I think training courses like this are especially important this time of year. The motorcycle accident rate shoots up in the spring as the 'fair weather' riders get back in the saddle, and a bit of a brush up would probably help with that a lot. This is probably why all the courses near you were booked out though! Great job on the video, can't wait to see what you do next!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support. Yes I'm a firm believer in some form of additional real world training for those riders who have recently passed their bike test and also, as you say a refresher course at this stage of the riding season can't be a bad thing. I have loads of great stuff lined up for this year, starting with an invitation from one of my subscribers to join him for a tour of the Yorkshire Dales later this week. Watch out for that video and I will be test riding the new 450 Himalayan. Thanks again for your support x
Thanks Brian for your kind words of support and for the appreciation of a quality garment 😁. Perhaps you might consider a Bike Safe training course, if you haven't already been on one 👍
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your comments and totally agree, however I would also suggest that any form of "training " and/or assessment of basic riding skills for those new or returning riders is better than nothing 😊
BIKESAFE is not a training course. It is a workshop developed as an introduction to further advanced rider training for interested individuals. A taster if you like. Advanced riding cant be gleaned from a couple of hours of theory and an observed rideout with a mentor. Hours and hours with lots of smileage is needed before being prepared for an advanced test with the likes of the IAM Roadsmart, Rospa and others. Just wanted to give my tuppence worth. Yes. Done it all for many years !

I've done bikesafe and as you say Noel it's definitely worth doing
Thanks for your feedback John 😀
Look forward to getting out for a rideout in your part of the country 👍
