Returning to biking? Born again Biker?

It may just save your life.



If you are thinking about returning to motorcycling after a long break you should consider doing a training course to refresh your old skills and learn new ones.

Getting back on the road
Do you watch Superbikes on TV and get all nostalgic about the good times you had on bikes when you were younger?

Riding a motorbike can be exhilarating, but take a reality check..NOW; the bikes you used to ride may have felt quick and agile and a bit scary but compared to modern bikes they would have been slow, very poor handling and quite often didn't want to stop. Many would now be considered underpowered even for a training bike.

Today's bikes are technological masterpieces. They're built using lighter materials, have very powerful engines, large radial tyres, disc brakes and some are even fitted with traction control and anti-lock brakes.

Are you as good as a top Superbike Racer?
Even the top Superbike racers get it wrong sometimes. They ride on the limit and are prepared for a fall. But remember TV doesn't show the agony the rider will be in the next day. Road riders can't rely on the relative safety of a gravel trap, they're more likely to hit a kerb, a wall, tree, lamppost, another vehicle...

Staying out of trouble
The best riders have developed a higher level of concentration than the average rider and are continually scanning around them for signs of possible danger. They don't wait for something to develop. Everything is planned, they travel at a safe speed with the bike in the right gear and in the safest position on the road.

You'll find that a lot of these riders have taken defensive riding courses and are constantly developing these skills.

It's a sad fact, but riders returning to biking after a long period of time without training are more vulnerable and are likely to be involved in an accident in their first two weeks of riding.

Motorcyclists are 45 times more likely to be killed on the road than car drivers, and these figures are rising.

This is where Scooter and Bike Training can help.
But training is boring..right? Absolutely not. After all, if you were trying to improve your golf swing or your tennis game, you wouldn't think twice about taking lessons with a professional.

Getting a swing wrong is embarrassing. Getting a corner wrong is deadly.
