    Get this book instead.

    Hahahaha, fucking hilarious! Who sez Katman doesn't have a sense of humour?!

    Awesome I'm going to laugh about that for ages. Maybe they do a course for riding around with a broom stuffed up their arse wearing short sleeved shirts with a flip top helmet open?? (all observed).


    But clearly the riding skills are the least of your problems. The biggest change if you're talking road is observational skills in traffic. There are several decent schools about, give them a call & see what courses they run & what the content is (rather than just aimed at getting you through the 'test').

    oh & try de-favour the rear brake, I always have to re-remind myself after getting off the dirtbikes.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    The fact that Keith Code is a twat (he's a scientologist, so goes without saying) does not negate the fact that he has some good things to say.

    As, it might be said, applies to certain others of our company.

    Nothing like a bit of inaccurate stereotyping (or trolling come to that)

    Well to be fair I haven't observed many bike cops lately (but you do usually see one trawling around with the face of death helmet open every so often). But many moons ago when I was involved in rider training we had insight into the training they were given & it left a bit to be desired.

    Heck in the initial days an old mate's dad was a Cop & he explained his training which largely comprised of "Here's a set of keys for a Truimph, a rule manual & a ticket book".
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Absolutely. You'll learn more in one day on a proper rider course than you will in a month surfing any website

    Forget about reading books, try using commonsense.

    The UK Police bike training was out before any other MC training courses and everyone else seems to have copied it or at the least used it as a basis .

    I did one of their courses way back in the 70's and it was great especially as the five of us were escorted by two cops, one leading and one checking up at the rear. Once they put their blue lights on to escort us through traffic. You had to be milimetre perfect on positioning, like the centerline of the tyre NOT crossing the edge of the white line and they utilised "making progress" which is keeping up a fast average. Certainly kept you on your toes. There are plenty of vids .

    As a final note if your classic VFR is idling next to a recent Harley, the Harley will refuse to start.
