Bikesafe 2012

GREAT ROADS - GREAT BIKE - GREAT RIDER?

We have the roads, you have the bike, but do you have the riding skills to match. As the song goes, "two out of three ain't bad", but unless you have the riding skills to match your bike you are asking for a spill.

Bikes are faster, handle better and look great. However, a top-class bike deserves a top-class rider. By learning important skills you stand a better chance of keeping your machine shiny side up.

To address this problem, why not book onto a BikeSafe skills workshop?

North Yorkshire Police offers motorcycle workshops as part of the forces continuing drive to reduce road casualties, supported by the York and North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership 95 Alive.

It is a well-known fact that very few riders appreciate the need or are willing to pay for further training once passing their DSA bike test. We aim to bridge the gap between that basic skill level and the kind of further training that enables riders to combine tremendous enjoyment with a much higher level of personal safety.

The majority of motorcyclists who hold a full bike licence will benefit from the workshop and are very welcome. Once you have completed the classroom input, an officer will make contact and arrange a suitable time to carry out an observed ride.

All course can be booked through the National Bikesafe website.
