Book yourself in on Bike Safe in Northampton. Your insurance will drop significantly and you will learn a massive amount. The bike cops are really good guys too and don't mind the odd but of speed. You're in my neck of the woods, and having done Bike Safe it halved my insurance after not having a bike for 9 years. Ride safely and have fun.
I was chatting to a lady at the piston club bike meet who was there with the police courses, she said bike safe didn't do much? But the advanced course did, and gives you a discount on bikesafe 🤷🏻♀️ either way, definitely something to look into 😊
@@TipToeBikers Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I put 30k miles on my first bike (an Aprilia RST1000 Futura) between 2003 - 2005. I put 88k miles on my second bike (BMW K1200S) between 2006 - 2013. I have now put 15k miles on my current bike, a BMW R 1250 RT from Nov 2022 -to Oct 2022. I ride in all weathers. I did the Bike Safe last year in September 2023. I am a reverse biker now on the RT. I commute to London (last year, 3 times a week, from October to March (I'm a uni lecturer)). My bike is only used once or twice a month in the summer....weird! What I found is the Bike Safe gives you a basic understanding of tactics and techniques you don't get taught when learning to ride. It reaffirms your riding, or helps adjust your riding. Yes, it's a morning of theory and an afternoon of observation. However, it's like anything, you get out of it what you put in. I agree, advanced riding is going to help even more to reduce your insurance. Bike Safe gets you to know your local bike coppers, which is very handy. It significantly reduces your insurance and towards the end of the summer, you can get a discount. Years of experience driving cars, and previously riding bikes adds to your competence on a bike. However, the best training is to always think before you do anything. However, riding/driving defensively looking at all possible situations and events will keep you safe. All these courses teach you these principles (the Police wrote the book which the IAM and others use Roadcraft) IPSGA (information Position Speed Gear Acceleration). Additionally, as an entry into the advanced riding/driving, Bike Safe is excellent. For £65 (sometimes only £35) you can't go wrong and you'll get a big discount on your insurance. Advanced courses take ages to complete.
lol the double handed helmet tap, i'm sure the copper would have cracked up at ya :P

@@TipToeBikers I can imagine! Especially when it covers the speedometer so you dont know how fast you're going 😱
So inconvenient
Is it just me or is one of Katie's headlights out?
