Amazing how much those tweaks to riding position make. I went to Sweetlamb a couple of weeks ago and the control and confidence has gone up a lot. No longer get as dog tired as I did when my riding was all ‘just attack it and hope’.
Ah Steve you won't be disappointed. A fantastic place and the instructors are brilliant. Have a great time when you go and thanks for watching! Stay safe. Billy
After 9 years riding bmw Gsa just moved to KTM 1290 so looking forward to getting to know the bike, I’ve been to bmw offroad 4 times so interested to see how it differs from KTM👍🏻
Oh they will have lots to say about 'how bad' the GS training is. I had the 1290 SAR previously. An absolute beast. Loved that bike. Are you using your bike or paid to hire one of their 890 R which are brilliant?
Hi billy watched both of these great experience for off road I’ve got a free first one for the BMW’s course roughly £400 I think they worth the money I’ve been on the off road track at Ryton near Coventry but that’s full on of roading jump hills I’m to old for that sort of off roading but these courses give you the training you need nice sharing 👍👍
HI Degs.I have not done the BMW school as yet. I would like to have a go to see what it is like. Let me know how you go. Like you mate, too old to be bothered with jumps etc. No where near the skill level to cope with that lol
Hi David. I believe this was the bronze experience. I lucked out as No one else was there when I did so had the instructors to myself 👍🏼. Cheers. Billy
Hi Ben. Thanks for watching and your comments! Most off road I had done to this point was pretty much hard pack dirt / gravel. This is a really great centre and the instructors are spot on. I was lucky and had the whole centre and the instructor to myself as nothing else going on on that particular weekend so I had a really great time! and felt much more confident after it! Well worth the investment! Cheers Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures Thanks Billy appreciate the reply, like you I also have a T7 and with the intention of using the bike to its full potential id like to do some training next year. Just watching the Iceland vids. Looked incredible mate a bucket list place for me. Safe riding buddy. 🤙🏼
I don't use the T7 to if full potential but the Iceland trip has spurred me on to do so. It was an absolutely epic place and trip. If you can get to do it, you will not be disappointed! The Sweetlamb venue organise days / events as well for any rider of any bike with off road capability so there will be an event for sure you can take your T7 . Also I think you can use your own bike for training as well so its a great option. I have to fess up and say the instructors there are not fans of the T7 but thats to be expected right. Still, good place to get to know your bike better. Have a great festive period! Cheers Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures Thanks buddy. Really enjoying the vids, I’ll get booked up next year, really like the idea of using my own bike too. Hopefully catch you out there sometime. Safe riding Have a great Christmas 🎅🏻 and new year 🤙🏼
The wife booked it. I think about £275 per day but that does include bike hire as well, food, tea/coffe when you have breaks. Its an extra £40 / night for accommodation.

Thanks for watching and your comments. Well worth the cost to improve riding. Cheers. Billy

Couldn't agree more. Brilliant, well worth the money! Cheers Billy

Hi Billy, looks great fun! Looking at the Web site was this a Bronze experience or Silver? TIA Dave
Hi David. I believe this was the bronze experience. I lucked out as No one else was there when I did so had the instructors to myself 👍🏼. Cheers. Billy
Hey great vids, I’m looking to get some off road training done too. Can I ask did you have any experience prior to you going?

Nice one . Cheeky question - but what does a weekend there cost ? - “🥃”..
The wife booked it. I think about £275 per day but that does include bike hire as well, food, tea/coffe when you have breaks. Its an extra £40 / night for accommodation.
