MERCURY MTX
10-03-20, 11:05 AM
A new and exciting partnership between Mercury Motorcycle Training and Castle Combe Circuit has been formed to offer motorcycle rider development opportunities.
The first offering is a Motorcycle Skills School Day. If you have limited or no experience of riding on track or you have recently passed your full motorcycle test and you wish to enhance your skills then this day is for you.
Participants will experience the capabilities of their machines as well as themselves in a safe, controlled and traffic free environment on the circuit. It will merge the skills learned on the circuit with the skills needed to be a safer and more competent rider.
The day will begin with registration, noise testing and a full mandatory safety brief.
The remainder of the day will be circuit sessions preceded by a short theory lesson delivered by a qualified Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) or track instructor. Your time on circuit will be used to put the theory into practice under the watchful eye of your instructor. Topics covered in the theory sessions will include:
Vision – “Look where you are going – and a little more!”
Machine dynamics – “Some simple principles of physics”
Braking – “How hard can you really brake?”
Steering – “Your hands follow your eyes”
Throttle control – “Power is in the hand of the beholder!”
Body position/anchoring – “We sit “in” our machines not “on” them – discuss!”
Cost: £150
