Advanced Motorcycle Training
From those just starting out on their biking
careers to experienced riders, THE ROAD™ will take your riding
higher. Guaranteed, it will change your riding. The intention is that you
should get the very best from your motorcycle and at the same time increase
your safety margins. The goal is to achieve an advanced riding technique,
showing confidence, accuracy, safety and a smooth, polished ride at every
speed. And if you have ways of thinking that are preventing you from doing
that, the additional aim is to eliminate those too.
- THE ROAD™ style delivers you a method of riding which you can use every day. The methods and the techniques will quickly become your natural style. This will allow you safe and smooth progress in even the most difficult of roads and traffic conditions.
- THE ROAD™ aims to deliver the highest quality observation and feedback on your riding available. This will more than meet your needs and present standard.
Having established an understanding of your riding background and experience, there will be a briefing covering riding theory and skill development. The rest of the session is spent on the road. Invariably, we find a pleasant location - friendly cafe, teahouse or pub - for a break and/or debrief at the end of the ride.
Remember that the aim is to make to you safe and for you to get the most from your bike. This may mean that at the end of a ride you ride at the same speed as you did at the start, but your safety margins are miles wider and your comfort levels on another plane.
Slow Riding Skills
There
are many competent riders, not just those new to riding, and some who
already hold advanced riding certificates, who have surprisingly undeveloped
slow riding skills. They therefore lack confidence in being able to make
progress by filtering through traffic. They ponderously paddle their bikes
around in confined spaces instead of doing a quick elegant turn. There are
others who obtained their motorcycle licence before the advent of CBTs and
may never have had to do any slow riding in a safe, controlled environment.
If this sounds like you and you would like to see yourself riding slowly with confidence and panache, sign up for a unique session dedicated to giving you the skill blocks you need to build on. You will then confidently ride your bike slowly in traffic and turn in confined spaces.
THE ROAD™ 3-hour course concentrates on the following skills:
- Getting a feel for your bike and what it can really do
- Accurate stopping
- Start-turn-stop
- Slow riding in a straight line and through a slalom course
- U-turns and Figures of Eight
This course can accommodate up to four people at one time. If you would like to book Slow Riding Skills with THE ROAD™, click on the button below:

Your Drive should be: . . . Safe Safety is the most important aspect of all riding. Position and speed must always be sacrificed for safety, but safety must never be sacrificed for any reason. The rider's objective is to maintain safe progress by identifying hazards early and planning how to deal with them safely and efficiently. The four key skills of advanced motorcycling are Concentration, effective all round Observation, Anticipation and Planning. Advanced motorcycling is using these skills properly and coordinating them with good handling skills to ensure that your riding is . . . . . . . Systematic The System of Motorcycle Control is a way of approaching and negotiating all situations that is safe, methodical, and leaves nothing to chance. Riding to a system draws all your driving skills together so that you can deal with an unpredictable environment in a methodical and logical way and have time to select the best position, speed and gear to negotiate all hazards safely and efficiently. . . . Smooth If your motorcycle control and handling skills are properly coordinated with your perceptual and awareness skills, your riding will not only be safe and systematic, but it will also be smooth. Nothing should look or feel hurried. The three main considerations are rider comfort, motorcycle stability and motorcycle sympathy. . . . Speed (correct use of) The ability to make progress is an important advanced riding skill, but progress must never compromise safety. Inappropriate speed (excessive speed for the circumstances, regardless of the statutory limit) is dangerous and unacceptable. Advanced riders understand this and know that speed limits are limits, and not targets. They use their perceptual and awareness skills to identify when they should impose their own speed limit on themselves, (within the statutory speed limit), depending on circumstances. The four S's of Advanced Driving, (Safety, System, Smoothness and (correct use of) Speed ensures that the rider makes progress with skill and responsibility and is always at the right place on the road at the right time, travelling at the right speed with the correct gear engaged for that speed and can always stop safely in the distance that can be seen to be clear. |
