bikesafe, ontrack? hows that then?

Wideboy · 05-06-11, 02:39 PM

basically you go out with a biker plod and they observe you, if they think your good and you listen bla bla bla you get about 10 laps (i think) as a reward. they only do it as no one would turn up to pay money just to have their riding scrutinised by a policeman so the track bit was to entice people in..... which is why i went

these are all i got, the rest were rubbish and couldn't be bothered to walk far as it was baking hot so this is at quarry which was the fastest bit.

i have to say out of all the groups we watched, dan and two of the instructors where the only ones close to getting their knee down there

My road assessment did not go well. Without going through the list of excuses I basically ballsed up a corner and ran very wide.

Totally agree. I could see the learning and improvements you were making each time round. Well done.
