A Shameless plug

I have been riding bikes since I was 17 years old from scooters to crotch rockets and thought I was a fairly decent rider.

Well heres the thing you can still teach an old dog new tricks. I have been helping out a friend who runs his own bike training company here in Sydney and he in turn has been giving me a few lessons / advice on improving my riding skills. The main things have been about bike control and low speed manoeuvres getting the back wheel to skid and slide out yet still managing to control the bike and then move on without putting my feet down. Generally stuff you would not do out on the open road but actually help you out or at least help with your ability to control the bike when the unexpected happens.

If anyone would like to hone up some skills or maybe learn something new then give Mick a call.

You can contact Mick on his website

Yes I know this is a shameless plug, but I would not do so if i did not think there was something to be gained from learning new skills and confidence in unexpected situations

Always something to learn. I have regular refresher training and have just joined the Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists and had an evaluation ride done with guys who look for common faults. Good to get the feedback to make sure you aren't practising your own mistakes!
