Bike safe course

hi guy just booked a bike safe course being held at bexhill fire station on the 25 sep for £50 there are still places avail if anyone is interested i think they also have the 23rd and 24th.

if your interested here's the webby www.bikesafe.co.uk

 

I have been on the bikesafe course at Bexhill. A very interesting and rewarding day I would recommend to anyone.

 

Good posts guys, Bikesafe is excellent!

 

I can't wait it does sound very interesting

 

Done it twice with the Met, good days out...and doing it got me off a speeding ticket

 

Would defo recommend the BikeSafe courses. Just seeing how smooth the Police riders are is reason enough to do one!

 

I wonder if Phil concentrates more with the sponsors ? When I spoke to him, he said he was quite close to Chandlers (since they sponsored his silver BMW for the Bikesafe Days) and I should keep intouch with Chandlers for these sort of days... I did one with Phil a few months back at Groombridge Motorcycles at Cross in Hand, that was courtesy of Groombridge ...another sponsor. A good and informative day all in all with Fire Bikes there too.

 

This is on my list for next year - April/ May time
For those that have done it, what's the format for the day... classroom/ bike/ classroom/ bike?

 

Will try and get to this.

 

i keep meaning to do one of these ...........

guess its going to have to wait till next year now, when thecomes back out !!!!

 

Well I did the course today what a lovely day for it thank to the man upstairs for the rays



All sorts of bikes turned up think there was about 12 of us.

Order of the day was starting at 8.30
In the classroom watching a variety of films with discussions and safety do's and donts till lunch at midday which consisted of a variety of sandwich platters with diff fillings, quiche, sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, crisps, tea and coffee with
biscuits throughout the day.

Then after lunch you was put into pairs and out for a long ride with an instructor taking 2 people where you alternated in leading the ride and pulling over roughly every 30mins or so for a chat about your riding and any views or comments the instructor wanted to address etc etc

In total our group did 70miles in roughly just over 3hrs one of the other groups notched over 110 miles so it's all down to your instructor at the end of the day how far and how long your out.

A very enjoyable informative and eye opening day we even got a goodie bag consisting of pens, cup, baseball cap, hi vis jacket, leaflets and mag, badge, keyring and police rider motorcycling booklet all in a handy backpack all for £50 !!

I would highly recommend to anyone who has not done anything like this or is half interested.
