Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Yep, that was me parked on my own. Was your ovbserver Roger? on a brand new Pan? He's one of the Basingstoke team observers and does look a lot like Ricky.
So was it what you expected? One tip is if you want to make a go of it, get out with your observer as often as you can. Quite a few just do 2-3 rides then lose interest. that way you don't build up the relationship with your tutor observer, do not get to have a good time (once you get a good relationship with your observer and he trusts you, it gets a LOT quicker) and then never get as far as going for your test. Given that your joinig fee includes your first test fee, this is a bit of a shame. If you got on well with Roger I think he's looking for more associates at the moment. I'll be seeing him Monday night and can suggest he may want to pull you from the pool rather than leave it up to the usual random allocation. On the other hand if you thought he was a total ass I'll not bother

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Thought it was great and I think that I will get a lot out of it. I will be signing up this week, but think I want to get an observer that is more local to me.

Re: TV IAM Rideout - 21st Oct
Glad you guys had fun. After gettin all excited about this I eneded up missing it cos the guy that had bought my GPZ decided he needed to pick it up this morning so i had to wait about for him.
Went out for a ride later but I really want to do some observed stuff to get some pointers on lines and stuff. Will havr to try and make it to the next one. |
