I'm happy for a rideout. PM me if you have a time in mind.

Had the bike 2 weeks, 700 miles, DAS passed 2 months ago, not very experienced.

Could do with a confidence boost as I don't seem to be getting any better. (Despite my 700 miles.)

After 700 miles I was still entirely occupied with not falling off in the driveway :) It'll come.

the more time/miles you rack up, the more confident you will feel

I'm willing to go out for a run, time is a little tight though what with the new house...

I'm willing to go out with you and do an IAM type run with you and see how I can help...

Forward observation and positioning bring greater confidence... Sad thing is with the bike test is it doesn't teach you how to ride the bike properly...

What you need is a gentle ride around the north side of Loch Earn :)

A year later and I'm still slow going into bends!! Do what you feel is comfortable and as everyone says it will come. The thing that I've found if you're having a crap day write it off as that or head home. The next time will always be better.
