Advanced riding?

[garvey2003]

Ok, I would like to undergo my advanced riding. mainly so I can ride for Severn Freewheelers in Swindon but also to improve my skills as I use my bike every day for work.

I've had a look about and RoSPA seems the best option for me due to costs. Sort of pay as you go.

Now before I start paying out for training and memberships, does anyone know where I can get help on road craft from?

I was thinking of maybe videos or a forum online for useful tips and tricks.
the old pennies are a little tight at the moment or I would just go ahead a book my self in and get it all done

ANy help would be cracking

You are welcome to borrow the book if you like, I have the car one too

Will follow this with interest as I would like to do the same sort of thing.

Yes, for sure it's been a number of years since I read them both, so it's hard to be sure how much has stuck and how much I let slip, which I guess is where getting in with rospa or IAM comes in.

If you're in Salisbury then worth checking out http://solent-advanced-motorcyclists.co.uk
I'm doing an IAM Skills for Life package (£139) which includes IAM membership, book& other info, free SAM membership, observed rides to get to you test standard & IAM test. You're expected to cover your instructors petrol costs, £10/£15 depending on ride length but so far seems good value, enjoyable and I've already seen plenty opportunities to improve my riding.

I did one last year found it really useful especially the observed ride with the Police.
