Hey Psy - looks like you'll be able to set up a few sessions with DSC'ers. I'm up for it if you want to do that.

You should have been looking where you were going then you would have avoided them! :P

Philip, I'm in the Havant/Chichester area, come along to the next Sussex DSC meet and we can have a chat

I just got a call today from the local Kent Police bikesafe people who run it out of The Warren (West Wickham area). They had a space available for this coming Sunday so I shall do that.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll do this and then look into the IAM.

Jools.. I read your tips a few times now. Thanks very much for taking the time to write that down.

cheers,

Dunks

I did the Bike Safe course yesterday. Great fun and I learned a lot. It was very refreshing to talk to the Police riders and hear their views on the speed limits. To be honest, we rarely rode at the speed limit all day. That wasn't to say we rode recklessly, just went at an appropriate speed for the conditions. The Police rider with me took us for a hugh speed blast round a couple of junctions of the M25. It was superb fun.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. It was really good and I feel I learned a lot about road positioning and cornering, which is exactly why I went.

I shall look for a suitable track day course next year.

Now contact your local IAM group while things are quiet over the winter months. That way they can assign you an observer while things are quiet.
