this was held at Sheffield Arena in 2010 and for a free show it wasnt at all bad,loads of displays and you could go out for an assesment with a police rider.This year its at Doncaster racecourse

well worth a look and the assessed rides are really worth it no matter how experienced you are.

Went on a bikesafe course myself a couple of years ago. Very informative and the cop was great. Told us whilst on the course he was a biker first and cop second.
It was a 2 to 1 ratio and told us to ride like we normally would, so I did
Great weekend.

Used to go to these when they were held at cheltenham racecourse.
I done a bike safe course in 08 and have booked another one for April this year. 25 quid for 2 days with lunch as well .

Im going to have a walk over on sunday

went today, twice once on the way out and called in again on the way back. not bad for a free show. probably couldn't have spent much more than an hour or so there. Got a dog tag with my Mrs's contact details on it just in case, I've been threatening to get one for a while now and there was a guy there doing them so I bit the bullet, only a fiver as well. I put my name, post code, house number and my Mrs's work, mobile and our home phone number on it. Also got a little first aid kit they were giving away for free, its got a few plasters, surgical tape, small scissors, tweezers, antiseptic wipe, sting relief wipe and a bit of gauze. hope I never need any of these but you never know.

I was thinking of nipping over tomorrow for an hour.
Maybe not now from what you say.
Might have to finish off in the garden after walking the dogs instead.

well we went again today but in the car this time so I could grab loads of freebies and ended up with 2 more first aid kits and 6 V2 sponges http://www.visorvision.co.uk/shop/2-x-V2-Sponge-pocketpacks-29#.UbS_PYxwbcs used these for ages theyre really good.

. Why not?

I was told its to do with the anti mist but I would think the outside would be fine

Scorpion are the same, eats away at the anti-mist coating.

[bladerunner 0]

its only a sponge you soak in water

[fr499y 0]

might be to do with the type of sponge it is and the shitness of the anti-fog/mist coating on the scorpion visors?
