LEARNING

Modern bikes are easier to ride, more agile and have better brakes than ever, and ridden well are fun. They can also get us into serious trouble in seconds! Riding on wits, adrenalin and reflexes won't keep us out of trouble for ever. So, the more we know, the luckier we get!

"Kevin had lots of helpful tips for working out what was happening ahead and keeping me concentrating on the road without talking too much and being distracting."

"Here his advanced riding experience and years as a courier showed through."

Years as a courier gave me a unique insight into the problems faced by civilian riders. So our training is very much about real-world riding and the result is to make you a safer rider, whatever and wherever you ride.

At Survival Skills, our holistic approach to training blends technical skills, knowledge of risk and self-awareness as a rider . We offer you ideas to make you THINK about the dangers faced on the roads, and show how by focussing on risk assessment and risk management, you'll gain the greatest benefits from proactive defensive riding by dealing with hazards before they put you at risk.

Our proactive approach to avoiding nasty surprises is equally valid whether you ride a scooter or a superbike, whether you are a new rider or experienced . The proactive approach which will make you a more rounded and more relaxed rider is within the reach of all.

"I was at the Warren doing BikeSafe today. Have to say it was a great day (if a bit damp – but I can't blame the guys for that) and a great refresher for Kev's training. Wayne recommended I do IAM/ROSPA based on what he saw today, i.e. he was very pleased ("best rider this year") and I owe it to Kev - thanks, mate."

(Stephen June 07 after a "Confidence Builder" course for a new rider)

Whilst basic training is of a generally high standard, passing the bike test doesn't make you an expert rider.

On the other hand, don't dismiss what's taught as "just to pass the test" either. The safety system you learned is based on the police method!!

Survival Skills courses build on what you already know to bring you to the highest standard of riding you can achieve. New riders will expand on the basic skills taught by your training school, and for experienced riders 'Point and Squirt' cornering and Risk Assessment / Management will take you beyond "advanced system" riding.

Wherever your skill level or depth of knowledge lies, the Survival Skills approach to riding will move you up to the next level of riding ability to enhance your enjoyment of your machine.

Competitively priced, our one-to-one courses are excellent value for money, and suitable for riders of all levels of experience and ability.

All you need to bring along is the enthusiasm to get more out from your riding, whatever kind of riding you do or type of machine you ride.
