BikeSafe Police Course

Hey guys, I spent yesterday with the Police on a BikeSafe course (as in MCN) the other week. Brilliant:rock Although it's a brief overview on how they ride, you sure do learn loads, I'm much smoother and safer as a result. It sure is satisfying riding around without touching the brakes much. They are really cool too. They weren't bothered about black visors, small plates or exhausts (you should have heard some of the Harleys that came:scared) They promised no tickets either - if you took the mickey you got kicked off. They sure can ride those BMW's, my instructor was an ex speedway professional and man could he hussle. It's really strange riding fast (over the limit in some cases) with a copper in your rear view mirror. Takes a while to do what he says - ride as you normally would. I made a complete horlicks of one corner and ended up on the otherside of the road:mad: - he was totally cool, had a chat, worked out what went wrong, no bother. Brilliant guys (and girl), brilliant day, for 25 quid including lunch - do it!!!:yesnod

Where can I find out if there is one in my area? Just contact the local police? John

Hey Biaggi, That sounds cool mate. Still looking for a bloody bike. Missed 2 so far, one was £3500 and the other was £2245. BLAST!!!!!!! SATAN

Seems cheap for a zx12r. Ross

That is cheap for a ZX-12R!!! Good luck mate Re the course - only the London boys are doing it - being subsidised by London Transport (worried about increase in accident rates following Congestion charging) but you can do it whereever you live. Some local forces maybe doing it, one was mentioned in last weeks MCN letters page, just give em a call.

Biaggi, You did the course in London ? Satan.... Looking for a bike...??? What happened to the R1 (mister up to date here)

LM - sure did. www.bikesafe-london.co.uk
