James on his Step Up Day today, practising Figure 8s on his first time on the 600.

He made it look so easy and is ready to arrange his Mod 1 test.

Well Done. From: http://ift.tt/1hd7ojD

Bookings are already taken, but there is still space. Don’t miss out.

Just a few things our students have described our course as: “Awesome”, “Life Saving”, “Fantastic”, “I learnt so much”, “I thought I could read a bend, but I know I can now”, and an “Amazing Confidence booster”.

A frosty Caerphilly Mountain was the meeting for Ian’s RoSPA Retest this morning. After a few Highway Code & Roadcraft questions we set off, heading for tge Vale of Glamorgan.

After just 20 minutes into the ride unfortunately (or fortunately – depends which side you look at it from!!!) Ian’s bike became engulfed in oily smoke as it developed an oil leak, bringing the test to a premature end.

Ian seemed relieved!!

Getting wet, out riding for work today, you do everything possible to stay dry but then the first thing you do when you get home is jump in the shower!

What’s that all about? From: http://ift.tt/1hd7ojD

Tony makes a change from his job of driving his 18 wheeler HGV delivering the Daily Mail to just two wheels to pass his Mod 2 bike test at his first attempt today.

From delivering the news to being the news!

A great result for him and now he has a list of biker tea stops to add to his truck stop list.

Well done. From: http://ift.tt/1hd7ojD
