Notepad! I mean morning.So if you think youāre crap at taking bends - whatās the best thing a race school type thingy?
Morning allā¦ waiting for my holidays to be confirmed to do some serious planing for a London to Alicante trip involving 6 cities and 1811 milesā¦ to say that Iām anxious is an understatement.
Embrace it! Itās just how the new forum works 
Iāve finally moved house enough that I had an actual proper bed last night (in the wrong roomā¦), and then almost managed to leave early enough to get to work on time!
Morning all,
Notepad! I mean morning.So if you think you're crap at taking bends - what's the best thing a race school type thingy? Abzero@Abzero - Janey has done a few different ones and may have some good input on the matter.
GOOD MORNINGS LONDON
I blame Acemanās Old Triumph
Ride safe out there and enjoy your day
I blame Aceman's Old Triumph National TreasureDon't say that - It'll get it's own account!
Morning, think IĀ will have a BBQ tonightā¦sausages !
Hello LBers.Ā Kinda wet out there.
How many days?
Morning folks.
We could be 36 hours away for having Boris as PM.
@TimmyFox - yeah Iām shit at taking bends but thereās no need to broadcast it. LoL 
@Abzero - if you want to really learn how to ride your bike and corner better, AVOID ALL RACE SCHOOLS would be my best advice. They assume that you have a level of understanding and skill that most people donāt actually have. What I would recommend is some sort of on track training day. If youāre feeling rich, or have a particularly lovely other half who likes to indulge you, then Iād 101% recommend the California Superbike School. Youāll get 1-2-2 or 1-2-3 tuition on track and youāll also have classroom sessions that willĀ give youĀ the understanding of WHY your bike behaves the way that it does and what you can do to influence it.
Black and White trackdays also offers a very good one or two day package for on track training as well. Again, itās not cheap but itās still good value.
Thereās also Hop Rider Training but theyāre fully booked at present.
Bikesafe is doing an observed ride and track session with CSS at their annual show at Rockingham.
The Keith Code books are really good, but personally IĀ canāt be arsed reading them and itās hard to put it into practice without expert tuition to go with it.Ā
If none of them float your boat, try a novice only trackday as thereāll be instructors there that you can talk toā¦ It all depends on where youāre at with your riding and where you want to go with it. The principles of bike controlĀ are consistent but how you put them into practice varies enormously between road and track.Ā
Guys, my number plate lost one of those yellow plastic screws a couple of weeks ago, do you know where do you buy them by any chance?

To repair the roll call when it does that, hit the edit button and then submit. It sorts it all out for some reason.
@TimmyFox - yeah I'm shit at taking bends but there's no need to broadcast it. LoL šThanks Janey - interesting stuff to think about. I'm still a novice at this lark (2 years riding, 4months on a big bike.) I don't necessary want to ride faster; but increase my control of the bike. Had a look at the California Superbike School - and wow thats expensive; but sounds like you get alot out of it. The riding school I did my CBT+DAS with is run by an ex-racer who instructed there before, and they do "power" courses; but not sure what they entail. I also found a moto gym kana school (but everything using you own bike...like I want to drop that!)
