Essex Bike Show 2016
Essex – Both Bike Safe & Hugger set to continue in 2016
Great news for bikers considering developing their rider skills as both these successful initiatives are set to continue this year, which as with previous years will be supported by Total Advanced.
Question – ‘What is a typical advanced training day?’
Our instructors are police or ex-police advanced motorcyclist. Before the day we tailor our training to your needs and produce a personalised agenda. Whether this is back to biking or after an advanced qualification. We only train on a 1-1 or 1-2 ratio. We have radios so we can continuously give you instruction. A normal day is between 7-8 hrs in duration. We do some theory, but most is on road practical instruction. Subject to weather and availability we can video the ride and take ‘stills’ which you can access from our Facebook page. If you want we can produce a DVD with commentary at a small cost. You will get written feedback based against a recognised advanced standard, so you can benchmark your skills and progress. You may also become eligible for cheaper insurance.
Considering Advanced Training – Its not regulated so choose wisely
Our instructors are all serving or ex police motorcyclist. Many are also advanced Rospa Examiners or have diploma’s in teaching advanced techniques. They are also assessors or have been for Bike Safe. Nick Brown’s background was on the Met Police Special Escort Group.
2016 Information about post test Motorcycle Training Courses
Despite the poor weather we have started already running courses. Each year demand has risen so our advice is to book early to avoid disappointment. Get a date in the diary, we don’t take a deposit until nearer the time and if the day needs to be moved there is no cancellation fee.
New touring destination
Our good friends Chris and Teri have opened Les Pradelles with motorcyclist in mind. Its set in a very scenic area of middle France and they are offering bed and breakfast facilities, wifi, etc and secure parking for bikes. Visit www.freewebs.com/lespradelles/
Rospa advanced riding test ‘practice session’
There has demand for us to carry out ‘mock’ Rospa tests as part of a riders preparation for the actual test. Many of our instructors are Rospa examiners so we can easily replicate the test procedure and provide you with feedback as part of your ongoing development. This mainly would apply to riders who have either trained with another company or through a local advanced group. Contact us for further information.
