Advanced Riding Course

[Rob P]

Hi All
new to this site, I have just got back in the saddle after having a break for a few years, and I am looking at doing a advanced riding course. I am sure there are some of you out there that have done one, i would appreciate some feed back on which one you found the best.
Thanks
Rob (just happy to be riding again)

I did this one.
It is all day, one on one and is about 80% roadcraft and 20% riding technique. They provide radio communication.
I found it very worthwhile especially in terms of the little things that may make the difference between keeping you alive or not. The riding technique stuff emphasises preparation and smoothness.

It's not cheap but. The web page advertises $375

It may well be the best motorcycling related $375 that I have spent.

(P.S. I also did RRRS but well before the riderskills course - it's much more basic. I did RRRS with a pillion as I ride with my wife as pillion often and it too was very useful as a consequence)

Happy to give more feedback - PM me if you want more details.

I can totally recommend Riderskills. It is worthwhile, not only for the techniques and the tips, but also for some great advice on road position, situational awareness and so much more.

It is a non judgemental and the instructor is focussed on you getting the best out of the course for your needs.
