S Bend 1

This 2 day course has been designed specifically to aid you on those tight and twisty roads, where you have that certain puckering of the rear end should we say and your life flashes before you. Don’t be modest, it has happened to all of us, some more than others. Well this course is the one for you – the course is broken down into 2 days of intense tuition. Many other companies spend hours discussing the why’s and wherefore’s, where you should position the bike and in what gear and at what speed.

Great in theory but we are all different, we all ride different bikes with different performance and we all have different ability. So it follows - what I do will not necessarily be right for you, and vice versa of course. The course is designed to go at your speed and your instructor will coax you on bit by bit by bit until you are grinning from ear to ear – at the end of the session you should be saying.....

 


“IS THAT THE BEST YOU’VE GOT?”

 

REMEMBER, it is not how quick you go into the bend as history normally shows that "boots, braces & bum in the air and head down" just increases your heart rate and makes you all sweaty and prone to snap decisions. Great if you are into Chinese saunas. The smoother you are the more proficient you become The art of bend work, and I mean the art, is one which is acquired over time and much practice, it is not something you find under the Christmas tree one winter's night.

Hence this course is designed to make you think about more than just the BEND that always seems at the last minute to say HA! as it tightens up on you, but to make you smoother on the approach giving you more time to assess, react and adjust if needs be, or to just open the throttle and come out of the bend feeling like you’ve won the lottery.



Day 1
Bend 1

Meet and greet, radio up, sort the helmet cam out and Bob's your uncle, we are off to a series of bends where you show me how it’s done; or not as the case maybe.

Most of the day is taken up with practical exercises revolving around ………… you guessed it, those tight, twisty, thinga-me-bobs called bends.


Day 2

Day 2 sees us review what happened on Day 1…….. What went wrong :-( what went right :-) ..where we could improve… if at all. Then we are out again to practise practise practise on several different types of roads with tight ones, shallow ones, blind ones, sweeping ones, linked ones.

Cost for the days is £135 per person, per day. However…….. if we have 2 students this would drop to £115 per person, per day, always better to do the course with a mate so you can bat yourself off each other. It makes for a good training environment and the retention of information is better.

Motorcycling should be enjoyed; the ride should be finished with the idea of let's do it again……..NOT I was lucky there……. phew!

Call GT or Robbo to book yourself in for 2 days of brushing up or if you are happy with your bend assessment / cornering skills then 2 days of fun.
