for someone who just failed their cbt these were excellent explanations, thank you

Some videos on learning methods and delivering content to riders would be useful to us observers. Cheers

Really interesting and informative, thank you John.

Hi John, even though this series is four years old, it still merits feedback. A great course, well presented and of course it does not substitute signing up for some rider training. I studied Roadcraft and took lessons with ROSPA for my car. When I got a motorcycle, I applied the learning to my motorcycle along with reading the Motorcycle Roadcraft Manual. Why do people not take up further training after doing their tests ? I think there are probably many reasons. My first thought would be to ask, how do people become aware of such courses and their value? I know that taking lessons and studying Roadcraft changed me as driver/rider and made both more pleasurable to do, I always enjoy riding and driving now! Interestingly, I became aware of Roadcraft and advanced rider/driver training after being given a summons for doing 32mph in 30 mile zone. I attended a driver awareness course that I found very interesting. Afer the course I stayed behind and spoke with the presenters who suggested I look at ROSPA and Roadcaft. Best thing I ever did ! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, skills and passion for riding!

Hi John, I have watched up to part 15 and will continue until the end. An excellent set of videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience on TH-cam. I am sure that took some planning and time to do, much appreciated 🙂

fab job

Boss you must say this is lovely Scotland NOT JUST Scotland

the knowledge from scotsmen comes flowimg no end wether bikes or medicine they are fab😀😍

Well put together series. Thank you

These really are fantastic in-depth, well instructed and thought out videos. Well done mate.

This is the best beginner series on the internet.

What book is that being used please?

John, thank you so much for this CBT video series. I wish I had watched these before taking on my CBT last month. I really struggled with slow speed manouvres - I was leaning my body weight into the turns while I was looking round and kept putting my foot down as a result. The instructor did not advise on correct body positioning and as a result I continued to lose the bike into the turns. I was let go before the road portion. I will be trying at a different school when the weather is kinder early next year. The knowledge from these videos has already boosted my confidence and understanding, so really appreciated.

Like the explanations but the background noise particularly the wind noise is painfully distracting.

Brilliant

It isn't the 1st time I have watched these videos since they were created but am really hoping within next few months to re do my cbt and dac with Pro scot finger's crossed but thank you once again John for the effort you put into these videos and everything uv done since I 1st done my cbt in1999

This is as close as you can get to an actual CBT experience other than actually taking it. Excellent!! 👍😎

best in depth videos thakyou very much sir.

Hi guys . Thanks alot for these videos inhave finally watch all 9 ,cbt is in a few days tbh and with zero knowledge of bikes , it's been an education 👍 thank you and good luck for the future,

Thank you so much for creating that series! It’s structured so well and the demonstrations really helped me to understand why we need to do certain things and avoid others. Simple things like the pencil on the cooker to demonstrate lean angles and grip! Brilliant. I wish I lived nearer as I’d definitely go for an advanced course with ProScot! Thanks again - awesome 👍

Great content, I’m a new rider at 60years of age and there is no videos on TH-cam that are more educational than yours, o appreciate your insights which helps me wake up and move forward with riding. Bless you!!!! 🎉

12:45

10:47 😂

But minus the music, really 👍

No need for the pumping music! Can't hear you speak????

That was a great video John. Thankyou. Really good to expose the difference between roadcraft and trackcraft, and the need to respect the difference. I learned a lot.

👍

Very helpful 👍🍻

Great instruction, informative and strangely relaxing. I like bikes!

A great series of videos. I realise you were heavily restricted during the heights of lockdown. I’m just starting my IAM journey after passing my Mods 6 months ago. I used your Mods / CBT videos to help me get my head round some of the stuff during L-Test training. Keep doing what you do best.

I've just subscribed to your great channel from Derbyshire.England. This channel and yourself have great videos and expert Instruction delivered for the subjects covered in my opinion. I'm 60yrs of age..been riding various bikes since I was 11yrs old. Passed my bike test in 1982. I started a job years ago which involved 300 mile per week commute in all seasons, as a result I wanted to undergo some training did a Bikesafe course in 2014, followed that up with an ERS course 2015, then RoSPA course in 2015 (Gold). Then I did IAM course (F1RST) in 2016. Then followed by ROSPA retest (GOLD) 2018 and another RoSPA retest (GOLD)2021. The right training is so important for potential riders or experienced riders. Really enjoyed your expert advice and films. Many many thanks . 🏍️💨

Hi John, thanks for making such an enjoyable series of videos, as being in my late fifties and got my licence last year, you have inspired me to go for further training and hope to improve my skills with ProScot early next year. Once again thanks John. Cheers Alex.

This isn’t Holland it’s Scotland! Great point, and with all our potholes we need slalom skills from the start

A lot of riders told me to use the rear brake first (not that I do that but it’s interesting how advice differs from place to place).

At 4:00, with a car on the left, I usually move in my lane to the furthest spot from the car (pretty much the middle of the road) because the movement makes the bike more easy to see, and it maximizes the distance just in case. Is that a good strategy or are there any drawbacks to this approach?

The best explanation and demo of blind spots I’ve ever heard. Thank you, I learned something even as an experienced rider.

Thanks a lot. I learned so much

Absolutely stunning scenery there lads , myself and some friends are planning on doing a Scottish tour late spring next , we,ll be heading up from Dublin 👍👍

Thank you!

More Paint = More Danger ! - Definitely the clearest and easiest understood description of the different road markings i've come across. Thanks John.

Just wanna say, you know what you're talking about dude. I'm taking a refresher with you soon, ive done a wee fair bit of riding, and id like to take my hat off to you sir, you know what you're talking about, and i look forward to training with your team.

Best video I have seen full explanations and demonstrations on good and bad points

Sometimes you do a right life saver on roundabouts but not always?

Why do I feel sorry for Lewis 😂

Would it be safer to have a slipper clutch on bikes?

This is an excellent video, thank you for explaining things so clearly. I always struggle with u turns and now I fully understand why. It has been a great help.

no wonder I am struggling with my bike, I bought an R1 and Ive never been on a motorcycle before

watched all 9 of the CBT ones,, just watching these now to 1 to 31 2:04 into this one looked scary

Thanks for a great series of videos. Great instruction & very useful to see Lewis's hands on this video; it helps to understand how fast to 'wring the cloth' during gear change & when/how the front brake is used on the road. ... Watched these videos a good few times over the last couple of months & managed to pass the CBT & theory test this week. ... now working on improving muscle memory to get ready for mod 1 & 2. Thanks again.

This has been an extremely useful series of videos. Great, practical advice. Definitely helped me pass the CBT & be safer on the road. Thank you.
