Re: Bike Skills
Get out there and rack up some miles. There's no substitute.

Re: Bike Skills
Exactly what Ogden says get out and get some decent mileage under your belt and then 6-9 months into riding get yourself on a bikesafe course

Re: Bike Skills
Maybe approach a riding school and see what training courses they offer, most do some form of skills courses or back to biking which go over the fundamentals.

Re: Bike Skills
I did MC1 and MC3 at the i2i motorcycle academy. The courses are brilliant improved my riding skills, confidence and safety massively.
http://www.i2imca.com/page9.htm I'm also doing MC2 on the motorcross bikes on Monday and can't wait.  I approached the local IAM after I passed my test last autumn, but they wanted me to get a couple of thousand miles under my belt before training. This seemed ridiculous to me, as you most need the training when you've not got any experience.
