Re: Advanced Riding Courses

Stu, did you go over to Ripley this morning? I was going to, but the weather was too grim for me!

I don't know how much this thread is looked at etc but just wanted to say that I would like to assist in this field if possible and if others are interested. I am currently a Traffic Officer with the Met and am keen to be a point of reference if anyone has any specific questions on road law / technique or advanced riding of any sort.

Also saw the post above about Ripley, might have a ganders one morning as I enjoy getting out and involved with all skill levels. I won't be as experienced as some of you lot having ridden for around 3 years now, but I have been privvy to a selection of specialist training which I would like to be able to pass on to assist others to be safer, smoother and progress where possible.

I forgot about this post - you sure I haven't already met you 8-[

But I went today :thumbsup:

Re: Advanced Riding Courses

I attend the WVAM last night - thanks to the advice of Stu! :)

Really good bunch of people and I learned a fair amount just in that one session, so I'll hopefully be attending the next observed run in September :)

Re: Advanced Riding Courses

Hi all. Hopefully a relevant note. I had an Enhanced Rider Scheme session out of Woking Yamaha a couple of weeks ago. The guy wasn't impressed with my race up to the lights, break, wait, then fast out of the blocks approach, but I learnt a lot and will go back for another session next month. £60 for a 1-1, 2 hour session, with Helmet mics etc. If anyone's thinking about it, I'd recommend it.

Re: Advanced Riding Courses

Deffo a good thing to do' been riding 12yrs and about 2 months ago went to a TVAM meet for a free observed ride, with a flea in my ear from the observer, numerous rides with Mark_h and watching some Twist of The Wrist on you tube my riding has got a lot less ragged and it does make you smile, they point out things that you will think " well that's obvious why have I not been doing this all the long" but don't take it as criticism, but as advice and you'll be surprised!:D

Re: Advanced Riding Courses

^ +1. Mark H is a good tutor, cant go wrong by him.

Re: Advanced Riding Courses

Can you advice me to any advance training courses in the Reading area in Berkshire ? Thanks.

If you want to do the IAM, you have TVAM in Wokingham which will be your nearest group.

Re: Advanced Riding Courses

Highly recommend tvam. They meet on the third sunday of every month, i will be going this sunday if you want to tag along. Youll get a free assessment ride which is well worth it to see if the club is for you. Newbies are very welcome and you will be far from alone, theres often 10-20 new starters each month
