2006 Dave Corden Training - interested?

Right, time to pull finger on this lest I never get round to it.

Please can I have a general indication (in best UKRM tradition, "maybe"
will suffice at this point) who would be up for some DC training in the
summer?

Cost is approximately £150 [1][2] for two full days riding/instructing
covering all road types and traffic conditions with a general focus on
improving anticipation, road reading and responses to situations -
varies on your abilities/requirements.

Location is Bristol (just off the M4/M5 junction).

Accommodation not included, however there are numerous UKRM'ers in the
area who may offer a floor. Failing that there's a travelodge just up
the road (Wizard has used this, so may be able to recommend/avoid!)

If you're interested please reply here or send me an email (the address
works) ideally with an approximate month you'd prefer. I can then go
back to Dave to see how it can all fit together.

[1] Yes, it SOUNDS a lot, however it breaks down to approx £9.30 an
hour, which isn't bad.

You won't get an insurance discount, you won't get a certificate, you
won't get lectured - you will however have your riding improved. If you
want the first three, go and join the IAM.

[2] I've also yet to hear anyone say they didn't gain anything from the
weekend - so far the feedback has all been positive.

 

Corden also does RoSPA Gold courses ...

I didn't know that - thanks.

And continues to be the butt of numerous jokes

"Maybe"

Pah, I reckon he could learn things from me!

 

How many riders is each weekend limited to?

2 per instructor.

If there are enough people it'll be Dave and Geoff, so it'll be four in
total - but still two separate groups.

 

dwb scribbled on the back of a napkin:

"Maybe" - depends on the weekend...

 

I think Dan was asking for people's preferred month as well?

I am interested but cannot commit at the moment.

It will be various weekends - depends on who else might want to
go/what's available. It would be easiest if you could me know which
month would suit you.

 

dwb scribbled on the back of a napkin:

That's far too organised for me, that is.

Pretty much any time with the exception of possibly Chimay (w/e 15th
July or so) and the last week in July/first two weeks of August.

Other than that it's a bit of a moving target because I have to work
weekends during that time but they keep moving about *which* weekends I
have to work.

 

September is good for me.

 

K.... I was thinking maybe June/July/August ...

Any of those good for you?

 

August - anything after the 15th.

 

Ooh - I'd be interested in that one. I wonder how much he charges for
it? Millenium Motorcycles does it for £150 plus £50 for the test.

Think it's a bit more than that, but there's a few days of classroom
instruction in there too ..

P.

 

Hmm, might stick with the Millenium option then, as I've already been
assessed and, apparently, only require a little bit of extra tuition to
be good enough to attain the Gold standard - assuming I can make the
grade on the exam day, that is!

Unfortunately, I think it's going to be later on in the year that I do
it, as I need to chuck more money at that bloody Fiat, the shocks are
doing a shocking job and need replacing (

Well, I've just booked the week off the last weekend of May / 1st
weekend of June, and I'm determined to actually do it this year.

Crash space available, about 30-45 mins from Bristol.

 

You do realise that'll mean you'll actually have to get the VFR out and ride
it, don't you?

 

Heh.

I want to. But it's been too bastard cold at 7am in the morning. I was
scraping fucking ice off the car this morning.

You fucking poof. I was outside smoking a fag a 4am wearing nothing but
