I liked it. Didn't learn vast amounts, but for me the main thing was finding out i haven't picked up too many bad (or dangerous) habits in just over a year of riding, so that alone was worth it. |
That was pretty much what I was told: "Yeah not bad, you're not dangerous, not gonna kill yourself right away..."
Well it's nice to be reasured, but there must have been something critical he could have said. I (like everyone I'm sure) like to think my riding's fairly decent, but I can't imagine it's perfect and that there was nothing else he could have said.
Not that it mattered, because it wasn't a realistic environment for observation anyway, because I don't stick that ridgedly to speed limits, nor do I overtake so infrequently. And, quite frankly, after riding so sedately all day I was so bored and inattentive by the end my riding went to pot when usually it would be ok.

Err
The police rider I was with made sure we were using the rear brake - he wasn't bothered if we but it into neurtal or not.
