| VERY good advice from Jools. Everybody has a different '' happy '' speed where they feel totally in control. For me now it's usually 60mph on an A road. On a good day it may be 70 plus , but over 80 and it all starts to happen a bit too quick for my liking. ( It's called old age - when I was younger 100+ in a 30 seemed safe - Oh me gawd did I really do that - Yes and got the ban to prove it! ) Before you do any training though, try and get hold of a copy of Motorcycle Road Craft, The police riders manual, and read it from cover to cover. It's an HMSO publication and the ISBN number on mine is 0-11-340149-3. I think it's less than a tenner, or your local library may have a copy. This will explain the basics of cornering for you, and if you go on any training scheme it will give you an idea of what to expect. The main thing is to enjoy your riding - which is what you are doing - and come home in one piece after every ride! Phil ( Otherwise known as mother hen )   |
