Rusty Rider / Advanced training Nr Southampton? - SV650.org

jambo · 10-05-06, 01:12 PM

Title kinda says it all, anyone know any good places to contact regarding rusty rider or advanced training coursed near Southampton and Winchester? My Dad's just started riding again after a 20 year gap (Borrowing the Bandit 6 for now) and I mentioned some training would probably help him to feel comfortable and safe. Any suggestions?

I feel the limiting feactors are foot size and hydrodynamics... Maybe a boy without shoulders?

Hi,

Can recommend ABT in Shirley High Street from experience although it is 5 yrs since I used them so things can change.
Were friendly and good when I passed test with them.

Good Luck!

Following on from Matt, it is actualy ADT you need to contact and they have moved to new premises in Shirley Road and look to have got a dealership with Kawasaki.

If possible try to get Rick Davies as instructor/trainer. The guys at Rob Willshers said that they rate him one of the best in Hampshire! I had him a couple of years ago - he's good!

Either that or go for Edge 44 (part of Bikesafe) in Hampshire. It was one of the best days I have had on a bike. Best of luck!
