RichardH 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Did one a couple of months back, bloke turned up in black leathers and on a black R1.He told me there would be no tickets issued for anything I did as his job was to point out my bad habbits, but he would give me a talking to if I did daft stuff like speed through villages etc. It was a great ride and learned a lot.

Guest Guest Posted May 29, 2011 I've done three bike safes and to say they are brilliant is an understatement. I'm now doing my Rospa training I'm getting so much more out of my biking since doing these courses its amazing how much easier it is to ride if you can read the road properly.Plus don't forget to mention that you have done bike safe next time you do your insurance, you get money off..

Guest Guest Posted May 29, 2011 My Rospa cost £40 quid to join and when I go out with my trainer its a £10 for his petrol. Bloody good value I think and not as expensive as a lot of people think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
