    "Go straight over the roundabout."...........40 tonnes of truck rolls straight through the middle of a roundabout in Hull traffic swerving left and right trying to avoid it! (Teaching Gurkas to drive, they take everything litterally!)

    Sketching while driving can be a terrible distraction - even worse than using a mobile

    Had my second days training yesterday and we covered more on road positions, cornering at speed, limit points, estimating distances whilst travelling at speed, correct use of mirrors and life savers. fantastic day out learnt loads, I think most riders need advanced training to enhance their skills. 8 hrs in the saddle concentrating all the time is absolutely knackering. next one next month.

    Doing a full days training when doing my DAS left me knackered... Constantly concentrating for long periods sure does take it's toll.

    Keep up the good work.

    Well done J

    You're right about the extra training for most riders. There's always something that you can pick up and the more training you have generally the safer / smoother / and more progressive you ride, which makes it all more enjoyable

    02 RD07a RWB, Powerbronze tall screen, Remus Grand Prix, TT crash bars, TT pannier frame, Zega style panniers, Alpos top box,TT bar risers, TT headlamp guard, Heated grips, mainstand, Heidenau K60s for road and light offroad, TKC80s for the dirty stuff, Scottoiler, Autocomm, TT Zumo mount, Zumo 550 and most of all A BIG GRIN !!! Oh, and a very nice RD04 HRC coloured Marathon Replica
