We want a full report afterwards.....and good luck!

Well had a really enjoyable day, as has been mentioned not a training day (they stress that) even so still picked up plenty of tips.
The observed ride was on a one to one basis witch made things easier, enjoyed the ride helped by riding roads I'm reasonably familiar with, got good feedback from the observer & got a B rating (apparently no-one gets an A) so very pleased with that Overall a great day & I would recommend it to anyone hasn't done anything like it.
Next up I'm going to do the performance plus course, this is a proper training day at Cadwell park, so looking forward to that
Cheers Tim

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

[dickturpin]

Spill the beans.....tell us the tips and what you think you learned!

[maddog04]

just go on one dickturpin.....you'll learn and enjoy at the same time

[dickturpin]

Thought someone might say that!

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.

[maddog04]

that looks really good Tim, keep us up to speed with the result

[BBROWN1664]

:agree

Great day out and no matter how experienced you are, you will learn something. Even if it is just how well plod ride their bikes.

[Cellarman]

Performance plus now booked, should be a good day

[tommyardin]

Do they still do it if its raining !. If it starts raining can I go home.

I'm with you on that Fazersharp, riding is meant to be fun not wet un

[BBROWN1664]

:agree though riding in the wet will teach you a lot more than riding on sticky tarmac

[fazersharp]

:agree though riding in the wet will teach you a lot more than riding on sticky tarmac

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.

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  un [size=78%].[/size]

:agree

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.

[Cellarman]

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

[tommyardin]

:agree

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
