So i got my piece of tar, a nice guy who owns some parking up the road has agreed to let me use it for a "motorcycle training fun day" ... kind of thing.
Here's what i have:
2 pieces of clean tar, longest about 60m, about 30m wide, plus parking.
Some exercises:
1.Stopping (with tape measure)
2. Cones swerving
3. Figure 8 (size anyone?)
4. Slow race
5. The seesaw (ride over a seesawing plank)
6. I could map out a narrow "route" (600mm wide) for riders to follow.
It would be a sunday afternoon for about 3 hours. The idea is for non-official training, no "instructor" but allowing the people to learn by themselves and from each other. A more community based training approach.
Now there isn't ANYTHING like this by us, we don't even have the MSF. Motorcycle instructors are few and far between, and fairly expensive, and except for the bigger courses hosted at the racetracks, everything is geared solely for K53, which is nice, but it's not basic motorcycle skills training, which is what we ALL need.
I would like to ask for ideas, if i get the first one right i can look at doing it more frequently. Looking for ways to encourage good riding among my fellow riders.
peace
