| IAM and RoSPA? Anyone got any experience?
Help! Had a little off last year on the way to Popham, and am soon to get back on the 916, if I’m lucky, although a bit reshaped due to serious and long-term damage to body. Have decided that I need to get a bit of fine-tuning in the skills department, since this was a stupid mistake I made with no-one else around, and no-one to blame but me. I’ve been riding for ever, or so it seems (passed test in ’75), but that still wasn’t enough. Has anyone got any ideas as to how to refine the old technique etc, and lessen the risk of this ever happening again? Am looking at guidance from the local IAM or RoSPA groups, but don’t know if that’s really my sort of thing – is it all Barbour jackets, Sam Browne belts and BMWs, or are they cool? Also, here in Northants, Plod run a thing called BikeKraft, (called BikeSafe everywhere else, I think) where they take you for an assessed ride. Sounds good to me, but will they just be all about slowing down, or would I learn something new? Any ideas – of the constructive sort – would be useful.  |
