Advanced riding course - I blame UKRM

Had a *really* good day doing the Derbyshire County Council's
subsidised Bike Plus course which acts as a one day taster for the
Advanced Skills course.

I'll resist doing an Antony E and just say the highlights were the
road from Sparrowpit down into Castleton and being bollocked over the
radio for *not* racing a Harley away from the lights.

The report is split into 4 sections, 'key skills', 'bike control',
'road behaviour' and 'hazard recognition and systematic approach'.

Each of these sections is broken down into 4 others and then there is
a summary.

All the little sections have good or very good next to them apart from
two - Positioning - had a tendency to stay out too wide on corners but
improved as the day went on and Speed management - kept creeping over
the speed limit. Oh and next to 'Attitude' it has 'considerate and
tolerant' so I don't think that bit can be blamed on you lot. I liked
the fact it had 'very good' next to Acceleration <g>

<proud mode>
The summary reads,
"very good, very safe, just needs to watch speed limits, very
confident, very positive."
</proud mode>

If it hadn't been for you lot I wouldn't have re sat my test after the
**** up on the first time. Thanks.

So you paid good money to have someone tell you can ride a bike.
Amazing.

Don't blame me.

 

Money only has value when you give it to someone else.

When you lend it surely?

 

That kid's grandad was a German spy, I reckon. The old scrote said that they
were his favourites when he was a kid and by my reckoning that would be
wartime. Werther's are German. Nuff said.

Well done my lady.

What can you possibly learn about riding a sportsbike if you're not
breaking the NSL?
