rate my riding (seriously)

[davepreston]

after reading a few posts on the subject of rideing skill, i have been wondering what am i really like, so if you have been on a rideout with me please comment,
now i dont want this to be a blow smoke up my ar5e thing or a take the mick session just honest feedback on how to improve on what you have seen
ive got a thing at the minute about all these offs and is/ was there owt i could be doing to stop them
so if you could incorperate points like
road positioning, corner speed, too fast, too slow , etc
quick example
dave your corner planning could do with a bit of work/ eg assessing exits
and you seem heavy on your front brake, but your not dangerous you keep good distance and your speed aweareness is bob on
now all the above is b0ll0cks i dont have a clue what im really like but as the old saying goes do your worsest nothing is off topic or will be taken offencively
cheers in advance
dave
ps i know of all the courses available i just want the org opinion

Join your local IAM group. They're pretty good at that sort of thing;)

scarey i ride pillion and with no handle bars it can be scarey, also you filter way too much when not nessisary,

[Alpinestarhero]

Dave, will you be at the annual rideout? I'm sure some of the more experianced riders on here could offer you some constructive feedback. I know I'll be looking for some.

Have you considered a bikesaafe course? I did one and learnt a few new things

Good idea, I will put my hand up for that Dave, and straight away I'll be able to tell you, your way too slow if I can keep up with you...I'll be on a pushbike.

Nothing out of the ordinary whilst I was checking your ar$e out on the Peaks rideout matey, looked nice and smooth...

Maybe the Lancashire one is... West Yorkshire group will bore you to the point where you need to accelerate directly into the groin of the nearest copper to avoid your heart stopping with boredom.

I'm thinking of doing the bikesafe too - from the experiences of people on here, it seems a decent course

[kitkat]

go along to your local IAM group, they will give you a free assessed ride before you have to join. It might not be completely free you may have to pay your assessors petrol but that should only be about £5 or a coffee
