Advanced Road Riding Skills training will provide confidence, and reinforce roadcraft and technical skills to riders who are:

• Graduating from  restricted to a full licence and a bigger bike.
• Moving from commuting to longer distances on roads not so well known, riding for longer times and possibly at higher speeds than they are used to.
  
• "Retreaded" or "Born Again" riders who have had a break from motorcycling.

Motorcycle Riding Co are keenly aware that traffic densities are much greater than they used to be, and show no signs of getting any less so.  Car drivers appear less and less observant, and a firm understanding of defensive riding techniques helps motorcyclists to be seen in traffic.  Understanding the use of late apexing on the road to increase your line of sight on corners, coping with tar-bleed, wet roads, roadworks - all this knowledge and practice, practice, practice contribute to keeping the road rider shiny side up.

The subjects covered under this heading of Advanced Road Riding Skills will also revise the basics: those skills that all of us need to practice regularly. Slow speed manoeuvring, sudden stops, braking in corners, counter-steer evasion - all these skills will be revised and practiced.

Motorcycle Riding Co also remind you that the road is a constantly changing environment.  It is not the place to test the outside limits of your bike's performance envelope.  By all means use track days to really hone your skills: if you are really, really good you can do all kinds of magic there, as witness the photo of the BMW GS Adventure.  And you can do it relatively safely because all the traffic goes the same way, the track is designed with run-off (or slide off!) areas, and there will be assistance standing by to help if you do buy the farm.   None of this applies on the road, so part of your skill set needs to be a good helping of common sense and discretion. Remember, there is no prize for the quickest biker in the graveyard!
