These courses are intended to be short "stand-alone" sessions as an inexpensive alternative to our full length courses, and often take place in the evening. Courses will include an element of "distance learning" to cover theory, allowing the two hour session to concentrate on practical training. Topics include:

 

Night riding

Two hours getting used to the hazards of the dark.

Winter riding

The Winter Riding course covers the "do's and don'ts" of machine control skills required to ride in poor conditions. Assessment of road surfaces, anticipation of problems and stategies for dealing with particular conditions will be explored in detail.

Please Note: these courses run from October to March.

FOR DATES and PRICES see COURSES

 

Overtaking

Two hours covering overtaking theory and practice. Learn to pick and make safe passes.

Please Note: these courses run from April to September.

FOR DATES and PRICES see COURSES

 

Slow control (Maidstone only)

Learn good control at walking pace. Two hours covering slow riding and turning technique.

Collision avoidance  (Maidstone only)

Although it's best to stay out of trouble, sometimes it all goes pear-shaped for the best of riders. Spend two hours covering emergency braking and swerving technique.

Group riding

Many club and group rides come to an untimely end after a rider makes a mistake - accident statistics show that riders in groups are at higher risk of an accident than a lone rider. Learn to ride safely in the company of other riders, and understand how you can avoid the problems of peer pressure on group rides.
