Sean’s first day on the big bike in preparation for his Mod 1 test to come. The sign on the window says ‘Bikers Welcome’ but can anyone guess where we took our sustenance today.
Well done to Sean who took to the big bike with ease. From: http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/195837770466074

Congratulations to Nicholas & David, pictured here after passing their Mod 1 Bike tests in Newport on Thursday. David at 21 took the test on the 500, passing in the new A2 licence category. Nicholas who is just over 24 took the test on the 600.
It looks like it might be Llandrindod for the Mod 2 – snow permitting!
Well done both. From: http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/195837770466074

Chris, Nathan & Instructor Paul take a break in Fanny’s Rest Stop during their Mod 1 practice in Newport today.
A well deserved break. From: http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/195837770466074
Braking in the wet or on slippery surfaces requires a delicate touch. On a wet road the braking effort should be more 50 – 50 With even pressure on both brakes. On slippery surfaces, ice, snow or riding through a river like the rider below, avoid the front brake unless the bike is upright travelling in a straight line and then only use the lightest pressure. When slow manoeuvring it is better to avoid the front brake all together and just use a light dragging pressure on the rear brake. This will help to stabilise the bike and you are less likely to lose the front end.
Remember the brakes are not ‘on – off’ switches but require smooth progressive application.
Ride safely on these icy mornings. From: http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/195837770466074
