Question Track day Training near Swindon?

Hi

I passed my full bike license back in Oct 2012 and have been told about Focus days?

Can anyone recommend any places in Wiltshire like Castle Combe where you can go out with an instructor who can give tips on how to improve your bike skills or develop some

Cheers

Well you've found the BikeSafe track day and the Motorcycle Safety Day that is ran at Castle Combe. BikeSafe also do a day course which is half classroom based and half on the road with the Police. Other than that there is a BikeSafe weekend run by Avon & Somerset, or there is a local IAM and ROSPA groups.

I suppose it depends on what you want...

Started with a local (to me) IAM group at the tail end of last year so have only been a few times but, it's great. They aren't all beardy blokes on Pan Europeans that look down their nose at you as seems to be the rumour.

Yeh right! Perception if the IAM is all wrong IMO.
