Sounds a reasonable request to me, before you do something hazardous get trained. I'll be looking for something similar before my kids go on the road. Anyway my pal here at work is about to do his advanced course with the IAM he lives in Barnstable do you want the details?

ok listen up!

ROAD riding

is not TRACK RIDING!!!!!!!!!

and if you realy think they are the same go book YOUR coffin

Fact 1

racing lines DO NOT work on the road !!

unless you wanna meet yourself head on.

Reasone .ENTRANCE APEX EXIT (track) step in weejb weeksy skids raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatler

i dont do tracks because I'm **** on them !

cant get my head around entrance apex exit !

But fast roads YES YES YES why?

because its about reference

Vanishing points road positioning etc etc


EXample right hand bend just off left kerb vanising point comes to you to fast into the corner

vanishing point moves away from you CHASE IT GAS GAS GAS

slow in fast out !

i've seen so many head the ball's come out of donny after a track day only to bin it in the first series of bends

why ?

californian super bike school for raceers BRILL track day ADVICE !!!!

ROAD CRAFT as used by fire police ambulance iam rospa etc etc The LAST WORD IN SAFETY ON THE ROAD


i loved that rant !


ps jewell go do the training it realy does make you more aware of other's on the road ...........mav
