moan over! What wonderful weather, i have people say we had not much of a summer, well i can only remember a couple of days of wet and windy, we had the tail end of that hurricane and we still trained in that! Now we are in Autumn, that means the sun is lying low in the sky, so early morning and early evening you need to be a little more carefull with sun blindness remember all road uses will have the same problem with reduced visibility being on a bike we are a 1/3 the size of a car, we all need to be aware especially at road junctions, and overtaking! remember keep it safe and have fun!
1/8/2011 This Week I have been mostly reflecting!
And we move on! or have we? In July/August edition of BIKE magazine there are reviews on the best bikes of the 70's to the Noughties! yes I've been lucky enough to own a few of them, and rode many more! But !!! is that what its all about? or is it about the rush of ground speed and the noise/smell.
Now a good friend came round tonight for a chat and a cup of coffee, now, he has a nice little business,good kids and a couple of houses in France, ,SO? he has the money for a super bike, but no, he rides a Suzuki GS500e in fact i sold it to him a couple of years ago, to him it sums up the, back to basic motorcycling, no frills just get on and ride! seeing him pull away, just brought back those old days when we had to make a choice, beer or petrol? yep petrol £3.00 fill the tank up and ride, baby ride! lets get back to basics, the thrill of riding!! keep it safe keep it simple!

22/7/11 This week I have mostly been Re training!
There are times when normal training techniques don't work, this week has been one of those weeks, It is these sort of situations I needed to sit back and watch and try to understand what is not working, then come up with a new idea or way of explaining what we need to get it right. Answer! cut it down to bare bones and build back up level by level, keep it very simple, change your own visual perpective and observe and understand! good news. we done it! its great to keep learning! happy riding everyone!
17/7/11 This week I have mostly been training!
Why oh why do young minds think they can get away without correct proffesional training and go along and try out testing!
this sunday a independant rider attempted the mod 1 with no training, when he came to the emergency stop, the bike skidded all over the place went sideways and he came off,! nice cbr 125 damaged and possible broken collar bone, (and nobody likes to see that!) well done to Terry and Ben who passed their Mod 1
Tuesday 12th july - Whats happened to the sun! : (
I was asked today about how a restricted bike looked compared to a full powered bike! so you tell me! i have posted two bikes, 1 is a restricted gs500 the other is a full power gs500
Friday 1st July - A day of Sunshine and a good days training and our new updated web site is live!
Good days training, getting everyone ready for Mod1 Sunday and Ian now ready for test Mod2 thursday, and our new updated web site has gone live! its been months and im happy! still needs tweaking! Enjoy!
