Level (1)


This is for riders whose Observer believes they would benefit substantially from developing their Slow Riding skills. It will concentrate on:


(a) Confidence in the feel of your motorcycle at slow speed, including when braking and steering


(b) Accurate starting and stopping


(c) Basic left and right turns from a stopped position and the 'U' turn


(d) Figure-of-eight


Level (2)


This is for riders who have already attended Slow RidingTraining and would like to have more time to develop these skills:


(a) Figure-of-eight


(b) Slalom


(c) Look, Lean and Roll (i.e. cornering under power) exercise


(d) Brake and steer exercise


If you have been on the slow riding course before you will know how good it is and you are welcome to come again, but you must RESERVE A PLACE.


The course starts at 0930 so please arrive in plenty of time. Everyone has a very enjoyable day. Check out the photos on the SAM web site from previous events.
