Anyone does this? Was it worth it?

I was chatting to the Coppers at the Quay last night and have requested details as I am in the risk category: Fairly young, back to biking, not done advanced training etc etc

I have done it and it is a really usefull day out. It makes you take stock of your riding and they give you guidance for minimising the chance of an accident.

you won't regret it

Ive done one and felt that it was excellent value for money. I'd recommend them to any rider no matter what their level of ability.

Ho! Ho! Keep kidding yourself Paul!

Sorry - yes, you should do it. You'll learn something and have a good time.

I did say fairly!

My mate is 39 (I think) and said he was in the donor category. Nice they don't use scare tactics!

Go with an open mind and you'll always learn something from these rides

I did it in London in December on the Monster. Well worth it, in spite of a slight hiccup in the morning because I didn't take proof of insurance (because they hadn't written to me to ask for it so only took my licence). By the time they got that sorted out I wasn't able to go out on the morning ride, which was annoying but the afternoon was very useful. I think if you learn just one thing that keeps you safer it's worth it. Road positioning was the most helpful thing for me, I think.

Anyway, you've got nothing to lose and possibly something to gain so go with an open mind and positive approach and you'll have a good day.

i managed to get a place on the all dayer northants police do at silverstone
but me bloomin brother has decided to get married that day:mad:

must say that i did the road based one a couple of years ago and it was supurb.
think it does depend on who you get though

i was shown to use the whole carridge way in order to increase visability through bends etc
have since been to a small talk by police advanced instructor who said it is a big no no

The Dorset one is 3 hours of which 2 are on road apparently. Don't have a price yet.
