Advanced and Defensive Riding, changing bikers into skilled riders.

Techniques

All instruction is based on the police techniques as outlined in 'Motorcycle Roadcraft' which is the 'bible' for all advanced riders.

Following a short assessment ride and debrief of your riding style, our instructor then gives a demonstration ride, with a running commentary throughout. During the early stages of the training he acts like your eyes and gives you guidance and advice over the radio as the ride progresses.

All aspects of advanced riding will be taught, such as observation, planning, position, braking, use of throttle, cornering and many other aspects that make a good advanced rider.

You will be guided through every stage of advanced riding techniques, pointing out all hazards and dangers, assessing the situation and planning your approach to deal with them, including the correct point to reduce speed, position to adopt, the gear you should be in and smooth use of the throttle to negotiate the danger.

As the course progresses, your progress is constantly monitored and assessed and your average speed, particularly on bends, will improve considerably. You will be able to gauge your own progress and enjoyment as your skills improve during the ride.

Wet weather riding is a situation quite often dreaded by riders, confidence in the rain will increase considerably due to a smoother riding style and relaxed approach to the dangers of wet roads.

All problems will be addressed in depth until you are able to master the correct procedures, cordinate them and become a far safer rider.

You will be riding for 90% of the course - no time wasting like some schools. One to one instruction at all times to guarantee best results.
