I thought about this some time ago as a method to save insurance cost.
That was the only reason I could think of.

We don' need no steenking badges.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Cane"

The lifestyle. The wind in the face, the carefully planned overtake, the
smug feeling, the highly polished boots.

I'm excluded from membership.

 

ITYM 'expelled'.

 

If you want to slide the rear end of your bike, then apparently so.

Seriously, if you want advanced training to increase your confidence go for
it. but do the RoSPA test instead.

 

Anyone can do that: it takes a true Advance Motorcyclist to do it while
wheelying, mind

 

I had one of them test gos with the Thames Valley lot, great fun, and I
joined right away. Then I moved to Somerset before I could go the next
meeting - ho hum. There's loads of advanced training out there, but it's
unlikely to ever come cheaper than IAM does. It's all sortta much of a
muchness curriculm wise, though the IAM are know for being a tad fernickety
on some silly aspects - but of course every IAM group is gonna be different
people and personalities.

I was only told to take notice of speed limits in 30s and 40s, BTW. That
may have changed.

 

I think you're confusing sliding the back end out with wheelying round a
corner whilst you have your knee down. Apparently your bike can do that.

 

Well obviously, any bike I'm riding can do that

 

I manage to crash enough without being a member.

 

Yes, but you have yet to reach the heady heights of crashing on the DC
advanced riding course. A skill that Richard A managed to acheive and
it is, by all accounts, still spoken of to this day.

Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally

 

I had a near miss with DC, in that I almost got on the course - it was
booked, but then he did his back in, about 2 days before. So I went out and
crashed the Trophy, practically on his doorstep.
