Got rid of the kids, or can now afford it ......... but how long has it been since you where last on a bike???

Bikes have changed, more power, better handling, better brakes, a far cry from the "OLD DAYS"

I offer refresher courses designed with you in mind, you tell me what you want or have me do an evaluation.  better safe than sorry!!!

Do you watch Superbikes on TV and remember the good times you had on bikes when you were younger?

Riding a motorbike can be exhilarating, but don’t be blind to reality; the bikes you used to ride may have been slow, didn’t corner too well and quite often didn’t want to stop either.

Today’s bikes are technological masterpieces. They’re built using lighter materials, have very powerful engines, large radial tyres, disc brakes and are often fitted with traction control and anti-lock brakes.

Even the expert Superbike riders get it wrong sometimes. They ride on the limit and are prepared for a fall. But remember, TV doesn’t show the agony the rider will be in the next day. Road riders can’t rely on the relative safety of a gravel trap, they’re more likely to hit a kerb, a wall, tree, lamppost, another vehicle…

The best riders have developed a higher level of concentration than the average rider and are continually scanning around them for signs of possible danger. They don’t wait for something to develop. Everything is planned; traveling at a safe speed with the bike in the right gear and in the safest position on the road.

You’ll find most of these riders have taken defensive riding courses and are constantly developing these skills.

It’s a sad fact, but riders returning to biking after a long period of time without training are more vulnerable and are likely to be involved in an accident in their first two weeks of riding.

What can you do?

If you think training is boring, try to look at it as development. After all, if you were trying to improve your golf swing or your tennis game, you wouldn’t think twice about taking lessons with a professional.

Don’t learn the hard way – the school of hard knocks can be a very painful way to learn and in some cases you don’t graduate.

Motorcyclists represent less than one per cent of all road traffic but suffer 18 per cent of deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

If it’s a long time since you rode a bike, consider taking a basic training course. Talk to us about a refresher or about advanced riding courses. I am an enthusiastic motorcyclists who is always happy to pass on my knowledge.
