I just spent 6 hrs in the saddle today on a bike course, 3 hrs learning controlled riding, clutch control, safety riding etc in a safe off-road compound, lunch, then a 2 hr ride with another guy and a qualified trainer thro the town and country roads using intercoms. Had a blast and learned more than i ever imagined, and all for only £100, inc the use of a 125cc geared motorcycle.
I thought i would be totally bored cos i would know it all, but i didnt want to stop. Trainer was great and even let me have a blast along the country roads alone while he stayed with the other guy who was only 16 and on a 50cc moped so couldnt go over 30mph. Soon as i heard him in my earpiece say " Steve if you want to open her up along here you can, dont worry about us, just go. Wait for us at the next village", i was off like a bat outta hell, kinda, i hit 65-70mph
Well worth the money and time.
