petrol station in your car and get cans of fuel so you don't have to be seen in there on the Honda.  :fish :kiss

I wish the fazer were made by Honda, no more cheese screws, snapped exhaust studs, falling off front sprockets, rusted downpipes, buzing noises,and crap lights,

Ahhhhh nothing like a bit of Yamaha loyalty. I replaced all my cheese screws for playdough ones,
