What is Advanced Riding ?

It is a safe, skilful and enjoyable way of riding. Advanced riders are more observant, better at anticipating changes in the surrounding conditions and are consequently able to plan their riding to create space and time to deal with any situations real or perceived

What makes a better rider ?
  * A good rider will continuously and accurately seek and analyse, using their senses, all information so that they can anticipate and plan situation's safely
  * This can be achieved by riding systematically

There are only two things you can alter on your motorcycle:
Your speed and direction.

By systematically using a logical approach to deal with hazards, you become a better rider, remembering always that safety comes before everything. By applying advanced riding techniques you greatly reduce your risk of having an accident or having a part to play in someone else's.

Many riders will ride badly and because their error's are without consequence are thus reinforced. Use every fright or near miss you have to evaluate your part in it , and how could you have avoided it and what did you miss. If you are having regular scares on the road maybe its time to ask yourself "Do I need some training"?

Even though a crash or accident may not be your fault, it will hurt and will probably cost you money.
